Why the hell is Cotto fighting Mayorga?

[mikemurni]

If the consumer wants to see a Cotto fight, it is his or her right to pay $40 for it.

Outside of proposing an upheaval to the way the boxing business work, I'm not sure where you're trying to go with this. To me, having an option is better than not having an option, especially when I'm not the one risking money on it.

Either way, we're running in circles, might as well agree to disagree.

Puerto Ricans are going to watch this fight because they support Cotto.. Besides the target audience are Puerto Ricans just like in any of his tune-up fights. There is some nationalistic theme when it comes to foreign fighter.. the way Canadians support Pascal, British support Hatton, Filipinos support Pac, and now Puerto Ricans support Cotto...

I agree...but you don't. Why? Because you said you believe it's either pay $40 for a tuneup or there's no fight. I say don't pay if those are your choices. Stream, bootleg, whatever. Do that enough and then maybe they'll get the message and you'll get some real options.

I personally don't have wanting to try and send a message to the promoters.

I understand the line of thinking. I just don't care enough. If I wanna see a fight, I'll buy it. If I don't buy it, I don't care about it enough to watch a stream that breaks up here and there.

I do understand the logic though....I see where you're coming from now.

I wanna see Margorga die

He's just following the Top Rank motto of fighting once good fighters on the slide. Next step is bringing him up to 160-168 against the divisions easiest and wallah, ATG status.

154: Foreman, Mayorga

160: Peter Manfredo Jr or Chavez Jr for a title

168: Shot to shit Edison Miranda

Top 10 ATG Miguel Cotto.

Don't forget that Cotto just came off surgery to repair a broken vagina too. I'm just going by what his fans are saying to excuse this fight with Mayorga.

Damn...

I guess if its a tuneup for a BIG fight then its not as bad...it being on PPV is ridiculous tho...

Mayorga is the style of fighter that gives Cotto hell,I'm really thinking that an upset is in the making!!Mayorga is bigger,stronger,has the better chin & better stamina!!Cotto has better boxing skills but he starts to fade in the second half of fights.If I were in Miguel's corner Mayorga is not the fighter I would have chosen!!

better chin and stamina are very debatable

MAYORGA HASN'T FOUGHT N A WHILE SINCE TRYING MMA COTTO SHOULD'VE WENT AFTER Alfredo "Perro" Angulo/Saul "Canelo" Alvarez/Cornelius "K9" Bundrage
