Cotto has a $15M guarantee to fight Martinez in MSG

http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=1969157&s=box&type=story&campaign=rss&source=ESPNdeportesSECTION.BOXEO&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Sources revealed that Cotto and Top Rank already have June 7th reserved in Madison square garden. The event is scheduled to take place the day before the traditional Puerto Rican Day Parade. An alleged attractive offer from the leaders of the MSG, whose president Hank Ratner, made Top Rank and Cotto's team look towards a celebration in the historic site. For this projected fight with Martinez, MSG would be used to its maximum capacity to provides room for 23,000 fans, as happened in 2007 when Cotto made a second defense of his then-welterweight title against Zab Judah. It was further stated that the offer of Top Rank surpassed the offer by the CEO of GBP, Richard Schaefer. Cotto could receive a guaranteed purse of $15 million without counting his participation in the sales of 'pay-per-view' which could make those numbers double, something he can't get with Alvarez, coming off a loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in what was his first fight on PPV. The final announcement of Cotto and his team could occur next week. Seems to be good to be true, but Carlos Narváez is usually a reliable Puerto Rican writer.
