miguel angel cotto

[- v e t -]

is the perfect fighter for WCB cards on HBO at the moment....

he deserves much better than doing Boxing After Dark, especially now that he is probably one of the biggest names holding a belt at 154..

BUT, he's at that point in his career where there's still a lot of lingering questions and we dont know how his stamina is or what kind of punishment he can take, so i DO NOT want to see him headlining PPV cards.

HBO has long been in love with him, he can make a decent amount of money doing WCB cards for them... please please please dont price yourself too high so that you're stuck doing only PPV...

this is the kind of guy HBO could put on a main event and have a prospect or two fight on the undercard. he'll draw a decent gate in the right locations....

IMO he still has a few good fights in him, im curious to see him against someone with a little more pop on their punches or a little more pressure but this win was good for him... it keeps him from falling too far from grace..

he has always fought on hbo around this time of the year and was the last time you saw lampley do hbo boxing after dark and 22,000+ there last night and lets just say, they werent there for foreman

it is what it is. got KOd badly fight before last, took a chance moving up and gave us an idea what he would be like at 154. IMO he still got a lot of work to do with Emanuel but can't deny that I saw some improvements. I think his stamina will be better at this weight class, but still got some work to do.

Actually he had been making millions per fight ever since HBO started airing his fights. I am not sure what he made for last nights fight, but the smallest paycheck he received for years before it, PPV or not, was 4 million per fight. B.A.D would not be able to pay him enough. Not enough money gets budgeted to those fights. This was only a tiny transition for him. He will move back to WCB after this.

He is still very marketable with tons of fans. He will keep making big paydays. If you have fans, you will make money. With Stewart's help he just may become very formidable again as well. Another win and he is back on PPV for sure.

Cotto is ok but Arum will always try to get him on PPV's anymore.


I think last night was an anomaly.

[Hallaqsillaq]

He's got maybe 3-4 fights left I think. Taking on so many ****ers takes its toll. He'll have to change his style a bit, work on the defence, and be a calm, collected, composed guy that breaks you down slowly.

Problem is the 154 lb's out there are agressive mofo's.

i'd like to see a pac-cotto rematch @ 142 lbs.
