Miguel Cotto: "I have no problem vacating the title"


Caguas, Puerto Rico .- The Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto said that next Monday will start his training for his fight with the filipino Manny Pacquiao on November 14 at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) .

Cotto, Welter Champion of the World Boxing Organization (OMB), explained that its preparation will begin with morning runs and then be between two and three days a week at his gym in the neighborhood Bairoa in Caguas, a city adjacent to San Juan.

The scuffle is expected to be held at 145 pounds (66 kilos).

The Puerto Rican, however, indicated that you do not mind if the directors of OMB withdrew the championship because they will fight in another weight that is not the Welt (147 pounds - 67 kilos).

"I have no problem vacating the title. The title is second fidle to me now. If there is a problem with handing the title, we will vacate it. Then other opportunities will open to get it back," he said.

Cotto and Pacquiao made in the coming months on a tour to promote his fight for the cities of Los Angeles, New York and San Juan.

Cotto, on the other hand, was launched today with new designs of T-shirts' Fearless' (No Fear), which will begin selling in October under the Ecko company, led by Effy Zinkin.

The boxer admitted that the clothing is more "developed" as that first launched in February 2008, when it sold 5 thousand shirts, so that since October, will go on sale about 20 mil.

"We will have four new designs that are novel and liked by all customers. Without fear we accept the challenges with courage and will continue," said Cotto.

Zinkin, meanwhile, acknowledged that although he has worked with many major artists, there is a personality with "more proud" that Cotto.

"Miguel is planning a fearless person. Outside of the ring represent their country with dignity and style. It is an inspiration and a model to follow," he said.

Also, the general manager of Ecko MMA, Eric Samson, Cotto described as "the boxer who gives more excitement in boxing," because "no rejects fights, but accepts that fights the fans like."

"Puerto Rico is a country with a culture of warriors. Fearless is what exactly is Michael. There is nothing to what he will issue," he said.

Several Puerto Rican athletes like NBA players Jose Juan Barea, the boxing world champions Ivan Calderon and Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez, the Pan-American gymnastics champion Luis Felipe 'Tingui' Vargas and Asuncion Ocasio taekwondo competitor, will be among representatives of the brand.

  3. Fearless huh. That's why you'll vacate the title instead of rather than putting it on the line? That seems fear to me, fear to lose the title on a midget. Money is not the problem cause the pacman and Bob could take care of that. Jajaja. Don't rob boxing the history of having it's very first 7 division titlist. Grow some real latino cajones!!

  10. Yeah Cotto can drop the title, Pacquiao can then drop the fight.

    There's no reason for Pacquiao to fight at 145 if there's nothing to gain.

  18. I told you so. Cotto already received and spent part of the bribed money he received, that's why he cannot put his belt on the line against Pacquiao and now he's willing to vacate his WBO title. $1-2M bribe is nothing to a multi-million dollar promoter to lose whoc cares much about history. Well, you don't have to junk your worthless belt bcoz Manny Pacquiao is cancelling the fight.

  19. COTTO (LICE)IF THATS THE WAY YOU DEFEND BOXING TITLE THEN YOU ARE A SHAME TO PUERTO RICANS. BE A MAN OF DIGNITY AS A TRUE WARRIOR OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE JUDGE BY HISTORY AS A GAY AND WEAKHEARTED CHAMPION. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS TANTAMOUNT AS "NO MAS" ACT.

  20. sorry Pactards.. Cotto will give up the WBO belt

  21. Manny,

    Buy the belt before fight night, then after a beat down of Cotto, give it back to the Baricuda and say "here is your precious belt back, I DON'T want it anymore!" See if he Puerto Rican takes it back, that biatch...

  22. Bob Arum use to be the promoter of Dela Hoya. Hmm Dela Hoya plays golf with Cotto. Bob arum accused of being a RACIST by Robert Lee, the former president of the International Boxing Federation. Lee said of Arum "I pin the racism charge on him because he once told me: `We will let the Blacks and the Latinos fight in the ring and we will count the money on the outside'." I think PAC is just being s c r e w e d out of the title.

  23. even the best welterweight PBF choose Pacquiao over Cotto hehehe. Cotto I cant blame him for being afraid. No title that means he's afraid no if's or but's about it. The world will judge Cotto as the MOST COWARD BOXER IN HISTORY!!!!

  27. Cotto-Pacquiao fight may not happen at all. Team Pacquiao, based on unconfirmed report from the Phils., may want to break away from Bob Arum Top Rank Promotions. During the negotiations, team Pacquiao assumed that the title is at stake @145lbs that's why they did not ask and Bob Arum failed to inform them early. Mosley may have a chance for Pacquiao.

  28. IF PACQUIAO WANTS TITLE FIGHT, FIGHT COTTO AT 147LBS. PACGAY WANTS A BELT FOR A CATCHWEIGHT, IN YOUR DREAMS. YOU ARE A P4P #1 BUT NOT WANT TO FIGHT A FAIR FIGHT AND WANTS 147 WELTERWEIGHT. WITH A DEHYDRATED COTTO. IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT BE EQUAL TO YOUR SELF. YOU ARE A CHAMPION ONLY @ CATCHWEIGHT.
