My dad and two friends keep asking me if I wanna buy the fight. They tell me they've seen a commercial advertising it as ppv.
I keep telling them it's on regular HBO, but I've heard it so often now from different sources that I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled the same **** move he did for the Trout fight; charging ppv in PR and everywhere else on regular SHO.
So what's the deal?
Yep. Sounds like some urban legend shyt.
Not even, it's just a complete lie from that idiot. The only dirt on cotto is his issues with people from caguas. That's it.
Haha total bullsh1t. I'm no cotto apologist but, this is pure lies. Cotto is a private man he would not expose himself like that.
Yep. Sounds like some urban legend shyt.
When he arrives at the airport, no one bothers to receive him. When Tito fought, the entire island stopped and did parades for him lol. I saw Kneeguel at a Walgreens here and he walked in and out like a regular Joe, no one cared.
This is gossip but some of my friends saw Kneeguel back in 2009-2010 doing cocaine in San Juan. Like his nose was covered with white stuff and he was out of his mind. He has been in trouble with the ganglords over here for being a little too touchy with their women when is is high/drunk. One of the gang lords slapped him and punked him in public once and thats a fact, came out in the newspapers.

I second that. Come fight night, I'm still going to instinctively root for Cotto, but you're not the only ones who've mentioned this before.
My spouse works in the medical field in PR and knows he's been in and out of clinics for some drug use before.
Sheeit son Cotto is a dope head now? Dang.
If Cotto does get a % would it be ****ed up to you?
If its Direct TV & Dish who choose to charge them how is that Cotto's fault?
Now, if it's Cotto's choice then yea.

That IDK. I only know that Direct TV & Dish from PR charge. They even charged them for Martinez-Salido & they fought in PR.

Maybe I'm missing something, I've had liberty cable (which changes name every couple of years) for most of my life, and regular hbo/sho events are free(ish) (you obviously pay for hbo/sho subscription).
I spent most of 2014 with dish, however, and never did I have to pay extra for non-ppv events, just the usual subscription.
The only time they've ever charged to watch a non-ppv event (essentialy turning into ppv) was Cotto vs Trout, on Cotto's request.
I remember it was pretty controversial, people were pissed. And regardless of some posters trying to make it seem like we kiss Cotto's ass regardless of what he does, people here on the island turned on him pretty quickly. I know a few even celebrated him losing that fight.
Yea I'm not denying that.
Does Cotto get a % yes or no?

No different than here in Quebec. ANY fight on HBO or SHOWTIME from Montreal or Quebec City will be PPV in Quebec and the HBO Canada feed will feature something else. This may actually extend right across Canada, I am not certain. I only know that in Quebec, it is always like this. This is due to our cable providers wanting to squeeze every last buck out of us.
That's pretty low, but it's different than what I thought was happening here/happened back in 2012.
Charging PR for Cotto vs Trout was all Cotto's request, the cable network just complied. It's almost expected that big companies will try to nickel and dime you to death, but there's this perception that boxers fight for their country/people. In a sense, Cotto was backstabbing his supporters.
Nope. Direct TV or Dish charges them

So cotto is basically selling PPV to his own people and let the americans get it for free.
That did happen in one occasion. that is not the case tonight though!
PPV model is so outdated. Just show the fights and stop trying to squeeze the pockets of hard working boxing fans.
My cousins in PR hang out in the bar Cotto usually frequents and they told me is a hard nose drunk. Parties hard and gets a bunch of chicks, he hates people when he's drinking and just wants to be left alone.
Actually, I think he does. I kinda recall we talked about the Garcia/Herrera weigh in. Told me something about Juanma walking in with his fine girl.
So, is he Puertorrican then?
Now Golovkin lives in Puerto Rico? LMAO!
