聖胡安, 波多黎各 (五月 31, 2018) – Future Hall of Fame boxer 米格爾·庫托 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) 親紀錄, 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) 在世界冠軍戰鬥, 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, 蘭德爾·貝利,德馬庫斯科利, Ricardo Torres,保利Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana,朱達, 莫斯利, Joshua Clottey, 尤里·福爾曼, 里卡多·馬約加, Antonio Margarito, 塞爾吉奧·馬丁內斯 和 丹尼爾Geale.
“We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 歲月, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “現在, 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. 作為戰鬥機, you concentrate solely on the fight, not all the details involved in promoting a successful event.”
Cotto Promotions is presenting La Batalla: Acosta vs. Buitrago, along with H2 Entertainment, in association with DIRECTV Puerto Rico, 六月 16日 在付費觀看, live from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Center in Hato Rey, 波多黎各.

World Boxing Organization Light Flyweight World Champion Tito Acosta 17-1, 17 科斯) will make his first title defense against four-time world title challenger 卡洛斯 “Chocorroncito” Buitrago (30-3-1, 17 科斯), of Nicaragua, in the 12-round main 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.”
The 27-year-old Acosta is on a mission to become a Puerto Rican boxing icon like Cotto, Tito Trinidad, 維爾弗雷多·戈麥斯, 赫克托卡馬喬, 維爾弗雷多·貝尼特斯 and so many other greats from this fertile island.
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.”
