Arum said he knew nothing about Sundays suprising announcement that the Juan Manuel Marquez-Floyd Mayweather HBO PPV bout of July 18 has been canceled. Has been any communication from GBP indicating that they would push JMM aside in order to put Mayweather directly into the Super Fight against Pacman? No, none, nothing along those lines, Arum said without hesitation. No such indication at all from anybody. Arum did say he got his Manny marching orders from the Pinoy Idol himself when they sat at ringside Saturday night at Madison Square Garden after Top Rank charge Miguel Cotto retained his WBO welterweight crown by holding off Joshua Clottey on a split decision. Manny told me what to do, Arum said. Manny told me,Go ahead, make that fight. So it will go Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand here in Vegas. :bbb
I'm not going to get excited yet, since they still have to make it happen for real, but knowing these two fighters they won't hesitate in getting a deal done. Can't wait for this one.
absolutely. and there wont be any bull**** about purses' for bob reps both and says, "Miguel is delighted to get a fight against Manny, trust me. Miguel very much wants this fight. It will be a sensational fight the way they attack.
If the fight is at a catch weight of 144 I might pick Pacman by TKO. If it is at 147 I'll take Cotto by TKO. :good Hope it gets made. It would be a great fight.
this fight will be made before you can finish holding you breath. -everything is all in the Top Rank Familia.
Those of you picking pacman over cotto just because cotto last performance are really stupid ? he fought 8 rounds with a nasty cut
