The first wave of major success hit Team Cotto and it seems like there have been a few overt changes in the attitude of the fighter, the feelings of the trainer, and their relationship with their promotional company. Money and success changes people and situations.

This is a regretful matchup with Margarito. Instead of asking for more money and haggling over the danger and details why not just do something else? Shane Mosley could be available for a rematch and it would be more money and less danger. Theoritically.

Margarito is not a bigger money fight - but Top Rank is willing to throw more money to get people in the ring with him. Why?

They offered huge, massive, gigantic money to get Mayweather and/or Mosley in the ring with Antonio Margarito - now they're offering Cotto big money to fight him.

Top Rank knows/believes that Margarito is an ethnic franchise waiting to happen. All he needs is that signature victory, and they are willing to throw a few extra million dollars at a potential big name opponent to get them on the chopping block. They'll make it all back in the long term. Chess.

Did the 8 million dollar offer for Mayweather/Mosley vs. Margarito make any sense at the time? No, not unless you understand chess. Top Rank aims to see Cotto fall. It's a setup.

So you mean to tell me that TOP RANK has spent all of its time and money on Cotto for nothing?

They have been bringing cotto along since the beginning and you think its just to set it all up for a win vs margo.

TOP RANK is just giving us a fight we want to see. Instead of bitching about it just enjoy it.May the best man win.
