    ...to happen is: MIGUEL COTTO VS ANTONIO MARGARITO II

    This is a GRIDGE MATCH - A RIVALRY - A SCORE TO SETTLE!!!

    This is a Fight that needs to happen. If Arum puts Pacquiao in the ring with either fighter and Pac destoys them...then fans will never see this rematch of Cotto vs Margarito.

    ARUM IS SOOOOO BAD FOR THE SPORT!!!

    I agree. I rather see Cotto vs Margo II than Pac vs either.

    Dude AMEN. Exactly what I was thinking.. Pacquiao doesn't need any of either of these guys and there is definitely unfinished business between Cotto and Margs.

    I agree but you have to realize this is business. So business sense is to have Pacquiao fight another top rank guy like Margarito and Cotto that are popular and can draw crowds. You have to realize Bob Arum likes to keep everything in house because he gets more money !!! What i dont get is when someone ask him about putting Pacquiao against Andre Berto, Williams, Bradley and all he said is they can't draw crowd but yet he put him in against Clottey that has no fans at all !!!!

    Cotto vs Margo II should happen first before putting them against Pac. If Cotto can beat Margo then at least it justify a rematch vs Pac. I think Cotto Margo would sell pretty decently too. As for Pac, fight one of the 154 lbers preferably Williams or Berto at 147

    This fight could probably have been the co-main event of pac-mayweather but mayweather took a vacation. Damn you :lol:

    he needs to set a little bit of that greed aside and just make a fight fans want to see. **** business, they'll earn anyway even if not as much.

    Just because you're making a lot of money doesn't mean you lose your business sense. If you weren't business minded then you probably wouldn't even be in a position to make a lot. This is the same reason Floyd insists on getting a bigger cut vs pac, and why emmaneul fought over a mere 2% in his fight w/ Hatton.

    the obvious answer to your question is because FLOYD WOULDN'T FIGHT PAC.

    FLOYD IS SOOOOO BAD FOR THE SPORT!!!

    Well Clottey also has score to settle with either Cotto or Margarito so Arum can probably put up this card:

    Main Event: PAC vs. Margarito/Cotto
    Undercard: Clottey vs. Cotto/Margarito

    :D

    The funny thing is a while back noone wanted to see this fight cause "Margarito should not be making a dime off of Cotto" and now that Margarito/Pac has a good chance of being made, everyone wants to see Cotto/Marg 2.


    Oh the hypocrisy :lol:
