Another fighter that you promote and is causing a big stir among the Hispanic boxing fans, Jose Luis Castillo. What are your plans for Castillo? He is talking about fighting sometime in April for a tune up fight before the Corrales fight.
Yes, he is going to fight Corrales in June 3rd and then the winner of that fight will be in line to fight Miguel Cotto later on this year. Cause I am all for making the best and biggest possible fights. To piddle around with appearance fights doesn’t make any sense. The public gets bored. The public wants to see competition with top level fighters.
To put Castillo against a fighter like Cotto which you also promote. They are both your fighters and some might say that’s insane. Cotto, is he ready for a fighter like Castillo?
He thinks he is. He has a manager, they make their own decisions. You know, the fact that I promote both of them just makes it easier to make the match but I am not the manager of either one of them

In another interview,at a later date,which I cannot find at the moment,Arum stated Cotto would definitely be fighting Castillo as Castillo had stated that the 3rd Chico fight would be his last at 135.
