    Damn! Atlas went in on Arum's ass! But honestly he isn't saying anything that we all didn't already know. The proof is seeing how fast the Mayweather/Cotto fight got made. The news dropped on what, a Monday? The announcement of the fight was on Tuesday. Imagine that!

    And how can anyone defend Arum? The one and only promoter on the planet that has the gall to say "The fans can go **** themselves!"

    Because he wanted to train Pac when Roach was busy training Hoya but Pac declined. Atlas thinks that he is actually a trainer! He is a douchebag, never was a success as a trainer.

    He's right about Arum and the money part. But if he thinks it's Arum who's the sole cause, he needs to get his head outta his ass. Floyd's make it near impossible to negotiate. How exactly does Arum wanting an arena built to house more fans mean he doesn't want the fight? Did Arum say 50-50 isn't going to make the fight? Did Pac agreeing with the blood testing after all stop the fight? Arum hasn't done as much as he could, that's a given. And certainly the animosity Floyd has w/ Arum doesn't help. But Floyd's the one who's been the roadblock from the start.

    That's pretty ******ed to use as some from of proof. Cotto isn't the position Pac is. With Pac and Floyd, it's two A sides who are the big draws. With Floyd and Cotto, it's an A side w/ a B side who'll take less money, not asking for parity (since Cotto is no way deserves it to begin with).

    For example?

    In my opinion, there are two people who have kept this fight from happening, Floyd and Arum. But at least Arum hasn't made any roadblocks. I admit he hasn't helped as much as he should. But Floyd's the one who's killed it time and time again.

    Why? Who do think started the whole Floyd is ducking Cotto bull****? Only to find out that no fight was ever pursued by Top Rank. Cotto leaves. Fight is made without a hiccup. Interesting.:think

    He's right with what he says about Arum. I think a lot of people are right when they say similar things about him. My problem is when people seem to pin the blame on one persno entirely. If they want to blame Arum, that's fine, but he isn't solely to blame. Mayweather is just as guilty. At the same time, I don't think it's fair to say Mayweather is the sole reason the fight isn't happening.

    I believe Pacquiao would take the fight tomorrow. The problem is, Mayweather and Arum want none of it. Both of them are cut from the same cloth.

    Everyone knows this should be a 50-50 split fight. Missed phones calls aren't the reason for that.
