    "After the success of the Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manual Marquez bout,Bob Arum talked on his other Superstar in his stable Miguel Cotto and the possibility of a mega fight with Floyd Mayweather, "Its a fight Miguel wants and im willing to make i know iv had my differences with Floyd but this is a fight Miguel wants and as his promoter im willing to put differences aside and make it for him and the fans HBO have told me after the Oscar-Floyd rematch they are willing to put up the money for the fight out of the 30 million pot Miguel has already said he will sacrifice parity to get the fight made and Floyd is the pound for pound number 1 he will get the lionshare of the money" When Arum was further pressed on the money issue he said "Floyd can make 20 million if he has the balls to sign the deal" When asked what would happen if Floyd didnt beat Oscar Arum responded "Oscar has expressed intrest in fighting Miguel in the past and we have established a good working relationship of late so that fight can be made with no problems whatsoever"

    I don't think Floyd will come up with any excuses ... you can't pass up on 20 mil on the table.

    Especially if he gets a share of the gate and PPV revenue ...

    So this fight will happen some time next year and will the biggest fight of the last 15 years ... two guys in their prime and unlike DLH v Trinidad ... Floyd will put up a fight against the power punching Cotto.

    I see Floyd giving Cotto his first loss --
