Arum didn't waste any more time deliberating whether or not Mayweather's intentions were to actually fight pacquiao. He decided that Mayweather was simply wasting the time of everyone involved. Whether or not he was correct remains to be seen. But, if anyone is familiar with Mayeather's M.O., it's Bob Arum...

BTW, who cares. Enjoy the match-ups made without Mayweather. he is a non factor in the eyes of anyone who truly cares about the sport. Mayweather is perfectly content holding the sport of boxing hostage just to get what he wants. Thank goodness Bob Arum isn't.

Arum has a good stable of WW fighters, Cotto/Clottey/Margarito, and he's much happier matching them against each other then he is putting them against outside fighters.

Now he has a new superstar entering the division and so making as many fights between them as he can.

Don't be surprised if you see a Pac/Margarito fight at some stage.

Why was Bob Arum in such a rush to put Pacquaio in the ring with somebody besides Floyd? I mean this fight with Clottey was made 2Days after negotiations broke down with floyd. Did Clottey call Pac out to fight? Was Clottey even on the list next to fight Pacquiao? Does Clottey have a Belt? Did the fans ask for this fight to be made? I dont understand this fight happening at all. Why Bob Arum couldnt wait 1 or 2 weeks to negotiate more or find a better opponent for pac? Also if he plans on putting Margarito on the undercard he could have easily had Pac fight Margarito right and the public would have been much happier. I feel like they are forcing this fight on the fans with all this Cowboys stadium and Cheer leaders with Jerry Jones. Seems like a pure money making event for Arum and Top Rank. Its not for the boxing fans or to advance Pac's career. He is taking advantage of the pacquiao fans because he knows they are going to watch and come to see Pac fight anyway. WE ARE THE FOOLS HE TAKE US FOR CAUSE WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT THIS NON-IMPORTANT FIGHT ANYWAY!!! JOKES ON US FELLAS! THE DAY ARUM WENT TO TEXAS HE SAW MAJOR $$$ SIGNS IN HAVING A FIGHT THERE AND MADE PLANS WITHOUT MAYWEATHER RIGHT AWAY. GREEDY AZZ ARUM KNOWS HE WILL MAKE THE MAYWEATHER FIGHT LATER THIS YEAR ANYWAY! HE WILL MAKE 100 MILLION THIS YEAR ALONE.

A pure money event?!. Clottey was a good fight and it DID make sense. Pacquiao was coming off a win over Cotto and MANY people thought Cotto lost to Clottey. Those people also thought Pacquiao should fight Clottey rather than Cotto so he eventually fought him.
