HBO pissed off with Cotto..

Wow, I have no clue what you guys are complaining about.

They showed a montage of clips to show what a brutal fight it was and what an emotional toll it took on the family of the loser. It wasn't anti-Cotto.

It did to me and some of us here

I was happy with the victory for Tony, but I really didn't like seeing the kids crying; not in the least. But it is a public place and that sort of thing is going to happen, with the cameras there to catch every moment.

Why they had to make a montage of the same things they had already shown several times I don't know.

Cotto is an HBO fighter and is probably under contract to provide a post-fight interview.
HBO is pissed-off beacuse he is less bankable after a loss and there is no guarantee that that they will get in on Tony's next fight

I'm pretty sure Cotto is on a fight to fight basis with HBO or whoever. He is not an HBO fighter. His fight against Paulie wasn't done by HBO and his fight vs Quintana was on Shotime.

I didn't realize people thought HBO was pissed and that's why they showed the kids, I thought HBO was actually mad and they also took issue with this.

I thought it was sad, but indicative of the fight. I mean it was a great fight, obviously heartbreaking. They talked a whole lot about how close Cotto was with his kids, his kids were in the production meetings and everything, I think it was a just a bit of a follow up.

So let me get this straight....

You think that in the minutes immediately after a great fight that featured a fighter (Cotto) that HBO has supported for years and has a great relationship with... that the HBO production team decided on the spot that "Cotto lost and didn't give an interview, so let's rub it in his face by throwing together a quick segment of him getting punched in the face and his family crying!" ??

I'm sorry but that's one of the most outrageous things I've read here in some time. And it's surprising coming from you because your posts are generally very good here. But you're coming off like a sore loser.

Kellerman even said right on the broadcast that it wasn't that Cotto lacked the desire to give an interview, it was just that he was understandably distraught over such a big loss.
