Comments Thread For: HBO's Grasp of Cotto Fight Raises Industry Eyebrows

[fish262]

Lets see if all the posters who b1tched, whined and moaned about Al Haymon fighters making a ton of money for crap fights do the same thing here when a Bob Arum fighter is doing so.

Tim Bradley made 1 million for Joel Casamayor. Enough said.

Cotto must have a death wish to fight Martinez. He would get destroyed easily. It's time for him to hang it up already.

[WouldYouKindly?]

Yeah seriously Bob Arum rips into Haymon appearance fights and then proceeds to book Chavez-Vera and Zou Shiming vs some turd. Please.

[Da Boxer]

Let Miguel make some cash! He deserves it and when he stomps all over Rod... Canelo will be next!

[Cubanborn87]

lmao this is some bs. Did someone say Cotto vs Martinez? Count me in

You are a troll with this comment

Chavez just got his ass beat in his last fight...would you rather he be moved straight to a title shot?

Zou Shiming will be in his third fight - or would you rather he fight for a world title as well?

Chavez/Vera will be high octane until the knockout comes. And Shiming like any other prospect deserves to come up properly. Not his fault China treats him like a rock star and he's getting paid more than probably your favorite fighter for a 6 rounder

big ups for the correction. for some reason i thought it was one.

[ChampBox@PR]

Let me make something clear, first of all Cotto is a free agent period. Second he went to HBO for the payday and to have leverage for negotiations on his next fight. He wants his next fight to be either in Orlando or NY, Martinez would fight him anywhere, but that would bring less money. In the other hand, either Canelo packs his bags or GBP will have to open their wallet to make Cotto go back to vegas.

Just a hint watch Cotto fight for that MW crown at a catchweight of 156/7 in june!

HBO has put on some **** cards for Toprank recently its a joke really at least showtime is putting on some great fights

That was on a PPV card. HBO is not paying that purse, that's all on Arum
