    I believe he could've made floyd cotto back in the day. he could've given floyd the $8 mil he wanted. If miguel won or even looked good he'd be making bettr money now.
    What are you talking about? Everybody wanted to see that fight. How quickly people forget that the Cotto stans were the loudest on here in the build up to Margarito-Cotto. Now Cotto got served to the wolves?

    And what does that mean, that Arum knew Margarito was not legit?

      How would Arum know that Margarito wasn't legit(if he really used plaster against Cotto, which no facts or proof that it has happen)?

      Floyd wanted 10mil not 8. And, 10 mil at the time probably looked as possible since Floyd was barely breaking 400k PPV buys. What money would Cotto have gotten if Floyd is getting the majority.

      Arum did right by Cotto. He did, he got him the big fights, he made him a millionaire, made him a name and promoted him right. Nobody forced Cotto fight fight at a damn catch-weight.
