    Default Cotto vs Heiland. Thats respectable imo for an optional

    He just knocked out Macklin and got himself into the #1 behind the Kazak and is a true middle and tricky southpaw. Not sure its worth the 16.6 million Cotto gets for the payday but that's here nor there I suppose.

    Good for Cotto

    Looks like it will a rematch of the gimpy version of Martinez, based on Heiland's style. I wont say its a horrible fight and we should force him to fight Golovkin just so Golovkin doesn't have to fight the Monroe jr.s of the world but... it just looks obvious now that Cotto wants to make money up till the last second before GGG is forced on him.

    It wouldn't bother me as much if these A side/ B side whiners did so without twisting the rules and stifling the sport. If your as popular as you say, you don't need the belt. So lay the strap down and let the people who value it, fight for it and fulfill their destiny. Which is what the sport used to be about.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    This is a challenging fight for Cotto, maybe he is trying to see how he will be against a fit and strong middleweight.

    I just want to see Cotto fighting regularly.

    If he's gonna duck GGG and maybe Canelo,it's as good a fight as any I suppose.

    $16.6 million for this fight means he could keep fighting these type of opponents.

    He has to fight the Kazak after this (if the Wbc does what it said they would) or lose the strap.

    Buts he's got the right to cash in if he likes just as everyone has before him. 16.6 is a little steep lol but thats not his fault.

    $16.6 million?

    That's more than double he made against Floyd. Whoever reported that must have got a bit carried away with the figures, lol

    Maybe that is why he signed with the new promoter because he was guaranteed that amount?

    His new promoter guaranteed him $16m per bout? What's his name - Sheikh Mohammed? I assume that includes stud duties?

    He just signed a 50 million 3 fight deal about 2 weeks ago and this is 1 of 3 making it 16.6
