Pacquiao vs. Cotto Appears To Be Next, In November?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Top Rank's Bob Arum, the next likely opponent for Manny Pacquiao will be WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. It's not the first time that Arum mentioned the possibility of a fight with Pacquiao and Cotto. Since January the subject came up a number of times. Arum said the overall decision will come down to the fighters. If both boxers want to make the fight, Arum will make the fight. If the fight does take shape, it probably won't happen until November.

Arum JUST SAID he wouldnt talk about Pacman Floyd, until after the Ricky Hatton fight...


Unless of course it involves one of his own fighters... then we can plan that **** right now...

**** the haters man...

I'd love to see this fight. People underestimate Pac's chances. Both their styles could make for fireworks.

But then again he could be "trying" to bait Floyd, but at the same time i don't see Arum not putting Cotto vs Pac together if that is becomes the option.

Reminds me of when Cotto was slated to face Clottey after his win over Marg....

They both have to win 1st and it is not going to be easy,Mr. Arum should not be so confident that they both win!!!

We already knew that, though.

Floyd would have to crawl on his hands and knees, beg Arum, kiss his ass, and give Manny 90% of the purse to get that fight made.

And even then it's 50/50.

Its like Arum is trying his best to see Manny knocked out now, there's no way hes beating Cotto. In fact there's no way hes making the distance against Cotto either. On the other hand I'm expecting Clottey to beat Cotto, so how much significance will there in that fight if Miguel loses?

Sounds like we have our own nastradamous on this forum.

This is just BS from Arum IMO.

Arum loves matching up his own fighters I guess.

Golden boy nevers does that.
