Cotto going SOLO, bye bye Arum/Top Rank (according to PR newspaper)

[Mr. Fantastic]

He is the 3rd biggest draw in America....he's just a REALLY distant 3rd.

This is a good move for him, I'm really glad he's doing it.

In the U.S. there is a case but it depends on what standards you base it on.

Seriously though...Pac n Mayweather could fight ANYWHERE in the U.S. and sell it out. Not Cotto.

Absolutely, that's why Cotto is a distant 3rd. In international boxing the Klitschko's have him beat by a healthy margin too, but in the US he's #3.

He is a viable PPV main event draw against almost any opponent and he can sell a viable amount of tickets anywhere. Not sell out of course, but he can draw 7-10k wherever he is.

Cotto wanted a rematch with Pacquiao, but Arum, Roach and Pac have other plans.....so he decided to left TR.

[Mr. Philadel]

Cotto is a Boss....Floyd is a Boss...Manny is STILL a worker.....smh

[WarMaidana]

He better fight someone good. Hopefully Alvarez, Kirkland or Mayweather. I doubt the last two so hopefully Alvarez

Good for Miguel.

If I may add:

“Cuando De la Hoya se desligó completamente de Top Rank, tenía una compañía establecida. La gran diferencia entre los que establecen compañías como Canelo Promotions (de Saúl “Canelo Álvarez) o Tijuana Promotions (de Antonio Margarito) y Promociones Miguel Cotto es que la empresa de Miguel presenta 10 carteleras al año”, explicó.

Asimismo, indicó que el peleador puertorriqueño ha establecido una buena relación con HBO y Showtime, por lo que no se efectará su presencia en carteleras que presenten esas compañías.

Pretty much states that:

When De la Hoya broke ties with TR, he had established his own company. The main difference between companies like “Canelo Promotions” (Alvarez) o “Tijuana Promotions” (Margarito) and “Promociones Miguel Cotto” is that Miguel’s currently presents 10 fights per year. (Implying that Canelo and Tijuana are just fronts and not real promoting companies).

Additionally, he (Cotto) indicated that he has established a great working relationship with HBO and Showtime so he’ll have no problems with either. (Implying that he faced some limitations before when attached with TR).

Within the article he also stated that he will like more fights through the year. So....are we going to see a more active Cotto for 2012? I hope so!!

Canelo -vs- Cotto can now become reality. Let's make this happen for Cinco De Mayo weekend!

Also Pacquaio's options are now limited to Bradley, Marquez and Peterson; who do you think they'll fight next?

How is Cotto out of the picture?

[check hook]

Because Top Rank have carefully guided Cotto's career and made him what he is today.

Who do you think Cotto should be fighting next?

This paves the way for Cotto vs Mayweather.
