Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Back in December, Cotto Terms Needed

[WESS]

What's so hard to understand ... Floyd wanted the fight to happen in the year ~2005 but fought Cotto in 2012 ..... it should have happened when Floyd fought Hatton or as his next fight but as I said, Floyd went on vacation.

Again, Floyd fighting Cotto in 2012 was way way too late ....

You should have talked to Floyd's promoter Bob Arum back in 2005 who protected Cotto from Floyd. You should have also talked to Bob about protecting Floyd from De La Hoya.

Ol Bob has openly admitted to protecting his fighters. How hard is that to understand?

In the meantime Bob hasn't dealt with Floyd since Floyd bought out his contract, which in fact was before he went on "vacation". Your argument is moot as Bob still hasn't dealt with Floyd to this day.

btw, it took Cotto to break away from Bob to get a Mayweather fight. It took JMM and Mosley to sign with TR to get a Pac fight. See the trend? Why do you ignore facts and make up imaginative stories that you think validates your agenda but really makes you look like a clown and discredits you on here? Actually is just makes you out to be a liar. Nobody likes liars. Do you just read something that some other noob wrote and you think it's a fact?

There were threads that came up and it was Floyd fans that were saying "very good fight", "if not Manny why not Khan" .... not all Floyd fans but many ..... but I know once it would become official, you would all be joining in defense of Floyd.


myself and one other guy was saying, "Khan hasn't fought a fight at 147 and you want to put him in with Floyd?" .... "Floyd fighting another 140lbs fighter?"

Khan is garbage. I made that well known plenty of times.

Yikes, most people would have understood once you spelled it out for them .... at the very least explain your thought process.

Do you mean the same Arum that recently admitted he was afraid of putting Chavez in the ring with Martinez? But that must have been the first time he felt that right.

Your logic is scrambled to where u can only understand it. You honestly expect me to side with u when all you have is a very small window in 2005 where YOU believe a fight should have happened without taking into consideration he was a member of TR led by the puppet master himself.

Yes that is a recent example.

Wess has an undying hatred for Bob Arum, that's perfectly clear.

But what we don't get is when Bob Arum isn't even part of the reason the fight is not being made, why keep talking about him? Let me ask you a question, is BOB ARUM the reason Floyd offered 0% PPV, a ridiculous offer that even you could admit, being the biggest Mayweather sniffer in the world?

Bob Arum has nothing to do with FLOYD offering 0% PPV, so you repeatedly bringing him up is kinda ******ed when you think about it.

Shhhh! Im waiting for ADPO some number to say that was an isolated incedent and that never happened when floyd was involved

Everyone including members of Pac's team have sad Bob Arum is the reason. You can NOT refute this so don't even try. It is a well known fact and common knowledge in the boxing world. Only fan boys such as yourself think Bob is not the issue. You guys LOVE to ignore the fact that Bob has been in the business for decades... when he wants a fight, he makes the fight.

Floyd wanted Cotto when Cotto needed more fights under his belt.

Cool story bro but I stated no lies, not just my imagination ..here are the FACTS .... .:

You can say what you want about Arum but Arum knows boxing and knows promoting. That fight would have made more sense if made around 2007 than 2005 as Floyd was more well known by then and so would Cotto be .... so the numbers would be much bigger.

As for Arum protecting Cotto ..... you are incorrect. Arum knew that Cotto needed more fights under his belt and knew that if someone can beat Floyd it can be a FUTURE Cotto not the 2005 version of him.
Contradiction on your side: Why do you say that Arum likes people in his stable fighting each other .... Cotto and Floyd were in his stable back then!!!

Arum - "The one guy that I can see beating Floyd is Cotto but not now (ie. not ready yet)" ..... At 2:40


Arum -"Cotto is young ... young fighters need to fight often ... the more they fight the more they LEARN"

Arum - Cotto vs Floyd may happen in a year or 1.5 years from now .... that will be a HUGE HUGE fight.
