    New developments from Dan Rafael...

    Damn..not good. Hopefully, HBO comes on board. I know they were a little slow to come around for Foreman-Cotto, and that fight was originally headed to PPV as well.


    Update From Steve Kim :

    Cotto vs martirosyan is the best fight but if arum will make it a PPV fight then the attractive fight is cotto vs mayorga.

    yup i wonder if mayorga's trash talking would actually get to cotto. Cotto is usually pretty calm before the fight. I wonder if mayorga can push his buttons and pissed him off. He pissed off delahoya:lol:

    I remember Malignaggi got under his skin a little and had him trash talking more than any other opponent. Cotto told Paulie after he was done with him he'd be back to fighting at club shows and ballrooms. Which is funny because Paulie's first fight after Cotto was at the Hammerstein Ballroom. :lol:

    lol paulie could be entertaining before the fight but he has no power to make fights really exciting. I like mayorga's style better cuz he does have power and i like how he can make any fights interesting. I expect a brawl if this fights happens but i do hope arum has another plan.

    Cotto vs Margarito 2...Now that's PPV material.

    How is HBO not offering money for Cotto-Vanes? That is a better fight then Martinez-Lee and Cotto is much more popular.

    Yeah, it's especially strange considering Foreman-Cotto was the highest rated telecast of the year. I don't know...maybe Showtime will step up and save the day.

    Why the hell is Arum insisting on going against Martinez-Lee the weekend before St. Patrick's Day? He could do a week earlier or a week later and it would solve his problems. Normally I respect how Arum moves, but not on this one.

    And I'm 99% positive it won't be Cotto-Vanes. Vanes will KO Cotto. Miguel's shot and was flinching when Foreman landed. Unless Arum's finally making a move with Vanes as his star at 154, which would actually be a smart move being that he's a more dependable talent than Chavez. I'd pick Vanes over Angulo, Lara, and Kirkland too.
