Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto To Sergio Martinez: You Are The B-Side!

[-Kev-]

It looks like Cotto has got a little bit of Mayweather in him.

That's a pretty unfair comment even for you, considering Floyd had problems with only one fighter in negotiations. He gave in to every demand DLH had, he went 50-50 with Hatton, at an agreed 147 because Hatton claimed he was too big for 140 and wanted to move up. The Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, Guerrero negotiations were almost non existent because of how smooth they were. He let Cotto fight at 154 and come in 2nd.

So I really don't understand this comment, however, I understand that you are not too fond of Floyd and probably exaggerated his personality.

Cotto had to deal with it himself vs PAC and Floyd, Sergio has to deal with it now. Stop crying everyone.

BOTH Pac and Floyd came first into the ring vs Cotto because Cotto was the champion.


Cotto is acting like a diva. He deserves more money than Martinez but he has not right coming second into the ring. Only biased fanboys can defend this.

[JaYDeuce11]

Its a great mind game between the 2 during negotiations. Cotto wants to show that he is the money maker between the 2, but Sergio wants to show yea yea yea lets just fight by accepting all of Cottos outrageous demands.
even though im WAR COTTO , he should have that audacity to let Martinez come into the ring 2nd cuz he is the champion!! Hell, even Pacquiao & Mayweather let Cotto come into the ring second i believe cuz he was champ

It doesn't matter Serigo Martinez is whoop Miguel Cotto's you know what. This will worst than Margarito (1) & Pacquiao beatings he received. Cotto will fold.

I dont see how cotto is arrogant. He's just telling the truth and admits that he was also considered the B-side when he went up against opponents who were better sellers.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Cotto is also on the B side if you look at the overall picture in boxing. The catch weight is just bullshit. Cotto is a hypocrite. Hope he gets his ass whooped.

Wrong again buddy. Idk why people think cotto is done. The one that's done is Martinez whose 40yrs old, coming off major surgery and is getting slower and hit hard by guys like Mcklin and Murray. Call me crazy but I honestly see the fight being close the first 3-4 rounds but cotto with the TKO victory no later than round 8.

Which good fighter has Cotto stopped of lately? Tko victory, ok. I just don't see Cotto being superior in any area to Martinez? Except popularity. By the 10th Cotto will take a knee.

I've always liked Cotto, but this shxt right here is ridiculous. The real cash cows of the sport, Pac and Floyd let his @ss walk first even though he was clearly the B side. That's some bs, show some respect for the champ. I also always like Maravilla so had no pick when it came to this fight, but now I hope Sergio whoops dat @ss then talks shxt after the fight. Ya your the A side, cool, get more money and have your name top billed.. That's perfectly fine. But respect the champ and let him come out second.

I agree Pac /Floyd are the draws of the sport, but on Puerto Rican Day parade weekend it's unreal . Everybody who's anybody seems to go to the fight directly after the parade . It's a Mad house . I went a few years back COTTO/clottey and was impressed with the turnout coupled with the energy and vibe of that weekend ( they represent) .Sergio should def walk out second being champ. Cotto feelN himself a lil to much though, but I guess it's better then watching him feel his friends ass .

Cotto got his business head on

The tension is rising between WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (51-2-2-, 28KOs) and Miguel Cotto (38-4, 21KOs). They will battle on June 7th at New York's Madison Square Garden.

In several recent interviews, Martinez has openly complained about Cotto's numerous demands during their drawn-out negotiations. Among them, Cotto demanded a catch-weight of 159-pounds, first billing in the promotion, for Martinez to be situated in the challenger's corner, and for Martinez to have the first ring walk.

Cotto is right....I support him loyally!!....but I think he's being disrespectful to respectable champion and person....Maravilla came up and earned his the hard way....imo he should've allowed the champ to walk in second....it's just tradition

Ali walked first in Zaire against Big George....Chavez walked first in the Texas against Pea...the A sides showing the B side champs the proper respect

Still going for Cotto but I still fux with Maravilla....I have nothing against him....I like him as well....just wanna see Cotto add a ***el to his legacy....he deserves it imo....he's fought them ALL....was hoping he and Marquez would hook up and get that PR-Mexico rivalry turned up!!
