    How is Cotto vs Berto not easy to make?

    This is a fight us fans really want to see. have it at 147, where Cotto belongs IMO, for the WBC belt, a title Cotto has never won. Have it 60-40 in Cottos favor, and give us fans a good fight for once. Top Rank is starting to really annoy me.

      Berto isn't Mayweather. Haymon knows Cotto is a bigger star, so negotiating shouldn't and wouldn't be a big issue as far as purse splits are concerned. Plus, Haymon is an adviser, he's not Berto's promoter. Dibella and Arum have a good working relationship.

      With that being said, I'd much rather see Cotto vs Berto than Cotto vs Vanes.

          I can see money being an issue considering how overpaid Berto is and how much Cotto would want/deserve.

          But I agree, it shouldn't be that hard to make. Arum is just a beady eyed thief. He is a liar and a swindler.

            A 60-40 purse with the majority of the PPV revenue going to Cotto would be okay. Howver if he asks for 50-50 like he did against Mosley after he fought Floyd then he is kidding himself man.

                  You have to be realistic. I doubt they would accept a penny less. They tried to get 50-50 with Mosley ffs.

                    But HBO paid him $3 mil to step aside the mosley fight. Berto is sitting on some cash and does not have to take less if he chooses. HBO did that to themselves.
