Why did Cotto leave Top Rank?then go right back?

[Larry the boss]

What was the point? and what was the reason?

[icebergisonfire]

He wanted to fight Floyd and get paid without the bull****.

[Triumph 916]

Probably to get the fight(s) that he knew wouldn't happen otherwise.

He wanted to fight Floyd and get paid without the bull****.

[HanzGruber]

left to fight floyd, but idk why he went back, he basically called arum a lier about the amount he said hed pay him for a manny rematch. and doesnt he have cotto promotions? lol

[Jack Napier]

because Arum had a picture of Tony Margarito in his office and Cotto was horribly tormented by it

[JmH Reborn]

He's a free agent

I'm sure TR is offering better fight alternatives, therefore he's there. If GBP offers him something lucrative, then he'll go back.

His lawyer said he did not sign any options or long term deals. Fight by fight basis. So whoever bringing the cash, gets to fight Cotto.

Looking at GBP and TR, who other than Canelo and Floyd offer as much greenback as fights with JMM, Martinez and Pacquiao, all fighting on HBO. He took meager money against someone like Trout, and for what a rangy, awkward prime guy that he shouldn't have fought, but you know, that fight set up what now is Canelo/Floyd so its whatever.

But GBP has nothing right now that is lucrative

[Larry the boss]

So he left to fight Floyd..because he couldnt do it with Top Rank?? same reason Marquez left?

[FeFist]

Transparent as ever Larry.

What was the point? and what was the reason?

he's not back with them as far as signing a contract with top rank. they are just co-promoting his fight just like when golden boy co-promoted his last couple of fights. cotto is still a free agent and is his own promoter.
