I understand both sides. Arum is protecting his fighter and he would do the same for Cotto. But if I was Cotto, I would dump the greedy bastard.

Miguel Cotto may hold more than a grudge against his promoter, Top Rank, over their support of Antonio Margarito, who had his boxing license revoked on February 10 by the California State Athletic Commission. Margarito and trainer Javier Capetillo were sent packing by the CSAC over a foreign substance that was found in Margarito's hand wraps prior to the fight with Shane Mosley on January 24. [details]

The Margarito issue is what has finally pissed Cotto to the point of leaving Top Pank, but is not the main reason.

Since Cotto was so loyal to Arum, arum was trying to rip Cotto off. At first at the time of the Judah fight Arum wanted Cotto to get rid of Evangelista and to start training in Florida and Cotto told him to **** off. Then Arum tried to pay only 3 Mills to Cotto for the Mosley fight, wich is ridiculous, because thats the less Cotto can get paid by arum, wich is stipulated in his contract. And Cotto was the draw in that fight. And the Arum tried the same Bull**** for the Margarito fight. Thats why Miguel was late to sign the Contract. and then is supporting a proven cheater, so Cotto said enough i enough. Cotto never said anything, because he dont like controversies nor handle his bussiness in a disrespectfull matter. But Cotto and his team has been pissed since forever now!!!!!!!!

I heard after the jennings fight, they are Planing to buyout of his contract and sign with GBP, to co-promote his fights with his own promotional company!!!!!!!!

Agreed!

This would be the best move on Miguel Cotto's part.
What Arum is doing Margo is shady and I would want no part of a company like that either.

I think it's a good move from Cotto.

Arums snubs an envelope with a check for 6 figures out of his own pocket to Cotto so Cotto can stay with TR. Cotto accepts it. Exactly how Arum got Pac to agree to the Hatton debacle.
