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

[King Ju-Ju]

cant argue with what dibella said

[number1983]

BoxingScene.com was advised by promoter Lou DiBella that a potential fight between Sergio Martinez and Miguel Cotto is no longer being discussed after a financial dispute with Cotto's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank. The fight was being negotiated for a pay-per-view showdown in March. Martinez would have dropped down to a catch-weight of 155-pounds and placed his WBC middleweight title on the line. Cotto is the WBA's champion at 154-pounds.

Here is the reason why Arum doesn't want Cotto-Martinez (He can hide behind cotto on this but I just don't believe it). This guy want to keep his cashcows inhouse and and milk it for as much as possible. Cotto would get destroyed by Martinez which would ruin a possible match between Cotto-Margarito, and inturn prevent the winner from fighting Pacquiao II. its as simple as that.

what a sc****g, someone should retire this jack***, you'll do the boxing world a big favour

this is the problem

martinez is sooooooooooooooo easy to sell to the public. he's a gentleman. doesn't beat women. polite. handsome. exciting style. great skills. etc... his only drawback is he can't speak a lick of english. the fact that dibella can't sell this guy to the general public is criminal negligence.

This is why Martinez is hard to promote,here in the states and in the UK you need to be a complete jacass to get a fan base.Martinez needs to have a body shoot at someone at a night club,run someoff the road with his car.start a fight at the press confrences,curse and talk lots of garbage about his opponents and smack a few women around and then he will be a promoters dream come true!~

I don't mind Cotto vs Margarito II because I think Cotto (for his sake) needs that fight.

But truthfully, a lot of you gotta take what Bob says with a grain of salt. We're not even in January and he's talking about fights in the Fall. I don't believe Cotto or Margarito will get a 2nd shot at Pacquiao.

More in house matches at Top Rank I see

[Tomasio]

DiBella is SO RIGHT!!! I agree with EVERYTHING DiBella said in this article...Greedy ass Senile Parasite Arum just wants everything for himself!!!! Greedy Senile Arums "IN HOUSE" fights are preventing great matches from being done & killing the sport of boxing!!!

[ShoulderRoll]

**** Bob Arum. He is ruining the sport not to mention that he is pissing away Pacquiao's last good years on bull**** fights.

[brooklyngod]

well if the sergio vs cotto talks really fell apart then let the cotto vs antonio talks begin and hopefully no s h i t happens for those talks. get the match made period b i t c h e s.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Martinez-Cotto is a ****** fight.


I'd much rather see a Margarito-Cotto sequel.

[victorythagr8]

I rather watch margarito vs cotto over matinez vs cotto.


There is bad blood between the two and needs to settle it in the ring.
