    Arum will let Cotto take a beating and get more miles on him then have more leverage with Cotto coming off of a one sided beatdown to serve him up to Chavez Jr.

      This.

      And this.

      You only need to look at what he's said about De La Hoya and Mayweather after they left.

      On De La Hoya (1999)- "Oscar is one of the most polite, well spoken fighters in the sport and has a real class about him".

      On De La Hoya (2011)- "Oscar is an idiot. He's so dumb that he has to get Richard Schafer to help him run his business. He's just not that smart."

      On Mayweather (2005)- "Mayweather is the greatest of all time. First it was Ray Robinson, then it was Ray Leonard, then it was Ali, and now it's Floyd."

      On Mayweather (2009)- "Mayweather is a boring fighter. All he does is run around in circles, nobody wants to pay to see that.'

      On Cotto (2007)- "Cotto is the best fighter we've ever had at Top Rank."

      On Cotto (in the future)- tbc.

          They both acknowledged that it was a great deal and actually advised Cotto to take it. They wished him well and had nothing but good things to say.
          Arum had nice things to say about PBF when he first bought out his contract as well and we see now where that relationship stands.

            According to Todd Debouf, he's happy for Cotto and that Cotto has paved the way for him to get the payday he'll get with Floyd and that they will work together in the future.

                Hey shouldnt say anything bad at all because Cotto could come back to him after the Floyd fight. Talking shlt about Miguel would be a bad business move.

                    He was initially respectful to De La Hoya as well. Give him a few years of Cotto making millions and watch his hatred simmer.
