    Come on now you know that isnt true... thats one of his biggest paychecks I am sure its much more than what he is making to fight Trout

    good for him for not bending over in Pacs demands and if does get beat by by Trout it'll be at his strong point not weak

    Arum always tries to make you look bad when you don't bend over to him as well. Wait until Pac leaves him if he ever does he'll do the same to him

    First off, I don't entirely believe anything Arum says. Secondly; supposing the $13m figure Arum quoted was true: that Cotto would turn it down says more about Arum than it does about Cotto. You have to ask yourself: why would someone turn down that amount of cash if everything else-all the other terms and conditions-were A-ok? Arum would have been better off quoting $7m, 'cause if you can't lure someone to fight for $13m you must be one shady, untrustworthy mother****er. But then, that's what Bob is...

    Anything Arum says should come notarized to be believable. That being said,
    Cotto is one of the few fighters that doesn't need to clammer to Top Rank/Pac
    demands. His fan base is enormous and his future hall of fame status is
    secure. It's universal acknowledgment that Cotto probably would've taken the
    fight if it were made at 154 lbs. This is just Arum throwing sour grapes for not
    getting his way.

    7.5 and Manny needs to move up to 154. The weight was the issue not the money. Cotto does not want to hurt himself like he did last time.

    First it was $7 Million, then $7.5 Million, now $13 Milllion....If Arum told me I was Black, I would get a second opinion.
