Arum is really trying to force Cotto's hand I see (also ducking Mayweather)

    Manny will fight on December 1st or 8th Arum already has proposals from Marquez and Bradley waiting on Cotto's.

    But we all know Manny wants Cotto to be weight drained. By taking Cotto's date it screws Cotto.

    Also Arum said “been approached by some people relating to Floyd Mayweather Jr. but you never know how real it is.”

    This guy is a piece of work

    How is he forcing his hand? Cotto's in a pretty solid position at the negotiating table. He's got a massive following of his own which noone - not even Pac or May - would try and challenge by fighting on the same date. He's also got more options than Manny - pretty much anyone at 154 and 147 regardless of the promoter they're with. Arum hasn't got the muscle to force his hand, so I doubt he'd even try to.

    Amen. They need Cotto in order to do the type of numbers they desire to do. They can figure out what they need to figure out on their own. Without one of the two huge draws in the sport, Manny and Arum will struggle to do subpar numbers. The Marquez fight aint gonna sell like the last one did. The Bradley fight may sell more than the last one did because Manny's fans want to see him avenge his loss but it could also tank again. Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather did 1.5 so Bob and Manny want that. They don't want to fight Cotto straight up at 154 and Mayweather is out of the question. Bob And Manny have painted themselves into a corner. I think Miguel Cotto should tell them to go **** themselves and if they want to go head to head, I don't think that Cotto will be affected by these greedy ****s trying to slurp the market instead of creating their own.

    Cotto has his confidence back,as well as won't go down in weight... Even if Manny wins it is still an exciting fight and will be much harder than last time.. With Joel Diaz in his corner he has gone back to the drawing board.. He needed to avenge Margarito to get the old Cotto back..

    Cotto's trainer is Pedro Diaz!!!

    And yes, Arum is trying to shamelessly force his hand but Cotto is in a
    position of leverage now so look for Arum to compromise on the CW demand!!!

    Shameless *******s!!!

    I notice I haven't heard much out of Freddy the Roach!

    I hope Cotto don't bend to Arum demands. Just the fact that they want him to, should show Pac fans how over rated Pacquiao really is, if he was really that great, he would fight Cotto where Cotto feels comfortable, instead of trying to take that from him for the second time.

    Cotto has said no to 147, pac has said no to 154... End of fight talks... Cotto isent willing to weight drain himself


    So bob takes his fight date "fight manny or ur we are gonna cut your ppvs in half at best"

    Bob arum is a snake. Even robbing his cash cow..


    As for the mayweather statement - it really shows how much he hates floyd and refuses the fight

    Pac Has said hos weight limit is 150 cotto is respectful enough to be let manny stay comftorble but arum refuses to let him stay at his comftorble weight of 154
