Comments Thread For: Arum: Cotto vs Berto Tough To Make, Andre is Overpaid

[KingOfBox]

Funny for the promoter of Margarito to say ANYONE is overpaid.

So One million is too much for Berto, but 5 million is fine of a titleless cheater?
Snob Arum is full of sheat with his double standards, double dipping habits.
Bottom line is that He's unable to negotiate with other promoters and hates the idea of spliting promoting moneys.
When was the last time He succesfully negotiated with another promoter??
Like a good lawyer HE presents his case, but like a lawyer you have to follow what He does. I'm tired of hearing his BS; Come down from your Super Promoter pedestal and talk to the little people Snob!

Let me give you some dumb ass economics 101...Ready sit down and listen ****** class is in session:

You get paid what you are worth and what you generate.

Margarito...Huge fan base! In America and Mexico. Can sell out arenas. Holds record for attendance at home depot center and Staples center....yes more people went to see margarito vs mosley than people go for laker games. Margarito and pac will fight in front of 80k people in a few weeks and ppv will be huge.

Berto...Can't even sell out a small outside venue



Do the math idiot.




Class over.

I disagree Boxer.
Margarito puts people on seats? I think HE lost most of his people on the Mosley fight. How many people do you think He's bringing to Cowboy Stadium?
Mexico is not behind the cheater and his fanbase is a fraction what it was before HE was cought with dirty hands.
Most of my friends from Mexico distance themselves from the cheater and the ones who are still there are in denial.
Pacquaio is the man and the draw and Margarito is just riding Manny wagon.
How many people did HE draw in his own house Tijuana?
Those were his last numbers and they are nothing to brag about.

Bob Arum over paid and gave his favorite a big and undeserving fight in most people's oppinion.

are you ******? Cowboys stadium will be 80-20 in favor of margarito! You must have missed margaritos last fight in mexico. Check the ticket sales to that fight and report back to us. You get an F in this topic get the hell outta here troll.

It's because berto has Haymon in his corner.

If Saul signed Al Haymon as an adviser he'd be getting the same deals if not better.

Can't blame a guy for cashing in before taking bigger riskier fights.

yeah sure cant but you can blame him for the fight not happening!

Berto has some potential, he should just take the pay cut and fight a high class opponent already. Step it up Berto! Stop messing around with nobodies.

[puga]

bob is right again, berto is overpaid for such a crappy fighter!

WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto is set to return on November 27 against Mexico's Freddy Hernandez at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. If successful, Berto has mentioned a number of desired opponents for 2011. One of the opponents at the top of Berto's list is WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto.

Berto, exciting or not, is a very skilled boxer and that's primarily the reason why Arum thinks Cotto-Berto won't happen. Cotto is not the same boxer 2 years ago and Arum can't keep on having Cotto getting his ass handed to him without Cotto smelling something fishy.
