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

[Pin Galarga]

cheater or no cheater margirito puts people in seats. you see berto last couple fights plenty of empty seats. lots of holding real snooze. and he would ask for about 5 mill to fight cotto. hes getting a mill or more from hernendez. thats whats arum is saying. im sure he gladly give berto a mill or 1.5. you telling me berto deserve mroe than judah?

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.

For once Bob Arum is dead on. Berto is another Jermaine Taylor. I commend Lou Dibella for his work of getting the most financially for his client and milking HBO but I see Berto's career playing out just like Jermaine Taylor's career. He may get past an old Mosley by the skin of his teeth (like Bhop v. Taylor) but once he fights a young hard-nosed puncher with B+ skills he will be exposed.

my friend, berto is no taylor.

taylor was and still is a warrior who goes out on his shield.

berto, not so much.

Manny is the draw no doubt,But margarito is getting a small piece of the
money.Which will be like 5 million.Who is the draw between cotto and berto?
I would think it would be cotto.Or do u think it berto should get 50 percent.
And magarito still has a bigger fan base then berto.

why you think he lsot them in the mosley fight? most of his fans are mexican do marquez or morales or barerra lose fans even tho they been beat and knocked out? they fans are loyal and stick by them. the reason why staples was sold out was because of margirito. hes no cotto or manny or mayweather but he has more fans than paul williams berto other champions that cant sell seats

what you mean i saw berto go life and death with callazo? berto is tough its his opposition that isnt. ive yet to see him lay down and stay down. im not even a fan of his i feel he has lot of talent and potential but the same for taylor. i think they are very similar but taylor was put in with the dogs quick

I have to agree with your point. Paul Malignalli has a bigger base than Berto!!
He has a good friend in HBO.

exactly - you can't be a taylor type guy with a life and death fight against collazo; that would have been like if taylor went life and death with daniel edouard.

Its a joke bro.Hbo wont even buy saul alvarez fight dec 4.But they spend
1.2 milllion on bertos undercard fight?Canelo has 10 times more fans then
berto.And cotto has like 20 times more then bertos,And still berto would
still want 50-50.It will be best for the sport if hernandez beats him.

none of top ranks black fighters will never make any good money as long as arum is running the show.berto is not with top rank but they sure as hell won't let him make good money off of one of their top names.but he will allow cheato to get a hefty check off pac and he cheated the boxing world.

[Cotto 54/10]

Berto should be more than happy if Cotto is going to accept the fight and should not be asking for anything else.
