Sergio Martinez: "I need to be treated with dignity."

[Da Boxer]

I side on Martinez on this 100%. He's the champion and he should be named on the card first. I know it's something little but it's a man holding his ground and earning his respect. What he doesn't realize though, is that he may just lose his big payday. So if he wants to get another big payday, he'll agree to the small talk and come out on fight night and make a big statement.

I say, just let them gear the entire thing towards Cotto. He's still getting TV exposure, a name on his resume, and a big payday. What's there to complain about?

Hey, great point! That is what Trout did vs. Miguel (even know there were quite of bit of distractions during Cotto's training camp).

Well, if he really wants that 4th divisional belt, he can fight GGG or Sturm instead. But then again, they're not 39 coming off an injury.

Or you could tell Martinez to fight the biggest threat in his own division.... then again, he is not a 154 pounder coming off huge wars where he's taken serious damage.

Cotto is the main draw, he is the PPV sell here. His name should go on top. He is the money maker, Martines needs to submit to his demands because Cotto earned the position he is in. Without Cotto, he wouldn't make as much as he might from this fight.

Martinez is a clown coward, all manly with demands to a 154 pounder but dead scared of the beast at his own weight class; Gennady "Triple G" Golovkin.

You make a valid point. You can look at it two ways. One, if you were in Sergio's position and the other if you weren't. If I was Sergio, I would want to hold my ground too and demand my respect, but then again, I wouldn't want to lose a big payday. You're simply looking at it from the outside in. Ultimately, I think, Sergio will submit to Cotto's demands, cause honestly, his days of fighting the top guys are over. I'm not sure he can be in another war against a young big 160 pounder.

Either way, I'm still rooting for Cotto, cause he's always exciting.

WAR COTTO!!!

cotto had no problem giving away the billing to challengers pacquiao and mayweather...why can't martinez do the same?

Or just take Quillin like GBP offered. He has plenty of options.

WAR COTTO!!!

Correct. If I was in Martinez position, my ego would definitely come in conflict with the terms. It's human competitive nature I guess. I understand that and it is a very valid point.

Then you look at the circumstances of the fight... Cotto is COMING up to your division, one of the top 3 most recognizable names in the sport to make a career high payday PPV with you. You just have to play along, you know what I mean. Plus, Cotto's name on TOP catches the eye more than Martinez will.

Hell yes, War COTTO!!

[Russian Crushin]

Cotto is just as thirsty for this fight as Sergio.

[El Angel]

lol! King Cotto has spoken and when he speaks Canelo the "Boffoon " waits.

His deadline was ignored and he still is hoping he'll get the fight. I hope Angulo knocks his ginger ass out!
