Should Cotto leave top rank?

[GrandpaBernard]

He can fight antonio and Julio Jr at tr.

If he leaves, he could make fights with Floyd and Saul.

Fighting Floyd gives everyone the biggest payday of their career, antonio simply doesn't compare. Mexicans see Saul as their next coming not Julio Jr.

bobby is only promising Cotto of up to $6mil total for a rematch with marg.

GBP was able to guarantee Mosley $6.7mil for fighting Floyd. This doesn't include how ever much of the cut Mosley got from the revenue.

It's ridiculous how someone with a fanbase that doesn't even buy his PPVs, Mosley, was able to financially outdo the 3rd best seller in the sport, Cotto.

so GBP can ruin his career? its all about money for cotto now since hes proven his drawing power. not as much as pac but hes makin quite some dough with arum

[ChampBox@PR]

Not at all, he can rematch Margo and Pacquiao and then retire with a lot of cash!!!!

He missed that boat already, He had his own promotional company, His contract was coming to an end before the Margarito fight and instead of going it alone he re-sign with Arum, He could have fought De la Hoya at that time and go on to be bigger and even better than now...Shame cause Cotto is a typical throwback fighter who i really really respect.

Someone like Cotto would be able to command a higher price for fighting Floyd.

How much he makes from fighting FLoyd and Saul > how much he would make from fighting antonio, julio jr, and pac rematch. I understand we have Cotto fans here, but no one is going to buy a cotto pac rematch.

^^why do you keep on bringing up how much shane made vs floyd mayweather, as if there is any gaurantee in the slightest that floyd would fight cotto in the first place.

[Clegg]

No reason to think Floyd or Alvarez would fight him.

Is his TR contract about to expire or anything? I haven't heard about that, he signed a new one before the Pac fight IIRC.

As a fan, I'd like to see Cotto face a real challenge. But if your point is about how much he would make, JJC Jr is an easier fight for a lot of money and a MW belt.

I'm saying if you were in Cotto's shoes and offered a fight with Floyd, would you get out of top rank, so you can make fights with Floyd and Saul in the future? You know that fighting Floyd makes you more dough than rematching antonio.

I think fighting Saul next year would make him more than fighitng Julio Jr. Mexicans love Saul much more than they do Julio Jr.

Cotto marg can't even happen until Autumn.

Say he takes a fight with Floyd for the Summer. Then he fights Saul later this year or early next year.

Then Tito, DLH, Sugar Ray Leonard and Tyson come back, are able to make 154, and fight him on the same night on super-PPV.

That would make him a lot of money.
