    1) Figueroa didn't take it seriously and got his ass kicked so badly that Arum didn't want Cotto to have such a **** sparring partner.

    2)Figueroa was emulating Pacquiao's style so well that Arum didn't want to see Cotto having a Pacquiao clone for sparring pârtner.

        Arum is paying for the training facility,traveling, and everything else involved. Dude can do whatever he wants.

              Please don't quote untruths as fact. Even if Arum is footing the bill, all training expenses will be deducted from Cotto's purse. A fighter with money like Cotto's, assuming he has been good with his riches, usually pays for his own camp in order to maximize budget. When the promoter pays for the camp, they usually don't barter for deals like they would if it was their own moolah.

                Roach said there was no way castillo was going to be sparring with Pacquiao because he was shot and was not going to help Pacquiao get ready.

                Look what happen! They got Castillo as a sparring partner anyway!!!!

                Roach seems to have no power there. Maybe that is why he always talk ****** **** to media. The media makes him feel important.

                  What I don't like is that they are being shady about why he's getting sent home. When Figueroa was pressed for answers, he laughed and said "good luck Cotto."

                  That scares the **** outta me. Although I literally refuse to believe that he was giving Cotto any problems.
                  you should be scared.....regardless of whether this guy gave cotto problems sparring or not....
