Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito - Pacquiao at Ringside

Jul 18, 2008

This transcript is a continuation of Manny Pacquiao vs De La Hoya - Bob Arum Transcript. Bob Arum mentioned before that by luck Pacquiao will go to Las Vegas to watch the Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito fight. Here's what Bob Arum has to say about the possibility of De La Hoya fighting either Pacquiao or Cotto:


Dennis Principe: Well, of course Mr. Arum, one thing that makes you busy this days is one of the biggest fight is set to happen next week. Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito. Of course Miguel Cotto is touted as the next superstar of the sports. But many beleives that Margarito would be a tough fight for Miguel.

Bob Arum: It would be a real tough fight. I mean, it's almost you have two Gattis who has the energy of Manny Pacquiao fight each other. This fighters are gonna go, go for as long as on one of them drops. They have such stamina and ability. I mean, this is fierce some fight, you know how good a fight it is when each fighters calls the other guy a great fighter. I mean, it's so refreshing to hear Margarito did a conference call today and called Cotto a great fighter. Yesterday, on a conference call Cotto said Margarito is a great fighter. So you know in the ring, each is gonna bring their best.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: That's what you like about Pacquiao also. He's very, very respectful of his opponent.

Bob Arum: That's what he should do, I mean be a sportsman. You want people who give respect to their opponents. In the ring, do what they have to do with. Now, De La Hoya was always like that. He never disrespected his opponent. Manny is a great gentleman, so are Cotto and Margarito.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: Between the both of us. I don't think De La Hoya would like to fight Cotto.

Bob Arum: Well, I don't know, I can't read his mind. I really don't know. A lot will depend on how Cotto looks against Margarito. 'Cause Margarito he doesn't want to fight Margarito, 'cause he doesn't want to fight another Mexican. So I don't know but I think that there would be a good chance that Oscar would prefer the fight with Manny Pacquiao, I would agree with that.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: On Pacquiao and De La Hoya, if Mayweather Sr. gonna handle De La Hoya, and Roach handle Pacquiao, add another intriguing dimension to the fight. It's just Manny and Oscar

Bob Arum: Yes, it is, but Mayweather and Roach they were never met professionally as fighters.

Dennis Principe: How about the Promoters, I don't think there's a problem with you and Oscar, Mr. Arum?

Bob Arum: No. When the contracts are drawn out for the fight, and promoters have their signs printed, one promoter have to show up in the ring, you know, lose that animosity to maximize your revenue.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: Mr. Arum, obviously Freddie Roach said something which I think is little true that Oscar feels a little bitter about Manny Pacquiao because he signed up with you.

Bob Arum: That is not true. Oscar knows that.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: That's not true?

Bob Arum: No, no. Oscar is a businessman. And no, there's not truth to it, as far as mentioning the fight. It makes sense to make the fight in a good economic terms. That is not Oscar at all, trust me.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: As Freddie Roach said if anybody can get anything done that gentleman is Bob Arum. And I'm sure you can get it done.

Bob Arum: Well, let's see first. I haven't gone to the full options yet 'cause I have to talk to Manny. And I have the opporunity next week, meanwhile we have a rest period 'cause Richard Schaeffer who does business for Golden Boy will be leaving tonight for vacation and won't be back until the Cotto fight. So we have a little time to catch our breath, and talk to De La Hoya, before we get down to negotiating. 'Cause that's the way I'm being directed to go.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: You said yesterday, with the changes of lifestyle with Pacquiao, thousands upon thousands greeted him when he went to the provinces typhoon and gave away money and food near a Catholic church. Manny attend to the needy, you know it was a tremendous gesture on his part, the people responded to him in a big way. And some people said "even if I don't get anything from you, seeing you would be good enough.

Bob Arum: Yes, he's a real caring person, and he is certainly so in the Philippines. And remember he didn't started at the top, 'cause he started form a very humble beginning. He is a truly the man to beat.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: And you know, the thing about him Mr. Arum is that about 6 to 8 years ago, when he was just a young kid on a show that I did, and he told Juan Rosario and myself, I want to enter politics and public service because I want to help my people. And then, he said that a long, long time ago, long before he was a champion.

Bob Arum: Well, I think certainly that's one of his goals. Certainly that burns in his heart, and that is why he's the person and in a lot of ways that's the fighter that he is. Because he has a heart and bigger than his body. That makes a great fighter and a great person and future great politician.

Dennis Principe: Allright, and gentlemen, I would like to continue this show but we're running out of time, so before we end, Mr. Arum the Cotto Margarito fight would be shown here in the Philippines maybe you'd like to invite them to witness another great card not only for the Philippines, for the US, but for the rest of the whole world, actually.

Bob Arum: Yes. Absolutely. This card has spectacular cards and one of the fight in the card would be super bantamweight between Adam Carrera of California, who would fight the pride of the Philippines, another fantastic Filipino fighter coming up and coming to providence, Bernabe Concepcion. And Manny Pacquiao would be at ringside Saturday night, cheering on his countrymen, and as a matter of fact, the manager of Bernabe Concepcion and watching with interest the Cotto Margarito fight.

Dennis Principe: Allright, Mr. Ronnie, thank you very much too for your time.

Ronnie Nathanielsz: Thank you very much. It's always a pleasure to talk to Mr. Arum. First met him in 1975, met him in 1976 and he still the same.

Bob Arum: No, I wasn't born yet back then.

Dennis Principe: Thank you very much for your time Mr. Arum.

Bob Arum: Mabuhay.

    será lo que sea, pero en el ring se miro quien es quien, le partio la madre a cotto (un gran peleador), al igual que sanchez a gomez, y otros por nombrar solo a algunos, debemos respetarnos, ya que somos superpotencia los dos paises en boxeadores, tanto boricuas, como mexicanos

    El que dijo que los boricuas somos come mierdas, que sigan envidiando porque Cotto toda via sigue siendo el mejor, el no tuvo la curpa de que le jugaran sucio, ademas esto no se trata de banderas, se trata de boxeo.

    Al idiota que dijo que Margarito se dopo, primero informate! despues de la pelea margarito se hizo una prueba de sangre, porque? porque apenas se había terminado la pelea y ya lo estaban acusando los medios de puerto rico.Por cierto que claro que la prueba dio negativa. Cotto perdio, es un gran peleador y lo respetamos. Deja de dar excusas de el porque Cotto perdio, ni el mismo se excusa ni le quita nada a Margarito por su victoria. Por respeto al Ex. Campeón te deberías callar la boca! La revancha es algo que podemos esperar el próximo año…si es que Cotto quiere la revancha. Seria una gran pelea, para haber si asi ….pendejos como tu dejan de llorar. Respeten a Cotto, porque no es el quien dice que Margarito se dopo, son pendejos como TU!!!!!!!

    Viva el Tornado de Tijuan!

    dicen las estadisticas que cuando iba a boxear margo con cotto margo se metio alrededor de 10 burritos,por cuando cotto lo azotaba margo hacia iiiiiihhhhhhh,uuuuhhhhhh y cotto se confundio y no sabia con quien estaba boxeando.Buen el caso es raro porque el relinchaba,iiiiiiihhhh,ooooohhhhh.Por eso gano la pelea ya que en E.U es prohibido maltratar un animal,pero el burro hacia iiiihhhh,ooooohhhh.Otros dicen que el entrenador amarroa margo en el parkimg lot y se trajo al burro para el ring,iiiihhhh,ooooohhhhhh.

    mira eso y que margo.10 boxeadores juntos como margo no hacen uno igual a Cotto.Solamente piensa que fue el momento de margo lo unico que el tiene es el upper nada mas el resto es barre campo.He estado viendo la pelea una y otra vez y no me canso de verla,pero Cotto sabe cual es el punto debil de margo.Estoy seguro que Cotto a analizado muchos videos de margo y Cotto a observado lo mismo que yo he observado.Ponte a ver como Cotto le a ganado a mejores boxeadores que margo,mas fuertes,con pegadas mas duras y no lo han noqueado.El que sabe de boxeo sabe de lo que hablo,pero el que no sabe,solamente habla mierda.Comentarios sin sentido,que no tiene nada que ver con el boxeo.Ponte a pensar Tyson cuando enfrento a Douglas,Tyson lo tumbo,noimporta lo grande que sea el oponente,aqui lo que vale es su destrezas,habilidad y pegada y Cotto tiene todo en combinacion,jamas por mas grande que sea un boxeador o fuerte va a resistir unos golpes solidos.Mis creditos 100% para Cotto campeon mundial y es el mejor libras*libras.Cotto,Cotto,Cotto que viva P.R. te guste o no te duela o no P.R. pa encima,BORICUA DE PURA CEPA.

    Es verdad el amargao es una porqueria solamenta observalo bien lo unico que tiene es el gancho y lo demas es barre campo.

    Cuidao!Se estan saliendo los punos del amargao por la internet,salte de la computadora.Alguien dijo que el amargao peleaba con cualquiera y ahora los guantes del amargao son tan fuerte que se salen por la internet.

    Por ahi dicen que cuando margo se hizo las pruebas de sangre que salio negativo,pero como siempre el dinero es el que habla y mantiene las cosas en silencio.Nadie sabe lo que pasa en la mesa solamente el negociante.De que haya salido negativo en sus pruebas yo estoy 100% seguro que eso es totalmente falso.Margo no pudo haber salido negativo en sus pruebas nadie va a resistir esos guantes poderosos de Cotto.6 rounds consecutivos reciviendo golpes sin parar,no senores no suenen con pajaritos prenao.Desde lejos se puede ver lo que hay oculto para que el que sabe de lo que estamos hablando.Por favor sean realistas suena que hay un gato encerrado y el tiempo lo dira.

    Tienes razon ya Cotto perdio,pero que Margo se prepare mas duro ahora para la revancha porque el tornado va a quedar como zona de dasastre sino se prepara mejor que nunca.Cotto no va a volver a cometer el mismo error!Que viva P.R.
