So what better way to cash out on Margo than feeding him to Cotto (who is a damn good fighter, but not elite) and calling it a big fight.
There is no chance in hell that Arum puts Cotto in the ring with Paul Williams. We all remember the Margarito vs. Williams fight and that almost ruined Arum's money making ability with Margarito, which is why he set his next fight with Golden "WTF?" Johnson. There is also no way that Arum puts Cotto in with Mayweather until he has absolutely maxed Cotto's money making factor because he knows that Mayweather will make Cotto look very average.
