    Glad to see that Cotto got the job done, but it saddens me to see many people disregarding the win when a large minority of people picked Foreman to win.

    You do know that Foreman was the betting favourite last night right ????

    Love him or hate him Arum puts on a show and keeps his fighters active , in todays wrangles of boxing politics and BS you have to admire Arum , his cards are regular and entertaining !!!!!

    My major problem with Bobby at the moment is the Juanma Gamboa horse **** , other than that im happy to see world class fighters so active .

    Look at what happened IN the fight. He hurt himself in round 2 of negotiations by cherry picking Clottey; it only sold 700K compared to the 1.4mil of his rival.

    :good

    I thought the main event last night was great. Great atmosphere, Cotto looked better than he has and Foreman put on a valiant performance. Again, I love how half the people on here were picking Foreman to win and now that he lost, he shouldn't have been in the ring with Cotto. Haha. Whatever.

    So two top 5 WWs who fight each other and sell 700K PPVs is an embarassment for the sport?

    I would say **** boxing if I was getting into it again by watching the a fight starring what's supposed to be the "most exciting" fighter, but it turned out to be the weakest fight of the decade. That be a big let down to see someone that's supposed to be the "most exciting" hitting his big punching bag for 36 mins. Big expectation, low return makes for great disappointment.

    Arum was embarrassed, pac was embarrassed, and even roach was embarrassed. Just look at their faces.

    Yes, taht **** hurt the sport.

    It wasn't even a fight! All that nice guys **** touching gloves and hugging in the ring after that boring ass **** was a disgrace and it did nothing for either fighters legacy or nothing for the sport. Nobody wanted to see that fight. Nobody on this earth was asking to see them two fight.
