Miguel Cotto vs Sergio Martinez itches closer

Negotiations for a showdown between Miguel Cotto and Sergio Martinez to face off at Madison Square Garden on June 7th came to a brief hold today in light of Manny Pacquiao officially announcing his April 12th fight against Timothy Bradley. According to Martinez's promoter Sampson Lewkowicz, the negotiations will take a break for a few days. The talks seem to have cleared their final hurdles with an announcement likely coming in the next few days.
