    Arum is a hoe lol. He needs to make Pac v. Floyd. IMO if Cotto fights Pac at a catchweight he gets Ricky Hatton'd. Cotto Needs to rematch Mosley. No better yet, Cotto needs to lose to Clottey.

    I like Pac's chances against Cotto compared with PBF especially at catchweight below 147. But I guess Arum is just using Cotto as leverage for a possible Pac/Mayweather fight.

    Pacquiao should fight Mayweather now for his own sake if Money wins his next fight and Cotto is a risky fight for Pacquiao, catch weight or not...

    Bob Arum doesn't really give a **** whether Pacman or Cotto lose because he owns both and will cash in with 2 big fights instead of 1 when the winner takes on Floyd...

    Pac vs PBF, Cotto, Mosely, and Marquez. We're all lucky to be living in an exciting era of boxing.

    We always have the jitters everytime Pac takes on a highly rated opponent. But he has proven wrong time and again. Pac must have evolved into a complete fighter and he keeps improving from every fight.

    Take promoters out of the fight business. Good fights promote themselves.

    Have promotion companies that have only single-fight contracts with fighters, so fighters can choose the best and most honest company.

    FU Arum and co.

    This fight represents only 1 of 2 scenarios where I would be rooting against Cotto. From a pure boxing standpoint this would be a phenomenal fight but I would hate to see either one get beat up by the other. Furthermore I would hate to be deprived of a Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown if Cotto were to win. I've always said the Cotto-Mayweather is the number 1 fight I'd like to see but right now Pac-PBF makes too much sense.

    roflmao Arums a ***** he knew floyd wants to fight pac. He dont need him tho. If he wants to play games I would just close the curtain on shane, and cotto then PW at 147. may dont need pac

    No more catchweights. if cotto wins, ibf and wbo should be at stake
