overthinking it??? What fighter in the last 30 years of the sport has gotten 15mil not fighting oscar delahoya and not being the bigger draw in the fight. If you ask me Cotto's negotiating team got a goodass deal with that.Comment

You don't understand promotion do you? You think Cotto's people are ******? Or that they could have gotten a bigger split because you don't think Manny is the bigger draw?
It doesn't matter what kind of a draw DLH was and that Manny will never be him. In promotion what matter is who is the bigger draw in THAT fight and there's no doubt it's Manny.
Cotto can't generate much by himself, meaning he can't just fight the avg guy and get huge numbers like DLH or Tyson. He needs a guy who people want to see him fight. Manny on the other hand, has a handfull of fights that will generate money, so Cotto is just one of many options.
The split was fair because when you look at it, it's probably the same amount of money Cotto would make if he was to fight some other fighter with less draw.
Same reason Mosley is calling for Manny, he's the ticket right now. In time the mega fight will be Mayweather and Manny if everything goes to plan.
Did you know who Micheal Jennings was before Cotto fought him?
I don't think the average fan did and Cotto sold 12k+ tickets in MSG for the fight. Cotto has a fanbase. strong at that.Comment

I actually do have a problem with this 65-35 split.
It overvalues Packy (he's no oscar or tyson) and undervalues Miguel.
I've read comments from some Packy fans that sound very Mayweather-esque by saying "what does Cotto bring to the table"...
A whole island of devoted fans. Just like Packy.
Cotto's team obviously got Shanghaied by the dynamic duo of sleaze in Gacal and Arum.
They should have played hardball like Hatton did and bridged the gap. Packy was using Mosley as leverage but we all know that fight was never gonna happen. And he wasn't going to fight anyone at 40' either.
Cotto should have called their bluff and held out for a 55-45 split.
Lack of self respect on Team Cotto's part. On top of it all Cotto will have to come in at a catch weight....
Its ok though, Cotto will extract his pound of flesh from Packy in the ring.
Justice will prevail.
miguel needs to pay his last HIGHPRICE
THOSE who have been following the game... means that those have been watching miguel cotto....
cotto have been gaining boxing fans respct step by step....
even that right now hes being label as a shot fighter.
that he lose with clottey shane margie... etc etc
that he eat a lot of punches....
ppl are starting to recognize.....
pac should come up the winner.
That is how it looks on the paper......
and it can really happen like that because manny pacquiao... have been growing as a fighter steb by steb... much in a quicker way than cotto... but the same way.... ppl stop deniying pacquiao and they start realizing hey.. this man is for real....
right now p4p...... #1 handsdown...

he hasnt been playing around in his career..... the guy have been stepping up in competition in each fight.. and this one is not the exception.
Expect a great fight... cotto will have to pay a highprice in order to conquer the SPOT.
If he beats manny, for the rest of his career.. he will be looking for the big share always.Comment

IDK what the problem is. Cotto was offered more money the lower in weight he went, HE HIMSELF said **** the money I'm not fighting below a weight will I look bad and have a higher chance of losing. Lets say Cotto wins this fight, he'll be the big name in boxing and make up the 4 or 5 million he didn't get this time. Either way it doesn't really matter, Mayweather is getting 15 mil for the Marquez fight and he's getting the bigger %, Cotto got a great deal as is.Comment

I don't take criticism from simpletons.
Manny had no other options either. Floyd and JMM are busy. He wasn't gonna fight anyone at 40'. And he wouldn't have made anywhere near the money w/ Mosley nor would he actually fight Mosley.
And if you could read I acknowledge he should get more.
55-45 is the correct split.
65-35 shows a flagrant disrespect of Cotto.
who cares about the money split. your not getting any of it?Comment
