Cotto is being called out by many boxers these days. Why?

Notice nobody calls out guys like pirog or bute

Nobody cares about that trash.

I think it's not just the money. That's the main thing but also the name recognition, since that would mean even more chances for going mainstream and earn more money. It's a combination.

Money is the root

Notice how Sergio Martinez only calls out Pac, Floyd, Cotto and JCC jr. All 4 are at least 5X as popular as him and are fight that have a small risk to reward ratio. They would also propel him somewhere he cant get himself.

He's money. Anybody that goes in with Cotto will make a big pay-day and possibly a career pay-day. He's also a big name fighter.

Don't be mistaken though, calling out a big-name fighter doesn't mean you actually want the fight; it brings publicity to the other fighter.

Like I stated, money is the main reason after all, but with name recognition comes fame and more money in the end. They need the fame to land bigger fights. It all connects in the end.

he's one of the few cash cows.

[Slyboots]

Money and recognition but I think the bigger incentive is the money. All you hear in call outs are "MANNY" "FLOYD" and now "COTTO".

Cotto is not a cash cow...lol...jesus...

[plasterking]

Because many believed that he's beatable after Pac fight

Yea thats true

Look at what Haye did with the Klitschkos. He calls them out, draws their severed heads on his shirt and all the sudden the UK has this whole new interest in him because he signs to fight Vlad and has a chance to be a UK heavyweight champ.

Then after his name gets recognized, he pulls out of their fights and goes on a 2+ year money collecting streak. Until he actually fought Vlad

Exactly!!!

Exactly, they are just throwing their names out there, so people can pay attention to them, like Guerrero is doing with Mayweather and Khan

Cotto is not a cash cow...lol...jesus...

Give me a bigger draw, not name Pacquiao nor Mayweather
