    I find him frustrating, wish he would butt out. Pacquiao-Cotto might make perfect financial sense to him but I don't see this happening, the risk/reward isn't there for Pacquiao, surely Mosley is a more exciting Match up being the name he is and the number 1 Welter.

    I was also tired with how he has handled Cotto and Pavlik - great routes to the top yes but once there he just seems to milk them with frustrating miss-matches. OK Pavlik-Hopkins was a good one and Cotto-Margarito but I was also tired of the crap he was coming out with over the whole Mayweather-Cotto fiasco. They never seemed to really push for the fight, as far as I know they didn't even make an offer, prefering to sell Cotto as the guy Mayweather retired from. I don't know why Pavlik-Winky didn't happen either, at least Pavlik-Williams seems to be on the horizon.

    Rant over and blast me down all you like, I have only really followed American boxing for a few years so I'm not very clued up on Arums work in the past but I don't hail him the way many seem to do, anyone agree?
