Miguel Cotto Offered $15 Mill Guaranteed in Martinez Fight @ MSG??

[HamAndEgger]

Sources revealed that Cotto and Top Rank already have June 7th reserved in Madison square garden. The event is scheduled to take place the day before the traditional Puerto Rican Day Parade.

An alleged attractive offer from the leaders of the MSG, whose president Hank Ratner, made Top Rank and Cotto's team look towards a celebration in the historic site.

For this projected fight with Martinez, MSG would be used to its maximum capacity to provides room for 23,000 fans, as happened in 2007 when Cotto made a second defense of his then-welterweight title against Zab Judah.

It was further stated that the offer of Top Rank surpassed the offer by the CEO of GBP, Richard Schaefer.

Cotto could receive a guaranteed purse of $15 million without counting his participation in the sales of 'pay-per-view' which could make those numbers double, something he can't get with Alvarez, coming off a loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in what was his first fight on PPV.

The final announcement of Cotto and his team could occur next week.

Does make a bit of sense why Cotto went to China for the Pacquiao fight.

Cotto would have signed if this was the case, after this came out his people said they were in nort in a rush to make their next fight......


Dont believe this one bit..........

I don't doubt that this is what they want to do and is what the most substantiated rumor was. $15 million is a lot guaranteed for Cotto though, I wonder what predicted PPV sales are...I think the overall numbers it would do is probably less than most think.

I would love to see this fight though, hope it gets made. I would much prefer: Cotto-Martinez, than Cotto-Alvarez.

cotto is sitting real nice with this bidding war going on between gbp and tr for his next fight. i really prefer cotto-sergio, the atmosphere of this fight with the ricans and argentinians at msg regardless of whose on the undercard, 23,000 tickets will be sold. im just waiting for the confirmation for this shyt to get done, i will indeed be booking my flight back to the city.

Arum allegedly offered Cotto like 15 million for a Manny rematch, which Cotto later came out to stat was a blatant lie he only offered like 8, you think he gets 15 mill for a old Sergio, trust me if Cotto would have got offered 15 million excluding ppv revenue he would have signed......
