    o

    Don't tell me why this is also the reason he didn't bother to hire no real trainer for the pacman fight:patsch

    bigger purse would have meant the trainer expense gets higher

    He did the right thing, I would not be paying him just to be partially trained, and why does he need to come out and talk about this unless he has an agenda of his own...not very professional.:nono

    he is changing his story now i thought it was just the andy lee thing

    cotto wanted him there full time and he could not

    now its money? they should put their differences asside and get the job done on 12/3

    knowing how cotto is, he will not go back on his decision sometimes you need to put pride on the side

    I thought with Steward Cotto stood more of a chance as he always teaches his fighters to box more. Then again this is a Cuban trainer and we all know they normally teach win on points so maybe its not so bad.

    Still Cotto gets KOd in 7.

    This may be apart of the whole situation. Steward was only going to be there for 5-6 weeks of training, when Cotto needs a full 8 week training camp. Schedules conflicted and as a result, Cotto has moved on and Steward has moved on.

    anyone knows how much or what percentage do fighters like cotto pays for a trainer like that of manny's caliber? assuming cotto is making around $2 to $3M guarantee for this fight.

    he did the same thing to Miguel Diaz and his uncle. He still owns money to his uncle.

    Steward seems like a bit of a merc, he has major commitments between his fighters and HBO. I think he does not give many of his fighters the attention they would want.

    Steward doesn't mind relaxing training schedules

    if someone feels like they need an off day, he'll grant it

    This confirmed to me that Manny isn't worth ****. Changing his story to bad mouth Cotto after Cotto said nothing bad about him.

    He's talking about it because he's jealous to some degree.
