As his fight against Manny Pacquiao approaches, Miguel Cotto is the side dish so far in Las Vegas. That's for the fans, media and even his own promoter. Cotto arrived at the MGM Grand in Sin City to a lot less fanfare compared to his opponent. Conspicuously absent was his promoter Bob Arum, who is seen in this Pacman arrival video smiling from ear-to-ear.
One has to wonder what Arum's relationship with Cotto and his camp is considering Pacman is the focus of his attention this week. Plus there was the interesting way Arum backed Antonio Margarito around the time when he was nailed for cheating wiith concrete fists before the Shane Mosley fight. It's hard find anyone who believes that Margarito didn't do the same thing before he severely beat up Cotto in their July of 2008 fight.
Arum did turn on the charm during today's prefight press conference stating that Cotto may not be the main attraction but he's one of two great fighters who'll be in the ring on Saturday night. He said the enormity of promotion was not possible without the the prefight efforts of Cotto at various locations around the world.
