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

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Sergio was fighting to have his name first what your not the cash cow and your not in the driver seat glad this fight is finally going to be a done deal so cotto can make history and martinez gets his big fight big name big payday that he wanted before he retires

Puerto Ricans and Argentinians are the highst Latino population in NY, so how can anyone say that Cotto is the one putting a22es on those seats?

Cotto is turning to be a primadona, he should be thankful that he is disputting the middle weight crown. Martinez want to or not has not los a fight in a long time, and Cotto just because he beat an egg beater in Rodriguez figueres he is the star he once was?

BS I hope Martinez beats his a22 down

[The Problem Child]

Good to see the Ballerina recognize his place and surrender to Cotto's demands. Martinez is no PPV draw, Cotto is the big boss in this situation. Not to mention Cotto is jumping up to your weight class as well. **** this coward up, Cotto!!!! **** HIM UP!!!!

I remember Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston had the same dispute over the Lion King soundtrack back in the day.

Didn't know argentines were so plentiful in NY... Martinez is probably a bigger deal in argentina than cotto in puerto rico. :|..he's also shown to be the better fighter, is the lineal champ and cotto is challenging HIM. >__>...

Cotto is somehow this cash cow because he fought Floyd and Pac. :|... Not long ago people were saying Cotto couldn't sell out aside from NY.

Seriously speaking though, it's not a huge issue but it's silly that he wants to challenge for the title and have the champion treatment. Cotto likely does bring in more fans and it's essentially his venue so again, no issue. If he comes in second though that's where it has to stop for me. Cotto isn't bringing in SO MUCH MORE fans that he has to act like he's Floyd. Is he even a top 5 draw..seriously speaking? Floyd and pac are indisputably number one and two. Canelo has taken up number three. The K bros get ****** ratings outside the US and sell out stadiums like it's nobodies business I think they deserve a mention... I love Cotto pero tampoco que se haga la gran mierda lol

I think this is literally the only time Cotto has been the A side in a big fight. :|.... If he loses this will be humiliating (and most people think Serg with even a bit of health crushes him ) and Martinez will likely let him have it post fight. I wish he'd humble down at this stage and just fight. He's setting himself up for another diva moment post fight...

Anyway, best of luck to both men.

Very true, it is indeed battle of the Divas! With Sergio's metrosexual hairstyle & clothings along with Miguel Cotto's fetish for the color pink. Its a battle for the metrosexuals.
lmao but glad this fight got made, dunno why people keep saying Sergio's gonna KO Cotto early. Much like they overated the Marquez Ko of Pac
Sergio has been fading alot lately with his injuries, age, etc. I think Cotto MIGHT pull the upset if Roach has his stamina up. That left hook will be huge

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

Martinez is the Champion and their popularity is similar. Martinez's handlers should be slapped for allowing this. The real name of this should have been "Payback" anyway. Rob ArScum is feeding Cotto to Martinez trying to end his career for deserting him and working with Golden Boy.

Cotto is MUCH more popular that Martinez. He has headlined PPV cards, Martinez has not.

Cotto has filled the Garden on multiple occasions. Its not a knock on Sergio, but he simply is not at all more popular.

[JmH Reborn]

LoL, this convo is still going - Cotto has the record for attendance in one of the sport's most storied locations. Think about that - with all the legends that have fought at MSG, Cotto has put more a$$es in seats at the Garden.

Meanwhile Sergio's claim to fame is fighting at the 4K seat Theater of the Garden

And he thinks he deserves top billing? I mean what are we talking about? He has the Thomas and Mack Center under his belt as well - as the B side - being the champ as well.

He just was able to sell out in his hometown selling $10 tix and he wants top billing?

If he's being such a hoe about this, he can go fight GGG, back at the theater for peanuts and get murdered properly, or give Cotto the business and beat his ass and get paid a few millie. Sergio is one of my faves, but a spade is a spade.
