    Its so pathetic that these "fans" focus more on how much money a fighter is making then seeing a good fight.
    The point is that a lot of fans think Cotto chose Margarito as his next opponent so that he could avenge his loss but it's not the case. Arum convinced him to take the fight.

      It has more to do with the fact that Cotto feels he gave up a lot to make the first fight. He was undefeated and the bigger draw in 08 but didn't get the money he felt he deserved and didn't get the fight in MSG. Add to that the fact that he lost and how Arum and Top Rank stood by Cheato even though its obvious he tried to cheat in the Mosley fight and most likely in more fights before that. Cotto had leverage this time and just how he should have.

        Because you cant want revenge and be properly compensated at the same time right?

          No you don't get it. He didn't want revenge, he didn't want Margy to make a dime off of him. Cotto didn't say "Go get me a Margarito rematch but you better pay me what I deserve", he said "Hell no I don't wanna give him a payday" but uncle Bob threw more money at him and Cotto gave in.

            because he hates margarito so much he doesn't want to help him make money

            now that he is fighting him he is probably pissed

              sometimes money is better than revenge

              and there is the opportunity for him to redeem the loss..

              win win situation

              great fight should make a ton of money

              maybe he wins but doubt it..

              would put 50 mil on Margo

                    Thanks man, everybody talks about Quartey's jab but he had more than one weapon in his arsenal. Love how he slipped the left hook and made Oscar look like a amateur.
