cotto vs chavez fight

wow its funny how people think chavez jr is guna beat cotto.. really ? are you out ur mind....

chavez has no KO power

chavez is not in the same level as cotto

chavez does not have the star resume that cotto has

If this fights happens cotto will finish chavez by the 8th or 9th. easily

[STEELHEAD]

Wow... why people think this is a bad deal for Cotto is beyond me. Chavez is a bum, he is not beating Cotto EVER. However, the guy brings massive amounts of money and name recognition which is all Cotto needs at this point. Yea, he can go fight guys who are better fighters like Spinks, Angulo, Martinez etc... but as Bob said there is NO money in those guys. I'm sorry, but when is the last time any of the three guys I mentioned, or ANYONE other than Cotto at 154 put 15k+ in the seats and/or headline their own PPV? None of them, Chavez however already has in Mexico. If people are willing to pay to watch him fight a tomato can even more will pay to see him face a Puerto Rican.

The rivalry alone is enough to sell the fight, but you can also milk Chavez name, his looks, his record and all the Mexican fans for money. Cotto is going to bring his fans, his already a proven draw. IDC what you want to say bout his skill, heart or anything else but you can't deny the guy is a cash cow. Not to mention, as I already stated Cotto isn't going to lose this fight, its simply another tune-up for Cotto, WITH STEWARD, until his next big fight whether it be Manny or Margarito because we all know that is what is coming next. I mean really, who else is there for Cotto to get into the ring with that brings money AND risk? Yea, he can face Angulo, Martinez, Williams now and I'm sure HBO would take the fights, however, Cotto isn't seeing anything above a couple of million with those guys and I can promise you he'll be making at least 4 million to face Chavez. If this fight goes on PPV it'll be hitting close to $10 million with PPV buys. Margarito/Cotto was a smaller fight than this one, at least when it comes to name value (Cotto hadn't faced Manny mainly) and it did 500k. I see this fight doing AT LEAST that much if not more, easy fight, easy payday and a great job by Top Rank.

The opponent for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has been switched again. Carlos Nascimento of Brazil is out, and Pawel Wolak of New Jersey is back in. Wolak was the orginal choice to face Chavez in a twelve round middleweight bout on September 11 in Mexico. The fight fell through when the two sides could not agree on the money. Wolak wanted $90,000 for the bout and Top Rank was only offering $75,000 max. [Click Here To Read More]

No Bob it depends on how much you earn. Berto is better opponent for Cotto

One of the absolute truths in boxing right now is that Arum really does keep it in-house.EXCEPT for juanma/Marquez

There , I fixed it for u,

[csko-2k1]

wouldn't it just be great if mayweather said"i'll fight Cotto next"..

[Mikhnienko]

Why is everyone acting like Chavez beating Wolak is a given? Wolak is no pushover, guy is talented and tough.
