    Correct me if I'm wrong here, I haven't read this entire thread.

    Arum represents neither of these guys (Floyd & Oscar) anymore. They both left him. Arum now says they are going to fight next. Has anything been signed? Has anyone from the Mayweater or DLH camp mentioned the rematch? Anyone else in the boxing community? Could this just be Arum baiting Floyd to fight Cotto?

    But before he said a couple of dull fights, he prefaced it with "a couple of fights ago"

    I'm a big PBF fan but if he goes through with this unless rematch it will hurt his legacy IMO. He only has really two options at this point and it's Cotto or retire.

    I think he meant to say, "A couple of fights ago, I gave the fans a dull fight". I think he mixed his words. His actual quote "a couple fights ago, I gave the fans a couple of dull fights", makes no sense.

    If it was the interview straight after the fight he was just buzzing that'll be why. I would imagen it could have been wither but he could have ment both the De La Hoya and the Baldomir fights. Neither of which were greatly exciting. Baldomir being Floyd's worst fight in terms of excitement ever.

    All just speculation realy unless the question was posed to him again, the Hatton fight was good though.

    What's wrong with Floyd kicking his ass more convincingly this time like he did Castillo? Plus there aint a man on these boards that would turn down 20 to 30 million to fight Oscar. I'd fight a prime Tyson for that amount of money.

    it isn't about money anymore for floyd, or so he said in the hatton 24/7, this fight is meaningless, real floyd fand wants him to take on the best.

    I want him to fight the best too and I've told you that. He's only 30. He can beat Cotto after he makes another 25 million.

    No need for this rematch, no real boxing fan wants this too happen . . . the only ones who benefit are Frauds and Oscars bank accounts.
