Oh dear........ Maybe 2011 is the year when Arum will finally file to be his own boxing organisation and begin manufacturing belts and taking sanction fees from their own fighters.... Ha

fast forward to 2011 this plan wont happen at all, same as other stupid plans! a rematch with guys you pretty much beat up to a pulp wont generate much excitement for paying boxing fans.
These rematches would do horribly. How can you market a rematch of two such one-sided beatings? I can't imagine anybody being stupid enough to buy into either fight.
Arum is a genius!!!
First of all, he's clearing up the biggest mistake Pacman ever made. Saying he's going to fight for 3 more years. Pacman saying that, slowed the push for Mayweather to get into the ring with him.
Secondly, Arum put together possible and legit fights. Fights just to get Mayweather thinking, that possibly, the mega money fight won't happen. The more chances Manny take, the less money will be on the table if Mayweather don't jump soon.
Third, Margarito vs Cotto is legit!!! And might actually happen. Just as a fog! Not as a possible elminator for Pacman. But no one asked, what will Cotto do until then? When was his last fight? He needs to fight soon, if he's going to get in the ring with Margarito again. Sitting for this long then getting back in the ring with the person that maybe took something away from his boxing life, is a bad move.
Fourth, Arum is going to build up these potential future opponents without saying anything. He's going to make Berto, Bradley, Alexander, Williams, Martinez, JMM and even Mayweather fight each other so they can raise their stock and elminate potential opponents. Bigger pay days.
Finally, Roach is also doing the hand picking. Bradley and Alexander is not being mention because, Roach have Khan in the same division. Raising his on stock in the boxing world. Freddie also have Jcc Jr and Vanes Martirosyan(I think)in his camp. So Martinez and Cotto is not going to happen neither.
All that said, if Mayweather fight Pacman, all the above money will be made in one night.
This is a business!!! Arum and Roach is just playing their cards right.
Respect!!!
P.S.
1. Pacman will sign to fight Mosley before Floyd's court thing is over.
2. Floyd will fight Cotto or the winer of Bradley vs Alexander at 147. Perferrably the winner of Bradley vs Alexander.
3. If Floyd fights Cotto, Berto vs the winner of Bradley vs Alexander.
4. Jcc Jr will fight Cotto. Winner fight Margarito
5. Freddie Roach(Vanes) will win by points over Manny Steward(K-9) for an 154 title. Then Williams will make another run at Pacman.
It aint happening.
Pac already fucked them both up.
Might as well throw Clottey's name in the mix too![]()
I think Cotto has a better chance against Pacquiao than would Margarito a second time around. Cotto screwed himself big time by going with Joe "WTF?" Santiago in his corner before getting himself a REAL professional. Cotto was jabbing Manny well in the first few rounds, before deciding to go toe-to-toe with Pac and getting hit 5 times for every one he hit Manny with. Bad strategy. Emmanuel would fix these bad game plans. Cotto might still not win, but he'd be more competitive than would Margarito.
That being said, I also realize there's better fights for Pac out there, such as Berto. I'd give anything to watch Manny dismantle Berto.
i actually think cotto would have a great chance against pacquiao at 154, without getting a catchweight. for instance, when cotto fought yuri foreman, he looked really strong and fast. maybe this is his ideal weight. also, morales mentioned that cotto had a novice trainer for the pacquiao fight. if cotto does have his rematch with emanuel steward as his trainer, i'd pick him to defeat pacquiao, without a catchweight at 154, by TKO.
