Contrary to the information coming from Joe Santiago, trainer for Miguel Cotto, the size of the ring for Cotto's fight against Manny Pacquiao on November 14 will be no more than 20 feet. The regulations per the Nevada State Athletic Commission clearly state that every boxing match must be fought in a 20-foot ring, no more and no less. Santiago told Puerto Rican paper "Primera Hora" that Pacquiao's people requested a 24 foot ring.
Top Rank's Bob Arum, promoter for both Pacquiao and Cotto has no idea where the information first started but says it's not true. "I don't know where this came from but it's not true. In the State of Nevada, you have to use a 20 foot ring." Arum said. ( Source: www.boxingscene.com )
