    Cotto is fighting Margarito for money, not revenge

    So disgusted with Margarito was Cotto that he nearly did not take the fight, having vowed, after their initial bout, not to allow Margarito to profit from his name.

    But Arum sweetened the deal.

    "It took me quite an effort to convince Cotto and his people to do the fight. He has this hate for Margarito, and he didn't want Margarito to make a penny in the ring with him," said Arum.

    "That's what he said. I convinced them. I gave them a great deal. And he's going to make a lot of money. Ultimately, money talks. I couldn't have made this fight on normal terms. Just money. That's enough."

        Heaven forbid a fighter wants more money.

        Revenge and money can go side by side.

          If you go to the Ring website the article is towards the bottom of the page.

            But it has nothing to do with revenge, despite all the Top Rank/HBO hype. This fight is just another cash grab for Arum.

              yep, im sure cotto this is just like any fight to cotto. He liked margarito so much that he refused to margarito unless he makes alot of money.

              because wanting revenge and money is mutually exclusive

              boxingscene never fails to blow my mind

                Did you even read the article? It's the opposite.

                  I guess the only way to fight for revenge is to fight for free

                  This is also probably the first time in history fighters ever trash talked to sell a fight

                  Its so pathetic that these "fans" focus more on how much money a fighter is making then seeing a good fight.

                    my apologies. it's not often that it's necessary to read what the person posts on this site before providing a rebuttal
