Miguel Cotto/Golden Boy Conspiracy Theories Begin

Perhaps, Cotto is exploring the possibility to jump ship after his defeat from Pacman. He is anticipating that Bob Arum will leave him in dry land.

Yo soy Boricua pa que to lo sepa but my boy Cotto is gonna be in some serious trouble Nov 14th. I really hoped he wouldnt take this fight but he did.

Papi tu puedes ser un austronauta del espacio y no cambia ná we'll speak nov.15.

It would be a cheap move for Cotto to jump over to GBP. Arum has treated him very well and got him some fantastic fights along with great paydays.

GBP seems rather chaotic and in disarray right now. They have been insulting Cotto publicly also. I mean just the other day DLH said that Arum picked Cotto as an opponent over Mosley because Cotto is easy pickings for Manny. What the hell?

If cotto beats PAC guess who the only company that can get him the biggest $ fight, yep gbp with pbf arum & floyd don't wanna work 2gether & trust me if cotto beats PAC that's the only person he's gonna be looking 4 to fight next

For those that say that Arum won't make Pacman-Cotto unless Cotto's resigns with Top Rank I say that they might have a valid point but consider that Cotto's contract ends this year and if he feels that he is being bullied and knowing that Cotto is kind of a proud guy he could probably choose to stand down this year and take whatever offer is out there for him (not saying is the right move).

If this happens not only Cotto losses his big shot but Arum losses a lot of money for the end of this year also. This fight will bring lots of money to Arum and it's probably Arum's final chance to cash in on Cotto and convince him to resing (without putting it as a condition). Only Mosley-Pacman can generate the revenue that Cotto-Pacman would (Maywether is not available until next year)but then Arum will have to co-promote with GBP therefore split the money. Arum is not ****** and I don't think that Pacman-Cotto will be conditioned to Cotto resigning with Top Ranks, but it is a good observation.

cotto does'nt really need the paquiao fight. he can rest and take on the marquez - mayweather winner in december or early spring.

I beleive Cotto won't make any decision on who he will sign with, until after the Pacman fight for several reasons.

The first and most obvious reason is that if he wins his signature will have doubled his value ($). (this is a risk because if he losses his value will be alot less)

If Cotto wins he would be probably signing wit GBP if they can guarantee a fight with PBF (if he beats JMM), which will Cotto's biggest payuday, and after that fight win or lose he will still have Mosley as his second fight. I agree with those that say here that it would be easier for Cotto to fight PBF with GBP than with Top Ranks. PBF has publically (ESPN)said that Cotto will have to deal directly with him if he wants the fight. Wether it was an excuse or not from PBF, to not fight Cotto (PBF knew that Cotto cant negociate his own fight because he was signed by Top Ranks) the fact is that Arum and PBF hate each other. The only problem for GBP with this is that they will probably have Mosley really upset, because he will be demanding to fight PBF also.

If Cotto losses to Pacman, PBF will be out of the picture for Cotto and he will probably need to go to his plan B which will be Margarito when, and if, he is reinstated in February and this plan B will be easier if he resigns with Top Ranks which can also have a Clottey-Cotto II or even a Mosely rematch because Mosley is desperate right now to fight anybody doesn't matter who's the boxer's promoter.

These are going to be some very interesting months for Cotto's career and if we wins the upcoming fight he will be ranked up there with the best superstars while making lots of money but if he losses...........

A lot of talk, nonsense comments. Wait until the end of the year and you will see what happen. By the way, Cotto will destroy Pacman in 6 rounds, for those people that believe Pacman will win you are dreaming, Cotto is not Hatton, De la Hoya and Diaz.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

aside from millie, that shows oscar's undying love for cotto.

if cotto wins over pac, a scenario which is next to impossible, expect cotto to stick it out with bob. if he lose, which is likely the scenario, he will find himself with no promoter, i mean no bob or gbp.

but given that he will lose, oscar will reach out to him because of his undying love and admiration for the man. that's what transpired in the green.

Wow clap clap clap u are a ****ing idiot. They must not let u talk in ur house LOL

Damn stop arguing with a 12 year old kid.

Damn stop arguing with a 12 year old kid.

Cotto is just exploring his options. yes his contract ends and if he can make more money with GPB why not?? I feel he just wants to see what the other side of the fence can give that Arum cannot

Dollars makes sense and Cotto is a great fighter no matter where he goes any promotional company has a solid fighter to bank on.

He is a cash cow so I say let the biddings begin. I have a feeling he will stay with Top Rank though
