Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto, Sergio Martinez Agree on Fight Name Billing

I seriously don't understand why this was ever a point of contention.

One guy is capable of selling a PPV. One guy is not. End of story.

Ego? I dunno.
Didn't this occur with PWill vs Martinez? Who came to the ring first?

its not even close

I've been to a Cotto fight in MSG... THE CROWD WILL BE 90% Puerto Rican

Dont know where you got these #'s from but they are not even close..Back when I was in HS in the late 90's there were close to 2.5 million of us Boricuas in NYC...778K looks more like the Florida numbers.

For you haters, when Cotto fought both Pac and Mayweather he was the champ and name was 2nd but no hate then. Cotto brings the money and the people. When they fight in MSG, Cotto fights in the big arena and Martinez in the little arena and doesn't even fill. Cotto is the cash cow, point blank so he calls the shots.

War Cotto

Williams entered the ring first, Sergio was introduced first.

When Floyd and Manny do it, it's fine. But when Cotto does it, it's a diva move. Double standards galore.

o well, it will be switch to Martinez-cotto after cotto is beaten to death

Williams entered the ring first, Sergio was introduced first.

Thanks for the clarification. Don't go all in for this fight. LOL

[Drunk Punch]

This is soooo gay it must be made up. I'm sure Cotto must have more important things on his mind than this.

Cotto is a ppv kingpin sergio isnt "CottovsMartinez" PPV is how i saw it when they first started talkin bout this fight meaning cotto holds all ppv weight in this one only argument is sergio has the belt but when floyd fightes for belts u never see his name second as should be with cotto much respect but im gunna hate to see him loose to a p**sy like sergio HOPEFULLY after he will relocate his ba**s all give everyone what we deserve to see which is GGG prooveing sergio was finished a long time ago!

Cotto is a small guy at 154, what is he 5'6/5'7? I wonder if he should have had a couple of fights to test the weight before facing the champ.

[ColdBlooded]

The fight is in New York. It should Be Cotto-Martinez. Nobody coming to see Martinez. Martinez should be grateful for getting this check.

Cotto should be grateful he's getting this title shot. I'm sure plenty of people will come to see Martinez. The opponent matters. After all, Cotto didn't come come close to selling out against Trout.
