Comments Thread For: DiBella on Cotto-Martinez Failure, Rips Margarito Rematch

[THE_BIG_HURT]

See what did i tell you guys it was never in arums or cottos plans to make this fight bc they knew they would loose. They would rather face tony in a toss up fight and arum keep all the money.

i noticed you hate all things Puerto Rican but theres nothing to suggest that Cotto didnt want the fight. Its just Good ol Bob f**kin things up again for the fans. I'm sure if anything this is the fight Cotto would want most

[GRUSTLER]

BWHAHAAHAHAHAHAH! all Lou does is book fights for HBO. he's not a real promoter.

if dibella and martinez really wanted the fight, they would've taken what was offered. they gotta look at cotto as a stepping stone to greater things. if they take short money, and beat cotto, they can always give cotto a rematch or possibly get the marg rematch martinez wants so badly.

instead they are looking to cash out on the pwill win like it's gonna be their last fight.

right now, Top Rank holds the cards they they got nothing Arum wants.

personally, I think it's an easy fight for S-mart. why not take the short money, and offer a rematch where they get the bigger piece of the pie?

about the cotto/marg II... dibella is trying to push for martinez, but even he has to know the rican-mexico rivalry is one of the best and most lucrative rivalries in boxing. saying cotto/marg II won't sell is like saying people don't like to eat.

BULL****! This has to be a joke post if I ever read one.
Martinez is on top and Cotto is not. Martinez has looked
very good in his last 3 fights, while Cotto hasn't. Martinez
is the middle weight champ, that is willing to drop down to
a catchweight, put his title on the line and let Cotto keep
his. That is a sweet deal BUT Arum saw what happened
to Paul and his boy Pavlik already got it. Arum is keeping
all of his fighters away from Martinez or anyone that can
top his stable. No matter how important you see Dibella
as a promoter. Fact of the matter is his company is a
promotional company, register as a business. Arum knew
that deal wasn't going to fly and that's why he put it
out there like that. Same as Marquez. Arum is making
his boys look soft and exploiting them BIG TIME while
making a ton of cash off of them. Cotto/Margarito rematch?
2 fighters that got slaughter in their last fights by the same
lil dude? Can't believe you wrote and posted this comment.
Sounds like your cosigning Arum for copping out.

also, martinez murks cotto. he's too big.

Serg is.not only too big, but also too quick, too slick and too strong for Michael Angel... It's a total mismatch imo...

Cotto is WAY ahead in popularity and is 10x the draw of Sergio and holds all the cards

Financially, Cotto is miles ahead of Sergio. Miguel is the biggest draw in Boxing not named Pacquiao or Mayweather. He brought in 20K to Yankees stadium and had the highest rated HBO fight of the year... fighting Yuri Foreman. Martinez could barely get 5,000 to watch him fight Paul Williams.

I think Arum is wrong trying to keep everything in-house, but let's be real here... Cotto is far and away the bigger star/draw. If Sergio wants to be a PPV fighter and fight the likes of Cotto/Pacquiao/etc, seems like he should try to buy out Dibella himself otherwise it's back to HBO after dark in Indian Casinos.

Top ****** at it again. If dumb@sses keep buying his mismatch PPV, he going to keep doing them. If a Cotto-Margarito fight bombs, then maybe Arum will learn something.

Yes there is go read the original article on espn and its says arum talked to cottos people and that they wanted certain terms which lou didnt want. They should do a co promotion like all fights are done. Martinez and his promotor cannot always be bending over and taking it all the time there comes a time where they have to stand up like rite now when he is the middle weight champ bc if they dont every top fighter will try to bully them to get the bigger share of the pie. Williams did it pavlic too he is being disrepected.

No matter who Pac fights, other the Floyd, he will be at, at least Marg odds to win if not more of a favorite.

So they will all be "mismatches" as you want to call them

[chinoy]

Who the heck knows Martinez? he may have won over Pavlik and P.Will but only hardcore fans knows who he is.....out of the 4,000 fans who trooped to atlantic city, the vast majority rooted for Pwill, i know cause i was there....

Cotto on the other hand is a proven PPV draw.....

Whether we like it or not,boxing is a business

never said martinez isn't on top, or that arum is protecting cotto.

but dibella and martinez are the guys begging for a fight. it's arum's rules or he takes his ball and goes home.I don't like it, but it is what it is.

there's no real demand for cotto to fight martinez. I personally see it as a mismatch. martinez will murk cotto. easy work.

yep, but he can't promote ***** without a network to sign on.

i don't like it either, but arum is playing hardball. what ya gonna do?

Cotto/Margarito rematch?
2 fighters that got slaughter in their last fights by the same
lil dude?

great point. so then why does martinez want to fight 2 guys that got slaughtered in their last fight by the same lil dude? shouldn't martinez be fighting someone good?

I don't think martinez/cotto is a good fight. cotto gets murked.
