Sorry I confused you... I sort of know Cotto and we had a party for him in AC at a club (I posted pics). If the fight is in Vegas, I am saying the party for Cotto (if he wins) will be at studio 54. I didn't contact him regarding the Margo fight.. I will wait till after its announced .
Maybe Arum wants to do a unification for wba & ibf but he's having problems with glove sizes, venue and mandatory defenses.
There is no problem with the gloves, thats already been settled, 8oz. The fight is taking place in Vegas. It's either more money that Cotto is wanting. Like i keep saying, as long as he fights PBF. or they are deciding to duck Margo, and leave him for next year when he might be less dangerous, and lacking some steam. Margo is at his peak NOW. I would hate to think this is the case but it wouldn't surprise me, being that this happens way to often in boxing now days.
Unless Cotto is secretly working on a fight with PBF, it would not look good for him to not take this fight.
Im gonna give Cotto the benefit of the doubt until theres enough evidence showing he ducked him. God I hope Cotto doesnt pull a Floyd.
I don't really see what the big deal is about. The fight is already set. Top Rank already said they expected the press conference/tour to start around May 19th or so. It'll be in Vegas. Cotto is already in training as he said he would start training 2nd week of May. He'll sign the contract when Top Rank irons out the final details on guarantees and PPV issues that was the haggle. It's not a big issue that boxing sites are going to detail except the PR newspaper sites, they'll be the first ones who will break news of his signing on the dotted line. The fight is happening, sit back, relax and just wait.
So Cotto is headed to middleweight? Mayorga hasn't made welter since 2003, and needed horse steroids to make 154 in 2006.
Well that's what the rumors said and I believe they said that it's going to be at Welterweight. Also if you haven't noticed yet, Mayorga might replace Judah for Mosley and I don't think Mosley is going back to Middleweight either. I've also read about the rumors of Mayorga planning to move up to Middleweight again and possibly fighting Pavlik but so far it doesn't seem like he will with all this Mosley/Cotto talk.
