    Miuel Cotto: "I have no problem vacating the title"

    The Puerto Rican is preparing to meet in Las Vegas Nevada on November 14

    Caguas, Puerto Rico .- The Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto said that next Monday will start his training for his fight with the filipino Manny Pacquiao on November 14 at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) .

    Cotto, Welter Champion of the World Boxing Council (OMB), explained that its preparation will begin with morning runs and then be between two and three days a week at his gym in the neighborhood Bairoa in Caguas, a city adjacent to San Juan.

    The scuffle is expected to be held at 145 pounds (66 kilos).

    The Puerto Rican, however, indicated that you do not mind if the directors of OMB withdrew the championship because they will fight in another weight that is not the Welt (147 pounds - 67 kilos).

    "I have no problem vacating the title. The title is second fidle to me now. If there is a problem with handing the title, we will vacate it. Then other opportunities will open to get it back," he said.

    Cotto and Pacquiao made in the coming months on a tour to promote his fight for the cities of Los Angeles, New York and San Juan.

    Cotto, on the other hand, was launched today with new designs of T-shirts' Fearless' (No Fear), which will begin selling in October under the Ecko company, led by Effy Zinkin.

    The boxer admitted that the clothing is more "developed" as that first launched in February 2008, when it sold 5 thousand shirts, so that since October, will go on sale about 20 mil.

    "We will have four new designs that are novel and liked by all customers. Without fear we accept the challenges with courage and will continue," said Cotto.

    Zinkin, meanwhile, acknowledged that although he has worked with many major artists, there is a personality with "more proud" that Cotto.

    "Miguel is planning a fearless person. Outside of the ring represent their country with dignity and style. It is an inspiration and a model to follow," he said.

    Also, the general manager of Ecko MMA, Eric Samson, Cotto described as "the boxer who gives more excitement in boxing," because "no rejects fights, but accepts that fights the fans like."

    "Puerto Rico is a country with a culture of warriors. Fearless is what exactly is Michael. There is nothing to what he will issue," he said.

    Several Puerto Rican athletes like NBA players Jose Juan Barea, the boxing world champions Ivan Calderon and Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez, the Pan-American gymnastics champion Luis Felipe 'Tingui' Vargas and Asuncion Ocasio taekwondo competitor, will be among representatives of the brand.

    CAGUAS, PUERTO RICO.- El boxeador puertorriqueño Miguel Cotto dijo hoy que el próximo lunes comenzará sus entrenamientos para su pelea ante el filipino Manny Pacquiao, el 14 de noviembre, en el hotel MGM Grand de Las Vegas, Nevada (EE.UU.).

    Cotto, campeón welter de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB), explicó que iniciará su preparación con carreras matutinas y luego estará entre dos y tres días a la semana en su gimnasio en el Barrio Bairoa en Caguas, ciudad colindante a San Juan.

    La reyerta está pautada para celebrarse en las 145 libras (66 kilos).

    El boricua, no obstante, indicó que no le importa si los directivos de la OMB le retiran su campeonato debido a que peleará en otro peso que no es el welter (147 libras - 67 kilos).

    "No tengo ningún problema en entregar el título. Ya el título pasa a un segundo plano. Si hay problema con entregar el título, lo entregamos. Luego, se abrirán otras oportunidades para conseguirlo", sostuvo.

    Cotto y Pacquiao realizarán en los próximos meses una gira de promoción de su pelea por las ciudades de Los Ángeles, Nueva York y San Juan.

    Cotto, de otra parte, fue presentado hoy con nuevos diseños de camisetas 'Fearless' (Sin miedo), que se comenzarán a vender en octubre próximo bajo la compañía Ecko, presidida por Effy Zinkin.

    El púgil reconoció que la indumentaria se ve más "elaborada" que la que lanzaron por primera vez en febrero de 2008, cuando vendieron 5 mil camisetas, por lo que desde octubre, se pondrán a la venta unas 20 mil.

    "Tendremos cuatro nuevos diseños muy novedosos y que serán del agrado de todos los clientes. Sin miedo aceptamos los retos y con valentía seguiremos", indicó Cotto.

    Zinkin, por su parte, reconoció que aunque ha trabajado con muchos artistas importantes, no hay una personalidad con "más orgullo" que Cotto.

    "Miguel proyecta una persona sin miedo. Fuera del ring representa a su país con dignidad y estilo. Es una inspiración y un modelo a seguir", expresó.

    Asimismo, el gerente general de Ecko MMA, Eric Samson, describió a Cotto como "el boxeador que más entusiasmo da en el boxeo" porque "no rechaza peleas, sino que acepta las peleas que a los fanáticos les gusta".

    "Puerto Rico es un país con una mentalidad de guerreros. Fearless es lo que es exactamente Miguel. No hay nada a lo que él le tema", puntualizó.

    Varios deportistas puertorriqueños como el jugador de la NBA José Juan Barea, los campeones mundiales de boxeo Iván Calderón y Juan Manuel 'Juanma' López, el campeón panamericano de gimnasia Luis Felipe 'Tingui' Vargas y la competidora de taekwondo Asunción Ocasio, serán algunos de los representantes de la marca.

      Cotto should do it.

      After he beats Pacquiao he can face Mosley for the Ring title so vacanting the WBO is not a big deal.
