    "I don't know what happened. I was giving him great work. I was putting the pressure on him. I was doing the Manny Pacquiao movements. I was giving him angles. I wasn't slacking off. I'm not a slacker. Everybody knows. I don't know what happened. I got sent home not knowing why I got sent home".

    "To be honest Ben, I don't know what happened. You know, everybody knows how I get down. I spar very well. I take my sparring seriously. I'm like 6-0 as a chief sparring partner, "I don't play with the guys I spar with, you know? In the ring, I throw volume punches. In the ring, I do a lot of movement, I do a lot of bouncing, I do what I do best and that's prepare you for your fight. For me to get sent home, I don't know why."

    "Everybody enjoyed me, his trainers, everybody liked me man. Every single body Ben. Everybody. Everybody likes me...All I know was I was doing my thing. Everybody was proud. Everyone was impressed. I was the one shining as a sparring partner, putting the pressure in, putting the bounces in, punching and walking like Pacquiao...after we sparred, I go home, I go for a run because I'm getting ready for my fight, I get a call that I'm getting sent home. I'm saying, 'For what? Why?' They say, 'Oh, we don't know why. We don't know the details.

    "I've sparred with many world champions and I've never been sent home. If anything, they've praised me. You can ask Tony Morgan, the trainer of Berto. You can ask Berto. I mimic the fighters very well. I do a little bit of me, but I will mimic the fighters very well," he added, "I gave him the best ability that I can. I was giving him angles, I was giving him punch volume; I mean, of course not as much as Pacquiao, but damn near."

    If Cotto and his team thought he was doing fine, then arum needs to know his roll.... wtf since when does a promoter run how training camp goes. ****ing A im sick of arum. Unless im totally wrong and it wasnt arum it was cotto and camp that sent him packing. Otherwise arum should **** off.
