Comments Thread For: DiBella Responds To Arum on Cotto-Berto Difficulties

[Mojita]

Lol. Let's see what the Cotto stans have to say in response to this.

What? I want Cotto to fight Berto. Only fight that makes sense for him at the moment. I think Arum is full of **** and should get it done. And Cotto should open his mouth and get it done too.

looks like arum stuck his foot in his mouth, wonder what he has to say now.. dibella seems like a stand up guy.. arum is backed by a big bank no back bone.. but again, this is america, money talks over here....

LOL arum might be an ******* sometimes but Berto is ****in **** compared to cotto in terms of being a draw.

[baya]

70-30 in favor of cotto.Even canelo deserves more money then berto.
The only thing berto has to bargan is his belt.

i love how you always pluggin' canelo.

berto can't even draw flies to ***** so a 75/25 split is justified imho. berto should still be making double of what he's making fighitn that bum in nov.

[..WaRSpencE..]

I think Cotto would beat him too. But what beats the hell out of me is people give Cotto a pass for fighting guys like Gomez, Jennings, Foreman, and Chavez Jr. just because of the good opponents he's fought. And some of Berto's opponents like Urango and Collazo are better than those b-level guys on Cotto's resume and people give him shit for it. Double standards to me. I fuckin hate Berto too, but I'm just recognizing real.

You can't say Cotto got "props"..he did what his promoter set him up to do..and he fought guys like Judah, Mosley, Margarito, Clottey and Pacquiao in between those guys..Berto fought bums in between Collazo and Urango.

If it's for Berto's belt 65-35 if it's for Cottos belt 70-30 sounds right to me..

i love how you always pluggin' canelo.

But u cant deny canelo is a bigger draw then berto.

[ChampBox@PR]

agree on everything, but BErto only deserves 25-30% If Dibella thinks he will get more than that he is overpricing his fighter

I agree in totality that Cotto should get the lion's share but given the fact that Dibella is agreeing to that, then there should be no excuse for the fight not to happen. I think Cotto should be good enough to beat Berto at this stage. But that still doesn't change my opinion that Berto is waaaay better than guys like Foreman and Chavez Jr. and if the fight doesn't happen when the bar has been set like this, then it's Cotto's fault and not Berto's.
