    Yes, they can make as many petty demand as they want because they are the A side. But then we can call them divas for making such demands.

        You want him to agree to everything and shut up until fight night? That sounds lame....

          Cotto asked for a 158 catchweight, but the Martinez camp said he couldn't make it and countered to 159....who looks silly now?

                Martinez vs Chavez Jr was on HBO PPV. Try again.

                  I don't know about that. I thought Martinez rushed that line -- made him seem more like a high school kid than a professional. Plus, Martinez didn't appreciate the distinction between a Class A fighter and a A-side fighter, and Cotto was very poised and composed in how he presented this distinction...like a professional.

                  I've liked Sergio for a while now, but his complaining is getting old.

                    Martinez headlined the pay per view vs Chavez just one and a half years ago. Also, when he knocked out Paul Williams, Williams was a top five pound for pound fighter.

                      It IS silly. I remember Williams did it to Martinez and Martinez knocked his arse out
