SAN JUAN, 波多黎各 (五月 31, 2018) – Future Hall of Fame boxer 米格尔·库托 believes that, for him, promoting is even more challenging than fighting.
The living legend retired last December with an incredible 41-6 (33 科斯) 亲纪录, in which he became the only Puerto Rican to capture world titles in four different weights classes, light welterweight through middleweight.
Cotto was 20-6 (16 科斯) 在世界冠军战斗, 16-6 (12 科斯) versus present or past world champions during his illustrious 17-year pro career, including victories against Cesar Bazan, Carlos Maussa,Lovemore N’dou, 兰德尔·贝利,德马库斯科利, Ricardo Torres,保利Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,朱达, 莫斯利, 约书亚·克洛蒂, 尤里·福尔曼, 里卡多·马约加, Antonio Margarito, 塞尔吉奥·马丁内斯 和 丹尼尔Geale.
“We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 岁月, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “现在, we are able to give more attention to our fighters in terms of training.
“Promoting is more complex because there are challenges regarding every facet of an event. 作为战斗机, you concentrate solely on the fight, not all the details involved in promoting a successful event.”

“This pay-per-view card is a very important opportunity for is to showcase a great event,” Cotto added, “as well as a perfect scenario for Acosta to show the world who he is as world champion.
“It is a pleasure for me to give back to boxing what boxing gave me. Seeing our brand grow and fighter development let us know that we are doing things the right way. Our goal is to continue developing the best talent in Puerto Rico and building their brands and legacies.”

Acosta’s success brings back fond memories for Cotto to when he was in a similar situation as a young world champion. “He does bring back memories for me and he proves that hard work pays off,” Cotto concluded. “Tito is living the dream every boxer has when they choose to box as a living. Now is the most challenging chapter for him to expand his reign and build his legacy.”
