Will NSB critize Cotto if he...

[Scott9945]

The only valid excuses at this point would be if Cotto could somehow line up a bigger money fight with Mayweather or DLH (not likely), or if he were to split with Bob Arum over a money issue.

Unless there is an injury (fall in the shower?), there is a 90-99% chance of this fight happening as planned.

gomez has exercised his rematch clause. this time it will be different.

Gomez is giving Ben Tackie a rematch?

There is the problem that Floyd and Oscar are whispering in his ear. He will need to split with Arum, but I think he should follow through with this

[TommyGunn.]

Yes because he has agreed to all the terms and accepted the fight.

Not sure why he's not signed yet though, maybe he's holding out for Floyd ????

I can very well imagine Arum getting impatient with Cotto right now.

I think in this game, there should be a maximum flat fee for any fighter in any big fight. Lets say something like 1 - 4 Million and their star power will generate more money for them via a variable percentage of the gate, depending on the magnitude of the fight..

That will make fights happen. Promoters will not be hesitant to put dream fights together as it will be a less risky financial endeavor for them and fighters cannot go all diva and overprice themselves.

This certainly depends on the circumstances of the situation which the threadstarter should have taken into consideration. There may be a bigger opportunity on the horizon for Cotto that we dont know about.

Of course though, if there is no such thing and he avoided this fight with nothing else already in mind. he should be scrutinized just like any other fighter.

Yes, big time!

It could be another opportunity in the horizan. Like fighting Mayorga instead of Margo and then with DLH in december.A fight with Mayorga would be easier, will get him more money and it could be as exiting as fighting Margarito. And after that, getting the big bucks by fighting DLH. And after that you got cotto vs Floyd with Oscar Promoting the fight. That, I think, will be an easier path to Floyd than figthing a more risky fight with Margo and stayng with Arum. But since I'm a fan, I prefer the Margo fight that is more important legacy wise than a Mayorga or a Oscar fight!

Cotto would be seen different. It wouldnt get him closer to mayweather ducking margarito and would make the phrase "most feared guy in welterweight" valid and true if cotto backs out of this fight. Everything is set i dont understand what is wrong with cotto. I had high hopes for this fight but im starting to get a bad feeling bout it maybe not happening because of cotto backing up or pricing himself out on purpose so he dont face margarito.
