For those who say "Floyd wont fight Cotto due to hatred for Arum"

[deevel79]

Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob."
Arum agreed that the split with Mayweather was not on bad terms like their brief breakup last year. In fact, Arum said, "We intend to be back together. Everything with this was honorable and good. I had offered him numbers [for a multi-fight contract extension] that were livable. His expectations are in the stratosphere. He was entitled to buy me out, and he did. We decided this was the best way to handle it. He is a free agent. We have agreed to work with each other [in the future]."

The split frees Mayweather to make a potential deal with De La Hoya without Arum as part of the promotion. His involvement would have made making a deal almost impossible: The head of Top Rank has openly feuded with De La Hoya, his former superstar, and their companies rarely do business together as a result.

Arum said he was simply not interested in participating in a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight, but not because of his distaste for De La Hoya.

"I don't want to, because if I did that fight, I would be working for such a small percentage, it's not worth it," he said.

Well there u have it. Both parties dismissed any bad blood. I guess that excuse can go out the window now.

DUMBASS. YOU ARE A DUMBASS. I am sorry I don't like spouting out names and such but you have to be a dumbass to use this as an argument for saying bad blood is out the window. What happened when Floyd was questioning Arum a few months ago AFTER the DLH bout and DK had to come to Arum's aid. You didn't see any distaste for one another there? What happens when Arum is interviewed and is asked, or in alot of cases NOT asked, about Floyd Mayweather. He bashes him and berates him, correct? What happened when Leonard Ellerbe was asked if he would do business in the future with Arum and he answered with a resounding NO! All of this was RECENTLY, your article was BEFORE the DLH bout. You listen to every thing you read now or are you just selectively choosing articles to your benefit that make no sense when looking at the big picture. My goodness you haters are ignorant. TRY AGAIN MUDASUCKA.

It's on the Mayweather conference call. A reporter asked Leonard "Do you see Mayweather promotions doing business with Bob Arum in the near future" and Leonard responded with a definitive, NO.

I can't seem to find it right now, I checked into BPP's threads that he made, but it only shows the first 20 pages and I think it was more of a while ago then october.

I don't remember what the title was either, but I know it's somewhere on here. Maybe Dios has it. Or hell, Skils do you have it?
