Cotto didn't just get beaten down by GGG.

these promoters got to be in panic mode. used to be so easy all u had to do was offer a fight and u got the opponent locked up for years now fighters are like no thanks ill take all the money i earn thank you very much

Oscar ****ed up cottos last fight by trying to use cottos name and the allure of fighting him to try and build up his dwindling stable of fighters. Now we're stuck with cotto vs Sadam Ali because he wouldn't agree to let these dudes fight cotto without agreeing to sign with golden boy.

RJJr did his own thing either.
Would he have signed with Top Rank, he would be known more than Tyson and would have made 20 Times more money

In general that is true. And Tyson is a bad example cause his promoter was robbing him blind. But really, who career is T.R or GB blowing up right now. Take away Canelo who is only marketed to the Mexican in which he already have in his back pocket anyway...

Boxing need to start over fresh marketed on basic tv and only a real PPV fight should be a PPV fight.

One of the most realist statements on this post

I'm glad that fighters like Mikey Garcia and Errol Spence are trying to do something about the stranglehold that certain promoters have on boxing.

spence made a mistake by not signing in my opinion...dude beats up cotto his stock goes up big time plus 2-3 yrs later get canelo.

Beating Cotto at the time meant nothing.

He would have been a fool to sign a multi fight deal with a sinking ship like GBP just for a shot at a washed-up Cotto.

Cotto went hunting for some WWs didn't he? Out of all the talent @ 154, why did he have to find a WW?
