well Arum could be using Cotto to buy Chavez jr time.
Martinez is Chavez' mandatory but Martinez can choose not to exercise that right. if Martinez fights Cotto at 154, it would give the WBC a great excuse to strip Martinez of the "Diamond Belt", thus eliminating Martinez' threat to Chavez.
Chavez has many more years left to be milked, whereas Cotto is on his way out. Arum sacrifices Cotto in order to save Chavez.
plus Martinez and Cotto do have a personal beef
