Comments Thread For: Cotto vs. Marquez Negotiations Continue To Play Out

[HeroBando]

Marquez wants 147 with a rehydration clause?! Maybe he thinks taking the CW King title from Drainelo counts as belt #5?

Remember when Cotto was never gonna disrespect his body like that, when Pac was offering 150 years back. Cotto either got smaller going up to Mw, or he only disrespects his body for opponents with bum knees

I will watch this fight, but I would love negotiations to fall apart and I am still hopeful of Cotto vs Bradley. However, Marquez is being a bit rediculous. He wants Cotto to come down to 147 and have a rehydration clause. Now if he needs that many advantages to fight, then he shouldn’t be fighting Cotto. But it is far more likely that this is Marquez hedging his bets to get more money. Either way like I said hopefully Cotto says no bueno, and moves on. Cotto vs. Bradley, thats the fight!

Catch weights are bitch moves and it's even worse with a rehydration clause.

I don't think money is the problem.

I think Marquez wanted 20 million for pacman rematch. I mean Cotto cant make 147 so they have to pay Marquez a pretty penny for him go get the fight made a 149 or 150.

money grab. marquez can get that by rematching pacquiao. and for cotto. the 154lb list is off the charts.

[Damn Wicked]

Cotto better be careful which catch weight he accepts. He hasn't been fighting at those lower weights for awhile and he's older now. He doesn't know how his body will respond to that weight now days. It's possible he comes into the fight drained and weakened. Marquez is being a little weasel trying to get one over on Cotto, looking to catch him at a disadvantage.

Marquez takes him out with beautiful boxing skills...which are way better than Cotto's...regardless of any catch-weight or clauses.

Marquez would get killed at this point. Hang up your gloves.

I guess Roc Nation is not ****ing wit' Haymon yet. I can't see how Cotto wouldn't be able to get Danny Garcia to agree to a fight @ 150. At this point, I think Keith Thurman would take the fight @ 150! Maybe Cotto should call Bob Arum! I think Bradley would take the fight @ 150!

Marquez is going to juice that's all this fight tells me... I think Cotto wins if there is VADA testing and easily... Marquez doesn't have the power without Memo's roids to even threaten Miguel... but the fight is pointless at this point and just a fight between past-their prime names.
