Going into the numbers....(previous post in that thread)
Here is the issue.
There simply isn't enough money to make the fight.
Berto may take 35%. That's possible. But what is HBO gonna put up? 3.5 mill? That would make Berto's pay day $1.25 million, roughly. He made more against Quintana.
You can bet your ass that he's gonna want more money against Cotto than he made against Quintana.
Unless HBO REALLY wants the fight and puts up $4 million for it, I don't see the fight happening.
Fun Fact: Only WCB HBO put up $4 million for(to my knowledge)--Hopkins vs. Calzaghe.
