Would Cotto want to fight somebody he has to pay a proper chunk of change to, who could easily end up beating him and who isn't very well known in America when he can have an exciting looking fight against somebody well known, cheap and much easier to beat and look good against to line him up for another big PPV fight?
Why would Cotto have to put his hand in his pocket? Realistically where is Cottos big PPV coming from and is it going to match the kind of money Eddie will chuck his way for coming over here to fight Brook?

With Khan out the picture Cotto at 154 is Eddies preference for sure. It's probably Brooks too but that leaves a bit of a sting ditching his belt.
