Comments Thread For: Cotto Shakes Things Up, Begins New Chapter in Career

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - After months of mulling his next move, Miguel Cotto finally has an official announcement regarding his boxing future. Only, it's not to announce his next fight, but rather whom he will be rolling with for the remainder of his legendary career.

The only four-division titlist in Puerto Rico's rich boxing history has confirmed his allegiance to Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports, a rookie promotional outfit that has made headlines since entering the boxing fray last summer. Cotto's move was confirmed Thursday morning following speculation over the past 24 hours.

"We have an alliance with Miguel Cotto Promotions - Miguel Cotto's boxers - and Roc Nation. We are more than happy to announce that," the always-reserved Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) said in a brief statement. "Cotto Promotions and I are proud to become partners with Roc Nation Sports. "Big things to come."

Details of his future with the New York City-based company will be at a formal press conference to take place Thursday afternoon in New York City.

His next fight will take place June 6 in New York City, possibly at Madison Square Garden where he has sold more tickets than any other fighter in the 21st century. An opponent has yet to be announced for the bout. [Click Here To Read More]

He shouldve just retired after the Martinez fight imo. He couldve went out on top! Now, he's looking like he's avoiding Canelo(even fight) & Triple G(who whips his ass)

not even jay-z or ROC-Nation will save you from the GGG EZZ whooping! you can run but you Can't Hide Cotto! WBC should strip him wt kind of champ is not willing to defend? with GGG being the mandatory I expect cotto to vacate before GGG ****s him! sad what boxing has become! good luck fighting on FX sports!

Explains the long delay in his decision making process. Smart move to get in while they still are fully behind this part of their company. This will help MC Promotions vastly in PR and the states. TR had no real decent opponents and Cotto's business acumen is highly regarded. He knows what he's doing and the end product will let everyone see that.

At least when it comes down to it Rios will fight whoever whenever, but Cotto did a 360 now running his ass scared of the beat down that was awaiting him if he ever fights Canelo. Remember also your Boy Diva Cotto quit when he fought Pacquiao, Rios didn't! I don't hate Cotto, I think his a very good fighter but pulling this crap aint warrior like!
