    Arum is posturing and pushing Mayweather. The insiders know that Pacquiao has one more fight after Cotto and then its on to politics again. Why would Arum NOT want it to be the biggest fight of this century?

    Because Arum would hate to legitimise Mayweather in that fashion.

    But, in any case, Cotto will beat Pacquaio and unlike Pacquaio, I don't think Cotto will settle for "No, you can't fight Floyd" after that fight.

    Okay. Just tell me why these Mexican fans didn't come out for Pac - Barrera 2 even though 1 was on HBO. or Morales - Pac 123 or Pac - JMM 2 ,again 1 was on HBO and a great fight?

    I'll give you a hint: Mr. 24/7 :lol:

    Anyone still doubting his ability to sell a fight after that performance needs their head examined.

    1 million PPV buys with a guy who had never done more than 400k, even against Pacquaio.

    Arum just wants to keep cotto and pac away from floyd. Shane had his chance but i have to admit i do really want to see that fight happen. Floyd wins it though by UD.

    Bingo! Cotto stylistically matches up the best with PBF. Pac will be schooled and Shane will be outboxed. I really don't know what people see in Shane that make them think he can beat PBF? This is the same guy who went life and death with Mayorga of all people he can't handle boxers and was getting outboxed by Cotto for crying out loud but he can give PBF the toughest test at 147?:lol::rofl:lol: I'm really starting to doubt the boxing IQ of the posters here. Mosley fights flat footed he has no jab is easy to hit has poor defense and he's 37 years old. He looks good against people who stand in front of him and come to bang but if you have lateral movement and put a jab in his face he's completely lost. You people are really getting desperate if you think Shame Mosley is going to beat PBF

    Because Arum knows like anyone else who knows boxing that PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Pac and he can't stand for his most prized possession to lose to him most likely in an embarrassing fashion. They will continue to downplay PBF and say he's not a draw and he's boring even though the numbers against comon opponents don't support it, Arum is full of ****.:yep

    Your are reading way too much into this. I simply would like to see the numbers to find out after all the **** that has flown here. I really have no agenda. You should know by now I try and cut through all the **** here and get to facts when possible. Which is way to rare, but I still try.

    They remember Shane stopped Margo, a guy they love to hate. You are just now starting to doubt the collective boxing IQ? REALLY? :lol:
