When Cotto and Co, turned down $10.5 million to face Canelo, you had to know something was going sideways... #boxing

Now Cotto is about to duck GGG even more.

If HBO brings the right amount to the table, I am sure Cotto will fight GGG. By the right amount, I mean $4 to $5 million for Cotto. HBO won't offer that much and GGG can't draw flies on PPV, so the fight won't happen.

On the other hand, Cotto/Ward on PPV will draw 400,000-500,000 buys and will allow Cotto to make $5 or $6 million.

If he did, he wouldn't get a press pass to see Mayweather/Pacquaio or any other Top Rank fight. So, of course he won't.

If Cotto signed with Roc Nation you better believe his guranteed per fight will be way higer than 5-6 million.

Cotto was only going to make 500k more to fight on Canelo's date and his home turf? I can see why he told Top Rank to **** off now.

Def not ever fighting floyd again and almost certain he won't fight Canelo before he retires(he never wanted to and everyone knows that). Cotto clearly doesn't care about his "kurea" anymore and is willing to fight low level competition until he retires. It must be that he feels he can't win against Canelo, Floyd and GGG(don't blame him).

I haven't seen a career/boxer take so much heat in 1 year like this in a long time lol. its like he fell through a perpetual downward spiral of suckery right into the arms of $atan Lol. Good job Miguel Toto! ruining your own legacy One decision at a time.

Or the ****** spot on all the free preview shows Top Rank does before their PPV fights.

[Bob Haymon]

how is cotto a "back stabber"? Him and top rank where in agreement on FIGHT BY FIGHT. Meaning, cotto at anytime, if he chose not to, doesn't need top rank to promote their fights.

Top Rank had done everything to appease Cotto. They had no obligation to help him out with Cotto Promotions but they went out of their way to build up their stable by moving their puerto rican fighters from PR Best Boxing over to Cotto Promotions. They even went as far as to make him Felix Verdejo's co-promoter. Top Rank could've just been greedy and had the best prospect in boxing exclusively to themselves. The least Cotto could've done was return their calls and not gone behind their backs to sign with Roc Nation.

Yeah and they told us it was because he was going to fight Mayweather. SMDH

Now they wanna blast Cotto because he signed a contract that's going to earn him major bread. Oh the horror.
