    Who cares?

    Anyway, it's at MSG, so Cotto coming in second will really get the crowd going. And according to all you experts, his entrance will be Cotto's last highlight of the fight. So let him have this.

    Maybe he wants to lure Martinez into a toe2toe slugfest :huh

    Martinez beats him boxing & slugging it out. I think it will be wiser for Cotto to box...That way he will allow any Martinez injuries come out in the later rds...if Cotto has any luck

    Amen. The crap people complain about nowadays. If it wasn't a big deal to Martinez, then why are people complaining about it?

    Sergio actually has said he has a personal grudge against Cotto for being rude to him years ago.

    Then he's just as much as a "diva" as Cotto.

    Cotto knows he's bringing the money to this fight and so is calling the shots. Nothing new there.

    If Martinez wasn't such a f*cking beggar desperately trying to get fighters who can draw who he is certain he could beat into the ring then this wouldn't happen. Honestly I hope this cherry pick goes wrong.

    there are just certain things u don't compromise on.

    the challenger always comes out first.

    you fight at the champions weight.

    respect the champion.

    this isn't a popularity contest. it's boxing.

    Cotto is the biggest diva in sports. He will whine and leave the ring without an interview on a loss. He hammed it up last fight, a win, and spoke of himself in the 3rd person.
