[Larry the boss]

WTF are you talking about?????

Que por lo menos el maricon no esta pidiendo un ring rosado.

Y porque pinga no quiere una clausula para una revancha?

Comprendes?

If they're so petty why does the other side have an issue with them?

The common demoninator for all these petty quarrels during negotiations is Cotto. Just ask Sergio Martinez who went on the record to say "I'm surpised he didnt ask for rose pedals to be thrown at his feet as he makes his ring walk or else he will cancel the fight".

I used google translate:

It seems that the Puerto Rican Miguel Angel Cotto is not as uninformed as he thinks the promoter Oscar de la Hoya.

In the midst of a thorough analysis of the contract on Wednesday his fight with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez Mexican scheduled for 21 November at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, the middleweight champion of the World Boxing Council found a new obstacle that will stop for a few days the long-awaited official announcement of the lawsuit.

Cotto revealed exclusively to ESPNDeportes.com that De La Hoya, whom warned him not include a rematch clause for combat with the tapatío- not see any progress in the petition to exclude the black canvas symbolizes the fledgling company Roc Nation Sports.

The four-time division champion was surprised with the new request of the President of Golden Boy Promotions and also issued an ultimatum.

"We are now waiting patiently for a decision on the black canvas of the fight," said Cotto with considerable surprise.

"Oscar did not want the black canvas and we are waiting for will remove the tantrum". "The prime mover here is Roc Nation Sports. It's so funny now that Oscar does not want the black canvas. And revenge on Saul and I'll take care November 21 if the fight should or should not have a rematch, "he said.

Cotto reiterated he will not bow to pressure from De La Hoya and cataloged as a "silly point" the promoter Alvarez seeks to impose the color of wax when your company is the co-sponsor of the evening will come alive at the Mandalay Events Center Bay.

Golden Boy canvas light blue used on posters under their flag.

"The canvas does not make a difference. It can be color canvas it. Canvas is a ****** point from which we had no knowledge until today (Wednesday). So there are things like this: if the fight ameritase a rematch, there will be revenge, and the canvas is black, period, "he said.

On recent expressions of De La Hoya who on Tuesday accused his lawyer, Gabriel Peñagarícano, if the impediment to the announcement of the lawsuit, Cotto was emphatic that all career decisions are approved by 100 percent for him and that when there are still some details to refine before signing his part of the agreement.

"Here the only thing you notice is the despair that exists on the side of Oscar and now no access to the black canvas. History always has two sides: the actual and convenient. Oscar is the one that counts convenient. It is important to know that here nothing is done without consultation with Miguel Cotto. I do not know if Oscar does the same with his fighter. I trust my working group is made up of Brian Perez, Hector Soto and Gabriel Peñagarícano. Now what I lack is finishing the details of the contract and Oscar him for accepting black canvas Roc Nation "he said.

Cotto came on Wednesday at a press conference in which he provided details of the fifth event of the Maximum Boxing Al series held on Saturday at the Coliseo Hector Sola Bezares city of Caguas.

There he shared with Janiel fighters and Israel Vazquez Rivera who played in the Silver stellar 105-pound title of the World Boxing Council.

He also used to answer questions about the expected fight with Canelo Alvarez and expressions of De La Hoya who said on Tuesday that the fight between Cotto and "Canelo" had not been announced due to a dam of Peñagarícano.

"Ask Oscar de la Hoya what you served, or what earned him the rematch clause for the fight Canelo Mayweather ?. If the fight is given good, therefore, will come a rematch. So there is nothing to tie. There are things we're seeing in the contract, and things we're working on. When everything comes to light, and when things are clarified, the fight will be signed, "he said.


Basically Cotto is putting ODH on blast. Pretty much saying there are two sides to every story... the truth & the convenient story... and that ODH is using the convenient story through the media...

WAR COTTO PUNETA!!!

"Combat with the Tapatio"

I like that!

[Larry the boss]

The color of the damn ring?? really?

[The Problem Child]

NO PROBLEM!

Gennady, his MANDATORY, fights in any ring color of Cotto's preference and NO REMATCH clause!Whatever he wants!

DEAL!??!?

[boliodogs]

I read on boxing scene top headlines that Oscar wants a rematch clause and Cotto refuses to sign with the rematch clause in the contract. I agree with Cotto. No rematch clause should be in the contract. The winner of this fight will want to move on to other fights. Cotto said if the fight is good enough that the fight public demands a rematch then a rematch can be made. An automatic rematch should not be in the contract and Oscar should have faith in Canelo. If Canelo can't beat Cotto the first time then why have a rematch? It's not Cotto or Canelo holding up this fight. It's cautious crybaby Oscar. If Cotto wants a black ring then Oscar should give him a black ring. What difference does it make? How could a black ring give Cotto any advantage? Come on, Oscar, quit holding up this great fight. Drop the rematch clause and give Cotto a black ring and get the damn fight made.
