    “We’re going to have to talk to the Cotto people. 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. This was a great fight, and under ordinary circumstances Clottey deserves a rematch. But we have economics. It’s just not going to happen next.” (Regarding where Floyd Mayweather fits in the mix) “Floyd has a fight coming up with Marquez. Then he’ll probably want to fight Calderon. Floyd just doesn’t fight big guys. Let’s be honest, he doesn’t fight big guys.”

    Yeah, he's such a snake for always putting money 1st before anything else. IMO anyone in the boxing business who puts too much value on money to the point that it gets in the way of making actual good fights is just a ****ing snake.

    Since when was Cotto a big guy? Cotto is not a big guy by any standard. Now Pwill, hes a big guy. margo isa big guy, santos was a big guy.

    Cotto, hes a little dude!

    Cotto is not a little dude. He has the frame of a full fledged welterweight unlike Marquez.

    So if Floyd doesn't fight big guys how does fighting at welterweight help Floyd again?

    When Arum said that, he maybe referring to his standards that immediate rematches are not economically attractive... You've got to build up and hype the rematch more and not doing it immediately right after this very close fight...
