Comments Thread For: WBA Defends Miguel Cotto, Feels WBC Made Mistakes

Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, president of the WBA, does not agree with the way the World Boxing Council handled the this week's controversial situation with the Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto.

Hide your wallet Cotto. Hide that fing wallet!
They about to pump you up and bend you over.
At least for a bit less cash!

Stoked that Cotto told them where to shove their cheap ass belt...but I'm losing respect that he was actually willing to give those scum 925k.

spoke to somebody there yesterday and they think the controversy raised awareness of the event and will help the PPV buys.

Definitely more buys just due to this controversy.
