Comments Thread For: Cotto Promotions Strikes Deal With Univision Puerto Rico

[JakeNDaBox]

Reigning middleweight king and active promoter Miguel Cotto has struck a deal with Univision Puerto Rico to form "Boxeo Al Maximo," a new boxing series that will air on a recurring basis.

The intent of the series is to showcase rising prospects in Puerto Rico. A sampling of what the series has in store came last June on WAPA-TV, when prospects Felix Verdejo, Jose Pedraza and Jantony Ortiz were featured on TV as part of an undercard topped by Cotto's historic middleweight title-winning stoppage over Sergio Martinez in New York City.

“Boxeo Al Maximo is a new event concept that we design for the enjoyment of fans and bring the most exciting bouts and developing our prospects,” Cotto said in a press statement. “We are pleased to announce our partnership with Univision Puerto Rico who will broadcast our events and reach every household in Puerto Rico.” [Click Here To Read More]

That's great, like PRBoxing stated before me this is what PR needed in order to nurture and develop their young talent.

On a side note, Cotto has some good names in his stable... as does Canelo in his. Perhaps they can pit a few of their fighters against each other if ever and whenever they decide to meet in the ring someday.

Cotto started at 140..he's not a true MW.

time for GGG to make a move north instead of picking on MW bums and Jr MWs.

yessss!!!!!! i hope it makes it to the main Univision here in the states, i watch that channel all the time for sports, has some of the best sports coverage in the USA, Cotto will probably have his fighters on Republica Deportiva and really really build em up like that....much respect to Cotto, great champion

Golovkin is a NATURAL middlewieght,and hes trying to unify the division. How about you tell cotto to either drop the belt and stop playing middleweight,or stop being a little b*tch,looking for fights with welters like bradley and mayweather, and fight golovkin already. smh at these cotto fans. "golovkins too big doe" but a one legged martinez was just the right size? gtf outta here.

True, but the jokes were too good to pass up on Someone said it looked like it was held at Taco Bell/Food Court,etc.. LMAO. However the fact remains, this is a good set up for the young talent in the island.

Even if they hold press conferences at the local food restaurant
