Does Arum not secretly want Cotto to fight MAyweather?

[p4pking]

Its just speculation on my part, but I don't see why ARum doesn't throw out a huge some of money to have Cotto fight Mayweather, I think by Cotto saying he lets Arum choose who he fights, instead of chosing himself is hurting him. If Cotto say look Bob I am not fighting unless I get Mayweather, I am sure Arum could make a big enough deal for Mayweather to fight him, but like everyone else has seen I don't think Arum deep down believes that Cotto can beat Floyd.

Thats ridiculous. Cotto is no floyd. He has real balls. WTF is he supposed to do? Subpoena him into the ring?

Don't get it twisted. floyd is the one running from not just Cotto but, guys like Williams as well.

It's amazing how many people believe his bull.

Wow what a calculated, objective response. Is that what Bob Arum told you then? You know what your right. Floyd just doesn't have real balls like Cotto. That's all there is to it. Noone should be interested in how much money or exposure they gain to risk their health and well being to fight for a televised audience. He should just give the most hardcore fans the fights they want, because we really like boxing. It doesn't matter that we've never had a pro fight, he should take the opponents we want on, because we know more about boxing than the average person. And if he doesn't, than we'll say he has no balls. And he'll be able to sleep so much better at night knowing that he gave up 15 million to make you happy, because now he'll never be ducking anyone in your mind ever. Is that about right?

Its pretty hard to see clearly with shades in the dark so I suggest you take them off. It's not about pleasing me. I'm trying to save ignorant fools like you from being tricked by this coward. His easy options ran out so he retired. Oscar comes back and he's ready to fight.....hmmm. Am I the only one that smell seafood?

If he wasn't saying he's #1 and running his mouth selling wolf tickets, then it wouldn't be an issue. That is why I don't rate him #1. There are many other guys fighting the best opposition and winning while he continues to fight the most vulnerable money making opposition.

If you want to rate him as the p4p best businessman in boxing, then that's a different story but we are talking about boxing here.

BTW, even as the boxing businessman thing goes, he'll never get that top spot either because that belongs to Oscar.

Hey, I want Floyd to fight Cotto as much as everyone, it really dissapointed me that he's going through with the Oscar rematch. It's not as though I'm being "fooled" into thinking this fight is meaningful, or that it will be much different than the first fight.. But, my point was that as long as Cotto can't bring close to the money that Oscar can, ANYONE in Floyd's shoes would make the same decision. The problem lies with the lack of an informed, mainstream audience. If the average person who paid to see Floyd vs Oscar the first time knew who Miguel Cotto was, then Floyd probably would be fighting him now. But that's not even close to being the case. And it's because boxing isn't a mainstream sport, but De La Hoya is a mainstream athlete. Everyone knows him, and most only know Mayweather for beating him. It's really painfully obvious why Mayweather isn't fighting Cotto now, almost as painful as reading you blame everything on him not having the balls.
