You're right about Cotto...the way he's been talking, I think he'd definitely be on his way out. I wonder how long his contract with Top Rank is? Unless he's willing to pull a Mayweather and buy it out.

The thing with Margarito though is that I seriously doubt that the California (or any other US entity) will give him a license even after the one-year suspension. There's no guarantee...he'd only be allowed to re-apply at that time.

I don't think he'll ever make the major paydays he was on his way to making here, but there's definitely some good money options even by fighting in Mexico.

Mexico City also offered Margarito a job at Taco Hut and have agreed to let him keep 20% of all the drugs he runs back across the border.

cotto does have a buy out clause in his contract if he's not satisfied with they wat he's promoted.De la hoya and mayweather bought their way out when they'ed had enough. golden boy is sittng back and waiting to see whats going to happen.

Cotto is trying to be a promoter himself, so It's just a matter of time before he leaves Top rank and Bob knows this.

Oh yeah, I'm sure Golden Boy would jump immediately at the chance to snatch Cotto away from Arum! I wonder what that would do to Top Rank-Golden Boy relations??? You remember the whole mess with Pacquiao...but this is the boxing business I guess.

Anyway, the whole point of my argument is that too many people in this forum seem to think it's pointless for Margarito to fight in Mexico 'cause there ain't any money in it. Whether they believe it or not, there IS money to be made in sports in Mexico. Many soccer players down there make millions (of dollars) per year, and there've been plenty of big fights put on that've paid out good purses to the fighters.

It may not be the same as here, but there's definitely some options for Margarito if that's the path he chooses to take. Like I said, there's no guarantee he'll be licensed after the one-year suspension is over.

I don't think true mexican boxing fans would go to his fights.
