All those fights I've done since 1999, I was either the promoter or co-promoter.
A promoter needs to be in the e-commerce ticketing business. In a fundamental sense the promoter's job is to buy a show and go and market and sell the tickets.
We used to work with a promoter in Italy who used to book for shows with nine hour drives in between, so we got a new promoter.
I'm a fighter. I'm not a promoter and I'm not a manager so I leave that up to my manager and my promoter and I just fight.

DC will always talk. I just found out he just talks. I kind of figured it out. He talks just to hear himself talk. I know he wants to be that guy that's a big time promoter and all this other stuff, but I think he's his own biggest cheerleader and his worst promoter for sure.
My team members are Hector Soto, who is a boxing promoter and Vice-president of Miguel Cotto Promotions. He runs all my business. He was the person that my father left in charge of it all. Bryan Perez is my right-hand man.
