    What about all of my troll alts? Will I have to give those up in the event of a Cotto loss?

    I think this is a money ploy. If Arum wants the card he is gonna have to find some more money to "motivate" Cotto to fight outside of NYC. :)

    Cotto's going to do himself harm among the fans and HBO if he refuses to go on with the fight because it's not in NY.

    Sure, he signed for a fight in NY, but what about the countless fans out there who want to see this fight? Many of whom won't make $5 million (or whatever he's getting paid) in their lives? People will remember the fight not taking place because of him being stubborn. HBO has already promoted this fight for awhile, they surely won't be happy.

    For what it's worth, I have a feeling it's either a ploy for more $$$, or something that he'll be talked out of.

    Cotto might have gotten his way out just like Ortiz, Cotto talked all that **** and the pressure to back that up must be excruciating. What if Margos hands on his skull feel the same as they did the last fight,will Cotto wilt and shrink again?

    I see no reason why he wouldnt fight somewhere else, he is getting paid, its a ring and its his opponent with gloves on WTF....I see it as a way out for him. I will not support this mother****er anymore if he pulls this bull****! after all the hard training, all he should care about are the glove wraps, a ring and redemption, nothing else. I will withdraw my support from Cotto if he pulls this ***** move and Ive been a supporter from the begining.

    Are you saying that he wouldn't be able to get 15,000 if he fought there the next time? What about those 15,000 who have bought tickets right now? Screw those people I suppose right? Who cares, they spent tons for plane tickets, hotels suites, tickets and that money would go down the drain but screw them? I find it odd how Cotto wants the fight to be where it was implied in the contract yet he's the bad person. Top Rank fighters are routinely criticized for being "puppets" and "followers" of whatever Bob Arum tells them. Cotto in particular is called a "robot". Yet, the times that he decides to speak against Top Rank and their shenanigans, he is bad? Also, it's constantly said that maybe if Pacquaio had the guts to just tell Bob Arum "I want to fight Mayweather", he would get the fight....Cotto demonstrates by challenging Top Rank's stance and he's a the bad person? This is why boxing fans are some of the worst, they ask for fighters to stand up to promoters, they do the exact thing and they still can't win.

    As the man who dealt with cheating first hand? Makes sense.
