Mayweather and Ellerbe: Top Rank refused to put Cotto in there with Floyd

Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Pac all under ARUM.

 

Yeah, Arum is the one who came up with the OSDT stumbling block when the fight was a certainty to happen. He's the one who went on vacation and said he'd only make the Poochiao fight after he comes back. He's the one who said Mayweather would need a tuneup before he fights Pac. He's the one who signed Victor Ortiz as the tuneup. He's the one who said Pac might need to train in the US for the fight to happen.

Arum also made offers to Floyd to fight Margarito, and Floyd declined them all, whatever his reasons, he declined them, fight would've happened had he not.

Also Paul Williams wasn't signed to Arum. Kostya Tszyu wasn't. Mosley wasn't when he was more in his prime. Winky wasn't. But of course y'all have excuses for them not happening too. Always an excuse with Floyd. Fact is his resume looks weak since moving up to 140 compared to his main comptemparies of that time. No excuse can hide that.

 

Floyd jr like it green & that's the reason why we have Ortiz vs Mayweather...

 

This is the worst post I have ever seen

 

If PBF is **** what does that make Cotto? A guy who never won a title that wasn't vacant until he beat Yuri Foreman at 154 who wasn't **** to begin with.:deal

 

The entire Boxing world: Floyd ducked Top Ranked Fighter Miguel Cotto Conquerer Antonio Margarito

 

I never will forget the look in Cotto's eyes as he sat ringside for the PBF-Gatti fight he looked in awe of PBF. The truth is Cotto never wanted PBF he knew PBF was a stylistic hell for him and he would get schooled.

 

I already provided an answer for you, and again, factual information is ignored so people can continue with this "ra ra Floyd was scared of Margarito" bull****.

"Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."



From ESPN. Floyd wanted both the guys people claim he "ducked." It was Bob Arum who nixed the deal because he did not want to work with Oscar, not Floyd. People need to wake the **** up, seriously. All this "most feared man in boxing" bull**** did not come up until after Floyd made a career payday against Oscar, and Bob Arum was left on the sideline wondering why he did not get his cut.

When Floyd was with Bob Arum: "He's the greatest boxer I have seen since Ali and SRL."
When Floyd left Bob Arum: "He's a ducker and scared of (Insert Top Rank Fighter Here)."

Sure Bob.....

 

See people like you are soo easy to deal with. How in the **** was PBF going to fight Zoo when he fought for a rival network in Showtime? But let me guess it was PBF's fault that the fight didn't happen.:-( If a fight doesn't happen blame PBF it takes two to make a fight and there are other issues as well.

 

Man just quit. It doesn't atter to them that PBF wanted to fight them they believe what they want to.

 

Yeah, if Floyd and Ellerbe said it, then it all must be true.

 

Cotto vs Mayweather was the biggest fight of 2008. Some fan you are.

 

If Mayweather spent half the time he spends talking in the ring, he wouldn't have to constantly make excuses. We'll never know why the fight didn't happen. But, it is a pattern in Mayweather's career and he has yet to take any personal responsibility for any of them.

When you constantly blame the other guy, it makes you lose credibility.

 

WTF are you talking about?

Cotto was the WBO 140lb titlist when Floyd called him out.

Please stop with this "much greener Cotto" BS....

 

Preach! :thumbsup
