Holy ****, 9/17 is my birthday. I might have to make it out to Vegas, as Marg-Cotto I is still one of my favorite fights ever. I'm glad that kind of money is available for the fighters this time around.

cotto is in a no win situation....
if he beats margarito everybody will say he beat a shot fighter. loses to antonio then it does nothing for his career but hurt him more. honestly, margo in my opinion didn't cheat against cotto. cotto's uncle was in dressing room and didn't see anything wrong with the hand wraps.

His name is "cotto" not "pacquiao" not "mayweather", it's COTTO. 6 mill plus a cut from ppv and dude ends up with 10 mill or more. That's a good pay day. People want all these fools to make 20 mill a fight, but ***** and moan when they gotta shell out 60 or 70 bucks to order it. Keep that bull**** up and we'll be paying a smooth 100 bucks a fight so dudes like cotto can cash in. UHH no thanks, 10 mill for a nights work sounds pretty good to me.

Originally posted by BoxingScenery View Postplease stop the bull****, it's a nice thought but that's about all, fact is, Cotto doesn't have that kind of draw to attract those numbers. And, who could've Cotto fought at 147 elsewhere? Mayweather? you really believe that? and that's it, so that's a wash of the Pacquiao fight IF it had happened, now what? (btw, that fight could've happened if both fighters actually wanted it) He fought everybody else under Top Rank; Mosley, Judah, Quintana (was undefeated), Malignaggi (was undefeated) Clottey, Margarito, Pacquiao. Cotto should get the Margarito rematch out of the way, fight Cintron, and then fight Martinez, and he at that point would've done more than most of our other favorite boxers.

Fighting on Mexico's Independance Day???? I guess Golden Boy and Canelo are not fighting that weekend. Damn!!! I was gonna make the trip to Vegas/LA to see Canelo. Won't go to Mar/Cotto 2 (even though it will be just as good as the first) because I know that undercard will be ****! Probably put Christy Martin and Mike Jones on that ****.

Cotto won't make as much as the first fight because things have now changed. Cotto was undefeated going into the first fight and Marg was a top contender that was one of the most ducked dudes in boxing. Now Margarito aura of invincibility is gone after Pacquiao absolutely demolished him and Cotto vs Mayorga only did 250k PPV.
6 million guaranteed against a guy who just lost everyround and was seriously ****ed up is a good payday.

Originally posted by Ray* View PostCotto going it alone would have made him more money than staying Arum, he would have had the chance to fight others especially Oscar, Mayweather, cintron, Williams etc and build on making more, Both Mayweather and Oscar prove it can be done and those two didn't even need to break sweat while earning more going it alone, But I guess you have more and better options for cotto right? For me it's all about looking out for the boxers interest, for others their interest is to stuck behind a promoter so well done.
