    I am sick and tired of Bob Arums games. He has been constantly using the boxing world as his personal play land! Its time people take a stand with there dollars.


    This Pac vs Cotto fight is a joke and the only reason the are fighting Cotto is so that Mayweather couldnt fight him May5th! Bob is trying to stick it to Floyd and not giving a flying **** what the boxing fans want.

    Its hard to believe Pac was given four choices not Floyd and he chose to fight Cotto again! I dont buy that garbage one bit. Pac has no reason at all to want to fight Cotto again. This is all Bob Arum's doing to stick it to Floyd and us fans!

    This fight is a complete Shame!!!! You Win Again Bob!

    Trust me things have been finalized for weeks now. They Pac picked his opponent over a week ago. Which really means Arum picked his opponent a week ago. No way I see Pav himself picking to fight Cotto again.

    **** that, I say cotto should fight may and pac should fight some of the young guns that top rank just signed in bradley or peterson

    I know uncle bob don't want the floyd fight but please don't feed the same usual fighters pac has been fighting.

    Bob Arum is a good promoter but don't know **** about boxing, what goes in his mind is probably something like this:

    - Cotto and pac made the most ppv numbers out of his last recent opponents
    - It was a good fight, it made pac look good and he got a knockout

    Sadly it don't work that way bob, look for this fight to look more like pac-barrera 2 a boring UD, and fewer ppv numbers this time. I'm willing to bet if this fight happens it wouldn't even reach 1 mil ppv sales

    Let's face it, Arums given boxing a large number of great fights. But generally, those are fights where he ends up earning a lot of money.

    He is, and will remain, the main reason why Pac-Floyd never occurs. Or occurs at such a date that the irrational Pac fans will cry "Pac was shot".

    He's a businessman, and as much as its bad for boxing, he's a good one at that.

    But he's responsible for the "fight" not happening. No ifs, buts or maybes about it (despite what some fanboys might say).

    dHe has been exposed of late, which he probably doesn't care these days due to his age and what he's done for the sport in total.

    It's almost uncountable the amount of excuses he's used for Pac-Floyd.

    Yes, I know Floyd is now demanding the lion's share (still disputable, really).

    But there's a thread with nearly 50 (I believe it was actually 34) excuses made by Arum for the Pac-Floyd fight not happening.

    And it's not just ESB.

    The media and general public as a result, are beginning to realise.

    I hope that everyone who is as disappointed with the non-materialisation of this fight, doesn't pay for it and boycotts both the fighters. In my book they are both to blame over the past 200 years they've been talking about it. If Pac wants it, put your f*cking foot down and demand it from Arum. If Floyd really wants it, don't be such a d*ck and accept 50% from the richest fight in history.

    If people keep buying the sh*t fights then they've no excuse to moan. If we don't go along with it, maybe boxing matchups will improve. Maybe.
