    Nowadays they are also promoters of franchise fighters and thats a lousy excuse for injustice anyway.

    Just like HBO's Lampley getting paid of by Charlie Wrangel and Co. to compare Obama to Joe Luise last Saturday

    thats how buisness is conducted of course they will want to try and negotiate a bigger slice of the pie and the first to throw figures around is at a disadvantage, Arum isnt a moron or he wouldnt be where he is in this buisness.

    McCain has done a bit to clean up boxing and even used to box but HBO dont make any nice comments about him. In fact I bet they are scared -------- that he might win and really clean up the boxing mess

    What other ways besides the press do you want Cotto to call him out? Doing it Hatton style just aint his style and I dont blame him for it

    Look when he did it. He did it knowing Floyd was not available, nor him.

    yeah its bull**** from bob and at the same time he has a point though. This fight will happen when Floyd gives the signal to Arum to make the fight happen, It won't happen the other way around...Cotto has very clearly in an indirect somewhat respectable way say that he is there and is willing to fight. Floyd has never given the notion of wanting to fight. If Floyd doesn't give the signal than this fight won't happen, Bob is pretty much dropping the ball on Floyd. If he wants Cotto he will talk and if he doesn't well then he can to put it frankly retire. Because we know one thing, there is a good chance that Cotto can clear out 147lbs And so IMO it would be pretty easy to ignore Floyd at least for the moment.

    And yes Floyd does own a part of the 147lb division, And so how would Cotto ignore him? By just fighting everyone else! The belts don't make the fighter the fighters make the belts. If Floyd has lets make believe 10 147lb belts and Cotto has 1, but Cotto clears out the 147lb division then whos belt is worth more? my point exactly.

    Eze is blind as ****. nomatter how much proof, or video you post for him to see, he still refuses to open his eyes. Eze is like a battered wife...I feel sorry for him.:-( It's hard for him to understand that his hero and idol is a ****ing pansy:yep
