Purses for the Showtime PPV: Cotto $1mil Mayorga $50k

[Doctor_Tenma]

That can't be true, infact, I'm sure thats false. 50K?!

[ILLuminato]

Maybe it has something to do with the girl he raped back in Nicaragua and had to pay to get out of it?

[Steak]

lol at some people on here.
Cotto is getting a million dollars for fighting a shot fighter. And you feel bad for him?

Mayorga isnt making much cash at all, compared to others on the card and considering hes in the main event.
although he has some shady stuff going on.

Because Bob threw a childish fit because HBO had already scheduled Sergio Martinez on this saturday and told Bob that he would have to schedule another date for Cotto.

HBO had a fighter booked but with no opponent.

HBO had a fighter booked but with no opponent.

HBO wanted Martinez to fight Cotto and Bob Arum said no.

The 50K number is right. Mayorga owes a lot of money to Don King and owes money to the government in his home country because he raped the teenage girl.

Fanboys...

Ricardo Mayorga has to pay most of his purse to the Nicaraguan government to keep him out of jail for the rape he committed on a 15 year old girl.

Yea so the Nevada State Athletic Commission is withholding that amount from Mayorgas purse for the Nicaraguan government

Yep. Arum also turned down a Cotto/Cintron match in Puerto Rico in December and is believed to be the guy that ratted out Angulo because HBO wanted him against Cotto.

Arum's protecting Cotto until the Margarito rematch PPV, then he will throw him to the dogs. Especially if he loses, which I think he may.
