By Robert Morales - Miguel Cotto, for the first time in his pro career, will not be fighting under the Top Rank Inc. banner when he defends his junior middleweight title against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight was announced Wednesday by Mayweather when he was granted a one-fight conditional license by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
For those thinking Cotto's longtime promoter, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, is peeved at Cotto for taking a fight that won't include him, think again.
"No, no, I know where you're going with this," Arum said as the question was being asked. "Miguel lived up to every contractual provision that we had and we lived up to every contractual provision and the contract expired. There is no animosity. We're very fond of him."
Arum was told that it was big of him to say that.
"It's not big of me to say that," he said. "If the guy had violated a contract, I wouldn't be sounding like this. But he didn't." [Click Here To Read More]
