    seems to me that a lot of fighters want a piece of Miguel Cotto these days and now Mikey Garcia wants him next.

    so what gives?

    here's the list of fighters that want Cotto or have been mentioned wanting to fight him.
    -Kell Brook
    -David Lemieux
    -Mikey Garcia
    -Jermell Charlo
    -Amir Kahn



    and the list is growing

    Money, they see he's slowing down and he announced he's only fighting one more time.

    Cotto wanted to fight JMM, but JMM wanted none of that.

    He's one of the top 5 monetary draws in boxing.
    People that fight Cotto usually get career high paydays.

    Aging former superstar and big name that is a HOF-lock and longshot for ATG. But mainly the name and pay day.

    Aside from the obvious answer ($$$) at this point Cotto is low risk high reward. A "W" looks good on the resume even though he's well past his prime.
