    Why Is The Promotion Of Cotto-Foreman So Focused On Foreman?

    It seems is all about him and his story. Why?

    IDK. I find it kind of funny though.

    I can't think of a fighter Foreman beat better than that out-of-shape Santos he fought that night.

    The fighters Cotto has fought compared to Foreman's theres a huge gap there.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto one-sided his ass. Foreman hasn't fought anybody of notice and plus his low-Ko rate should explain it all...

      1.Because Cotto is already well-known and Foreman isn't
      2.Because Bob Arum loves Yuri and Cotto is just another one of his fighters

        Because Foreman is Arum's new baby, He needs cotto's big name to help him push through and since they have a lot of ***s community they need to focus on that market. Cotto's career is coming to an end with Arum and i blame Cotto and his team for that.

            Its because Foreman is Arums favorite Top Rank fighter. I tried to tell people this was a set up and that Arum is using Cotto as a stepping stone.

              weve heard about cotto before, not so much Foreman.

              plus overall Foreman's story is probably more interesting.

              Im picking Foreman to win, but only really on a gamble that he is going to have improved due to the importance of this fight. Any version of Foreman Ive seen so far probably wouldnt win against Cotto, so Im trusting on him 'leveling up' before this fight.

                  Here's your answer;

                  "Boxing promoter Bob Arum is a Harvard-educated lawyer of ***ish descent"

                  End of story.

                    bob arum really wants to make foreman a super star because there both ***s...and he sees cotto on his way out after 2 bad beatings....problem is foreman has no punching power...so even if he wins he wont be famous....
