Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward on The Cotto Split, Margarito Rematch

That`s all nonsense and not true. The truth is they split about the purse - read Dan Rafael`s article on espn.com. Steward was fired by many fighters because he wants more tha he deserves.Ask Holyfield,DeLaHoya, Chavez.....now Cotto - could even be that with Dawson was the same issue.

sounds plausible

when manny was training tommy hearns, he got 20%as the trainer and another 20% as the manager for a total of 40%. he would end up making more than the fighter because tommy had to pay the entourage while manny just put his dough in the bank.

Good move by Cotto. The Cuban seems to have a lot of credentials which Cotto could use. Plus I'm sure the Cuban's expertise will be a lot cheaper than Steward's fees.

I think Pacquiao should review the cost of keeping Roach. It seems a lot of boxers have changed coaches in their career. Pacman needs a new perspective in fighting.

Of course, Pac can stick with Roach all the way to retirement just like Floyd's announcement regarding Roger. This is also a great option.

If you think think a degree means anything in boxing then you are a dumbass....

****, ****, ****. This is horrible news for Cotto's chances imo. With Emmanuel he faught more disciplined than in the past.

He is a dumbass trying to justify his lack of education. Don't mind him.

People stop speculating, it was all about $$$ and schedule.
Steward wanted to train Cotto and Wlad at the same time, cause Wlad fights on Dec 10th. He wanted to leave Santiago running Cotto's camp while he was w/ Wlad but didn't want to modify his fee and Cotto didn't buy to that and decided to hire the Cuban.

People calling this a mega fight LOL

Precisely what I posted in another thread. I can't remember where I read it first, though. Somewhere about a year ago I read that Emanuel Steward was a notoriously expensive trainer...
