Makes one wonder if that is the reason that he turned down the offer to fight Floyd for both Margo and Cotto, only to change his mind and start offering Money to floyd to fight Margo... Im not saying that Floyd is injuried because I dont know, but I think that its pretty clear that Arums thinks and thought he was...Man talk about putting some more **** on top of Margo...If he only went after Floyd after knowing or thinking that he was hurt....Man what a *****.. Now I have to say that Floyds camp have denied that Floyd is hurt other then his hands which have been a problem since before Floyd turned pro.
I thought Floyd only hurt his shoulder because of the first Castillo fight. That was the 'reason' he had so much trouble. Only problem was different people were saying different things. First it was left shoulder, then it was the right shoulder. Then it was a "torn rotator cuff" then it was a "strained rotator cuff." None of this has anything do with with his first 'retirement' after the Baldomir fight, though, when he had an emotional breakdown :| because of all the criticism. All he talks about is the hate - true enough, he does get molested by the writers and fans non-stop. That's what it really is.. Even Floyd has only talked about his hands in recent years. Arum ain't know ****.
First of all, Arum will say absolutely ANYTHING, so hit opinion to me means very little. Second of all, it is no mystery that Floyd has been having physical problems. He has said, "My body is breaking down on me". It cannot be more clear than that. Arum is not unmasking Floyd's "hidden problems".
My point of the thread is to point out the fact that Arum rejected a fight for Margo with floyd, and refused to make the fight with Cotto and Floyd, only to change his mind in very short order...The question is did he do it because he knew that Floyd was hurt???? Or was it because he was playing mind games with fans, wanting us to only think that he wanted floyd for those two fighters...I have long thought the second, but now after reading the comments of mister Arum I think that its a combination of the two...Either way its not a good thing...
It's possible. Maybe Arum is trying to ease up on his bashing of Floyd after the destruction of Margo to set up a Pac-Floyd fight later on.
