What kind of bum-ass bootleg presser is this shyt lol???? Shyt took place like in a food court lol. And where's the press???? Don't spot ONE decent camera lol. It's full of like 7th graders reporting for their school paper and a bunch of old bum looking drunks lol. Even got one dead sleeping in the front row lolol. What a joke. There's like 13 people in attendance. I can gather more ppl at my local bar than this in an hour. Straight-up pathetic. That duck gets NO LOVE!
I agree everyone who actually met Cotto dont like the person. He like a serious douche bag in real life. Past trainers, friends etc never have anything nice to say about him only people that do are the people who are making money off him atm.
I met him here in NY and I've got to agree he's an a$$hole. Very condescending attitude.
What is he like? I keep hearing this but he seems like a nice bloke to me.
The presser was for young up and coming fighters that nobody has ever heard of. Would you expect a big crowd and large number of journalists for prospects that have no name yet?
I guess a lot of the haters in here have never been to, or seen a local show? The pressers before those events are usually just the participants, and maybe a local journalist, but most of the time there is no real coverage.
You guys act like Cotto was announcing his next fight, and this was the turn out. Damn, the hate some of you kids reach to has no bounds!
Maybe the underwhelming response is due to a lot of fighters trying to promote, instead of fighting. Talk about too many chiefs and not enough indians!
It seems to be the way boxers are going, but they should focus one or the other, not both. Focusing on too many big plans just dilutes your drive and can result in mediocrity in all of them.
Do it properly and give ambitious young fighters a fair shot at recognition.
because its not the first time hes done that... Its really not that hard. Arum's comments, or cotto's managers comments... who to believe? I dont really see a struggle in that question to come up with a logical answer
He lies all the time you're right, but he does it to benefit from the lie. How does this "lie" benefit him or Cotto?
That stone cold ETHER :boxing:
But yeah, I think for the most part his fans are old washed up dudes much like Cotto himself. I don't necessarily think they're all Puerto Rican either. He's just like some sort of quiet, mysterious-underdog figure to them I think. These are the guys who really liked Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. It's more about them actually not having father figures and male role models growing up and I'm sure most of them watched WWE well into their 30's. They probably try to live vicariously through him and can't even fathom that he's a middle weight champion. Just look at some of the Avi's and sigs around here. I mean, why else would they cheer him so hard and fault him for nothing? He HAS to be their father figure.
I really doubt it's simply because he's PR. I mean they're not related so it would be just because he's from the same part of the planet that they're from? Really?? That would be really ignorant and like a step backwards in our basic understanding of human biology/history/diversity. I sincerely hope it's not the case to be honest. If it is I pity them.
It may very well be that they're just simple minded flag waving patriots though. It's sad and scary if that's the case. They would really need to open a book at that point and understand that they are the last modern day colonized people in the western hemisphere. They still haven't gotten free either. That place is a conquered, welfare ridden-common wealth state and the US is holding on to it because they want to and know they won't to do anything about it. Worst part is they have no say in US politics. It sucks all around and I hope they find the strength to get free. They need to use those razors for something else other than their eyebrows man. Cotto is a good fighter but he's not your daddy. Get off of Boxingscene and shove that flag in Tio Sam's eye! :boxing:
wooooooooooooooowwwww lmao :haha:

Well Cotto's manager has no choice but to protect Cotto's image. That's his job.
While Arum is no saint, I just cant muster a motive for him to create such an elaborate lie and ruin future paydays with Cotto if it weren't true.
So you'd rather take the word of a guy who Cotto sleeps half naked in a bed with?
Again...What would be Arums motive to lie about what he says Cotto told him if Arum was promoting Cotto and stood to make a few mil off of this bout? Why would Arum burn a bridge by "lying" and ruin future paydays with Cotto?

It is not assuming... Who was the one that said about "cotto being hurt" as ya put it? Wasn't it mr yesterday I was lying today im telling the truth bob arum??? Sorry if I dont take his word for it. Also, cottos manager/adviser spoke on the matter as well and stated that they were getting ready to get back to him on tuesday, when he suddenly just walked away from negotiations. Thats not made up and they are not opinions as well. Those are facts. Deal with it :bottle:

So Arum is lying about what a fighter who he was promoting and set to make millions off of told him?..... WHY? How does this benefit Arum?
Tell that to the guy who was negotiating on behalf of Cotto.
"According to Miguel, Canelo offended him by sending letters to PR newspapers calling him out and you don't do that with Miguel".
Canelo left the table when Cotto stopped talking because his feeling were hurt.

So he pulls out of a possible $15mil fight with Canelo so that he can have a presser in the back of a Denny's?
guys why do people keep saying he pulled out when canelo is the one that left the table
Looks like the people in Puerto Rico do not support a ducking coward. Good for them.
wait now the guy who will literally fight anyone is a coward as well good lord
