SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (მაისი 31, 2018) – Future Hall of Fame boxer Miguel Cotto believes that, for him, promoting is even more challenging than fighting.
The living legend retired last December with an incredible 41-6 (33 Kos) pro record, 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 Kos) მსოფლიო სათაური იბრძვის, 16-6 (12 Kos) versus present or past world champions during his illustrious 17-year pro career, including victories against Cesar Bazan, Carlos Maussa,lovemore N'dou, Randall Bailey,DeMarcus Corley, Ricardo Torres,Paulie Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,ZAB იუდას, შეინ მოსლის, Joshua Clottey, იური მამასახლისი, Ricardo Mayorga, Antonio Margarito, სერხიო მარტინესი და Daniel Geale.
“We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 წელი, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “ახლა, 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. როგორც მოიერიშე, you concentrate solely on the fight, not all the details involved in promoting a successful event.”

“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.”
The 27-year-old Acosta is on a mission to become a Puerto Rican boxing icon like Cotto, Tito Trinidad, Wilfredo Gomez, Hector Camacho, Wilfredo Benitez and so many other greats from this fertile island.

Now is the most challenging chapter for him to expand his reign and build his legacy.”
