    This guy is a joke. I can't believe Manny or Cotto is promoted by such a greedy bum. By creating this fight Arum has shown me why boxing in the state it's in . Boxing needs mayweather vs pacman. But Arum would rather keep all the money and promote a fight he wants to see rather than a fight that boxing needs. Don King ruined tyson and Bob Arum will do the same to Manny and Cotto.

    This is a ridiculously stupid post. Personally I would rather see Cotto fight him because he will come to fight not run. It will do nothing to hurt the status of either fighter, by fighting each other first. Mayweather is the greedy fool, who needs to recognize hes not what he thinks he is.

    Arum is the biggest POS in boxing. He's a snake and I don't believe anything he says.

    No.Arum was promoting years before King.
    He's to old to be the "next" anything anyway.

    Arum has been as bad as King, if not worse, for a long time. Remember, it was Arum who was found to be paying the IBF cash under the table to rank his fighters.

    The only reason anyone wants to see Mayweather is to see him lose. Pacquiao/Cotto is a much more compelling match, will be more action packed, and probably wont go the distance.

    Mayweather was good back when he would mix it up (like against Chico), but now he'd rather dance or do fake wrestling.

    Edit: Spelling

    Lighten up . . . first . . . Arum has long taken over Don King's reign. :D

    Two . . . don't blame him for the PBF/Pac fight not pushing through at this point. Mayweather is owning himself up to NOW by issuing statements that contradict themselves. And long before this . . . PBF clearly stated he won't be dealing with Arum.

    Say what you want about Arum but he still puts together some of the best fights in the game
