Miguel Cotto Extends Top Rank Deal For Two Years

[JM1]

Arum is a smart man. Now I just wonder if we get the Cotto-Marg rematch next yr.

nah, that will be just a payday for margo. tony doesnt deserve to box anymore. he should try other sports

[Shattered Jaw]

Arum has always treated Cotto well and has gotten him top fights. Can Shane Mosley say the same for DLH? Hell Golden Boy is in so much disarray that Mosley has been out there trying to make fights himself.

Arum is shady, but don't think for a second that GBP isn't either. I will say that Arum has made more successful careers that Golden Boy could ever dream of.

I agree with most of this. Cotto was on the verge of superstardom against Margarito. It's a shame Margaracheato used those pads against Cotto as I think that night we could have seen a superstar born.

Ah well, at least we can again when Cotto beats the **** out of Pac.

dumb move by arum...how's he gonna fix miguel's image after he gets dismantled by a past his prime midget?

he's gonna feed him to marg again.

[Ray*]

I knew it, I knew cotto would have to extend his contract with Top rank just to get the pacman fight, Arum did the same with Margarito before he got the Cotto fight...

[-MAKAVELLI-]

he's gonna feed him to marg again.

a margarito with something to prove against whatever is left of cotto after manny? dude, arum's an *******

cotto can beat marg if he just fights the right way.

he fought dumb last time (as i expected.)

arum is smart.

cotto-marg 2 (and maybe a 3 if cotto can win) would be the biggest payday for those two.




arum is chillin' right now. pac is single handedly destroying golden boy , with him salivating over pac giving floyd his first L.

win lose or draw, he has a gimmick with cotto. pr parade at msg will make profit every year year. cotto is gatti esque when fighting the top guys so he will sell to his ppl. its an event on the itinerary pr parade weekend.

[GRUSTLER]

Bob Arum is a bad man! He executed his plan PERFECTLY.

I don't think it was just the (Alleged) pads that lost Cotto the fight
but it was his over all approach he took with Margarito. He just
fought the wrong fight. With that said, IF Cotto would have got
passed Margarito then yes, he would have been the P4P head honcho.

[Kenny Blankenship]

Some of you are morons...seriously.

This is the best move for Cotto.

This guarantees him two big fights...Pac now and Margarito 2 later.

Win or lose the Pac fight a 2nd tilt with Marg is a money maker because of all the controversy surrounding it.

Seeing as how all three fighters are Top Rank guys it also means the promoter and the fighters involved will maximize their potentail to make money out of these fights. There isn't a second promoter they have to share a piece of the pie with.

And why would Cotto want to go to GBP anyway? What good has it done Mosley? He's been on the shelf for what seems like years and they can't land him a big fight. And I don't want to hear Mayweathers name either...he ISN'T a GBP fighter. If he was GBP would have been able to make Mosley-Mayweather by now.

Mosley will be stuck fighting the Collazo's, Mayorga's and Berto's of the world. Fights that don't make him any money.

Cotto made the right move.
