Short and sweet: " In Bob Arum's universe, 1 + 1 is not 2. He is a sheisty bastard who has played this game on Oscar, Floyd and eventually me as well... For this reason, Miguel Cotto sees NO value in continuing this business relationship and has chosen to move the fck on."
Well you knew he'd play that card because it's a popular opinion and fans will eat it up.
If Cotto got a better deal at Roc Nation then good for him but he can't say that Arum and Top Rank did nothing for him.
He got easily schooled by Austin Trout and was on his way to gatekeeperhood before he went back to TR and they built him back up into a shot at the middleweight title against a crippled opponent after beating a complete bum in his previous fight.
They basically orchestrated this stage of his career where he is now able to command huge money. He should be a bit more grateful.
Their is a saying in filipino called "otang na loob" (debt of gratitude). I am a Cotto fan but lets face it, he has none when it comes to his relationship with TR, they resurrected him from the ashes after that Trout bout.
Bro, anyone siding with a promoter like Arum, is a bonafide hater. Pay them no mind. It's the same usual suspects who are uncomfortable with Cotto smiling wide and enjoying life.

Nah man, Cotto resurrected himself from a simple loss against Trout. Top Rank understood Cotto was still good money and Cotto did his thing.
Lets see where loyal Arum fighters wind up in 10 years. Cotto is not slow like some champs out there.
