Well I think if Mayweather had tried to fight Cotto this year, that Cotto would've ended up fighting De La Hoya. Who would Arum rather have Cotto fight? De La Hoya is a bigger payday, bigger event, more exposure, probably a more winnable fight, and Arum is on better terms with Golden Snaggle Tooth Promotions than he is with Mayweather.

I just don't understand why people always talk all the time about "calling out" fighters, as if it is really important.

The negotiations is what matters, not what you say in an interview.
