HBO pissed off with Cotto..

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.
