Was just reading some quotes from the post fight press conference of the Clottey Cotto fight(by the way the judge that had it 114-113 Clottey gave him 5 of the last 6 rounds and Clottey only won by one point, let that sit for a bit) anyway.

Among some of Bob Arums quotes were this

I'll bold what I think is funny and why

on a rematch with Clottey

“We’re going to have to talk to the Cotto people,” said Arum. “He has a lot of options. I would like for him to fight Manny Pacquiao. That would be a tremendous fight, and I hope we can get it done for November.”

I bolded the Pacquiao thing for a reason. Because then he went on to critisize Mayweather for fighting Marquez

“Floyd has a fight coming up with Marquez, and then he’ll probably want to fight Calderon,” said Arum referring to Ivan Calderson, the 108-pound champion who also fought on the show. “Mayweather won’t fight anyone that can beat him. He will only fight someone who he thinks is not a danger. Psychologically, he cannot take defeat.”


Does Arum think we are actually that stupid as boxing fans that we'll buy him trying to sale a Cotto vs Pacquiao fight and yet try to put Mayweather down for fighting a smaller guy in the same press conference?
