Cotto Quote: "First of all, Bob doesn't know anything because after our contract on February 2011, him and I have not sat down to even speak a word on contract negotiations. We only negotiated with Todd Duboef. Therefore I can care less that he says because this man is elderly and very much a liar". "I have nothing of Bob Arum, nor do I owe him something. He has never given me anything. I worked for what I have. The money Arum invested in Miguel Cotto's career, he made tenfold of what I made. This is a business and since I signed in 2001, I was only a business item in the eyes of Top Rank. What is bothering them if that they cannot make any more money off of me, they will see nothing from me anymore" "One plus One is two in any language. So basically according to their logic, just because I am friends with Todd Duboef, I am supposed to be a moron?" "I am no moron, and I have to be one just to make Top Rank Money?. No, they have done this and worse to other people, it's their practice. 3 Other fighters have left them because of this, Oscar, Mayweather and Me. With all 3 they had the same issue, so you go figure. Time comes where you have to separate" "I Do not have to sit here with my arms crossed and do nothing. Therefore I made my move, they are now very upset and upset only for dollars and cents they will loose"
I think they take 25-30% from Pac.... so go figure, 30% out of 80 million vs. Mayweather.... they make their money...
bobs always been a *****. and cotto does make a point, delahoya , mayweather and cotto all big name stars and all left bob arum, bob is the common denominator in the equation.
Bob arum and hbo pulled all the stops to keep pac hbo even invested in money to keep pac on hbo so i wouldn't worry about pac.
Cotto bolted Top Rank like Chavez Junior. If it's about TR being too greedy then good for Cotto. I am just not sure joining Roc Nation is the best option for Miguel.
