    Arum (TOP RANK) is Clottey's, Cotto's, and Pac's promoter. Mayweather Promotions' is already crossbred money with Goldenboy promotions for his upcoming fights. Berto is an Al Haymon fighter and Al is know to whoop Arum ass at the negotiation table. Top rank hates Al haymon.

    Shane is taking the fight as an act of good faith on some 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine' in order to get the inside position on these big money fights.It puts a fading Top Rank star (Clottey) back in the limelight and potentially strengthens TR's leverage in future neg if he wins. Top Rank pretty much owns the JW/WW division if were talken big money fights. Shane's going where the money is, to get more money. POLY SCI

      cause cotto/mosley was a close fight where COTTO GOT THE DECISION IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! no one can decision cotto in his backyard.

      also, mosley smashed cotto's papi (margo)

        Most on this site doesn't realize that Cotto fought the wrong fight against Margo. Those are the hardcore fans. They will never admit that because they don't want to hear that Mosley fought the wrong fight against Cotto. I had Cotto winning 7-5. But he also stole a couple round with some late flurriers. The plaster thing help Cotto's career bigtime. I respect Cotto and love watching him. But in his 3 biggest fights he never showed me that performance that makes most be considered great. He fights A level opp way different than B level opp.

          its ok if cotto struggles against A lvl opposition... cotto stans just need to stop acting like cotto didn't struggle and that he's not vulnerable. a little humilty will get them more respect.

                  So Mosley KTFO of Margarito.....who nobody wanted a piece of.....and you are saying that he ducked Cotto (Cotto's plans were fighting Clottey and with Pac sitting ringside....Manny and Bob made the fight happen)....Berto just put on a very un-impressive performance against JrWW Urango....and the fight would've happened..but Berto believes he's worth more than $750K....I don't.
                  His main target was Pacquiao....but Pac had other plans....

                  The Cotto/ Clottey fight was a toss up, I personally wouldn't have been upset if Clottey got the nod...but he didn't do enough to win the middle rounds.

                    didn't you see what happened in houston? same thing w/ cotto and MSG. never fight cotto in MSG unless you plan to KTFO cotto.

                      The above can apply to any fighter that fights in their home town. Diaz anyone?
