stupid thread.......and this is like your 10th-15th thread bashing/blaming pbf for whats wrong in the sport
Moments ago, Bob Arum of Top Rank informed ***********.com that a fight between WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and Ricardo Mayorga is possible, but not for July. Arum said the plan is still for Cotto to fight Alfonso Gomez on April 12, and then fight the winner of the undercard bout between IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron and Antonio Margarito, in July. He did confirm minor talks taking place for a Cotto-Mayorga meeting, and the possibilty of the fight taking place after Cotto's July date. But, Arum did say Mayorga could come into play for July if the winner of Margarito-Cintron is injured and unable to move forward with a July fight with Cotto. "Mayorga is a definite possibility and he is on Miguel Cottos dance card. You have to remember that Miguel will probably fight four times this year. There was some talk. Mayorga is an interesting fight for Miguel, but not for July," Arum said. "Mayorga is a candidate (for July) if the winner of Margarito and Cintron is injured. If that were to happen, then Mayorga is a possibility for the July spot." After informing Arum of the report coming from El Nuevo Dia, where Mayorga claims the fight with Cotto is a done deal for July, the veteran promoter said: There is some truth to what Mayorga is saying. The only thing I take exception to is the fight taking place in July, Arum said.
I know that Cotto is lock with Gomez, becuase PBF went ahead an agreed with the stupid rematch with ODLH...Cotto was ready for PBF, and PBF once again opted not to deal with Cotto and bypass him... This antics from PBF are getting old, and while Margo and Cintron are doing it, and Cotto is willing and able...PBF is missing in action...
Cotto is set to fight Gomez. The winner of Margo-Cintron fights the winner of Cotto-Gomez. At the minimum thats 3 months between fights. So that will put us in July. If Cotto beats Margo/Cintron, he becomes the IBF champion. And he will have to forfill his mando. Or vacate and so far, we've seen Cotto defend against those mandos without hassle. And thats 3 months minimum. That would leave us at Oct. And if he made a fight with Floyd after that, that leaves a minimum until next year. This is the bare minimum. Fights can take longer to make, more rest inbetween etc etc. And if Margo/Cintron winner is hurt. Then Cotto-Mayorga, Cotto waits for winner to heal or fights the Winner of Margo/Cintron vs Clottey.
What are you talking about? Cotto is fighting in April instead of March because he was waiting to see if DLH would fight him in May.
As you know, Arum was already making plans for Cotto before Mayweather-Hatton. And also, after Mayweather-Hatton, Evangelista Cotto was saying that they would prefer to fight De la Hoya.
