    Steward Training Cotto Is A Done Deal

    The hiring of Emanuel Steward by the three-time champion Miguel Cotto is already a fact and Murray Wilson, manager of the 154-pound king of the WBA, Yuri Foreman is aware that the offer made to him was a very tempting so his pupil will be without the advice of the HBO analyst also highlighted.



    Yesterday, Wilson told the cyberpage Boxingscene that a month ago was under the impression that it had reached an agreement with Stewart but not now.



    Foreman and Cotto will meet on June 5 at Yankee Stadium and the official announcement of the hiring of Stewart will be announced on or before Tampa or New York.



    Cotto leaves for Tampa on April 3 where will the bulk of their training and not returning to the island until June 6. Cotto will join Stewart in Tampa.



    Wilson hoped to have hired Steward for two or three weeks in an advisory or consultative role and the goal was to use their knowledge to increase the offensive skills of Foreman.



    But Cotto's offer to work as a head coach to Stewart with assistant Joe Santiago caught the ear of Wilson, who spoke Tuesday with famed coach.



    And it seems that Wilson and Steward will be accepted with Cotto because the coach will not only be the 'chief but also allegedly receive a percentage of the millonaire purse. Foreman's group offered Steward only a fixed payment for their services.
    Foreman is trained by Joe Grier, whom Wilson cataloged as one of the best.

    Interesting.

    Now here's a question Champ....I don't know if it's the google translator thing that ****ed it up, but I just read Steward would get a % of Cotto's Million dollar purse? Cotto is only making a million for this fight? That cannot be right.

      All trainers get a percentage of their fighter's purse.

      Anyways do you all remember DLH saying the only thing Manny Steward taught him was how to shoot a basketball?

            Thats the google translator. Cotto doesnt get paid, less than 3 mills per fight!

                  that's funny as ****.

                  maybe guys who are heavy with the front foot like ODLH and Cotto are not a good match with Steward.

                  cotto should fight southpaw and not load up on every shot; use his boxing acumen more.

                    It might help Cotto if he wants to further his career but it might be to late. Wait and see
