Yeah, I'm not too in favour of Tony getting all of these paydays, but if Cotto wanted it, who is to tell Tony and Cotto no?

Margarito's career after beating Cotto in 2008 :

-Got demolished by Mosley

-Got suspended for a year

-Beat a B level guy in Mexico

-Got an undeserved title shot against Pacquiao and got demolished again

How is this guy deserving of an immediate shot at Cotto's belt?

Look and carry himself like Tony Montanna in the latest 24/7. Bob Arum seems to look at Margarito like a step son or something. Arum appreciates Margarito's gangster, and it helps to be good friends with one of the most influential businessmen in the sport. Also, there's unfinished business and guaranteed ticket sales. Plus Margarito has an excellent chance of beating Cotto. This fight is awesome. Unless you dont' want to see Cotto give Margarito to redeem himself. Which is a very fair position.

because he made cotto take a knee and quit

no other fighter out there who's going to make a more exciting fight w/ cotto at the moment, plus because of their history and the gloves controversy. all these rolled into one brings in $$$.

Took Cotto's 0 in 2008, great fight against Cotto in 2008, Mexico v. Puerto Rico rivalry, and he and Cotto genuinely dislike each other, so the fight SELLS.
