Pacquiao - Cotto unraveling?

Pacquiao - Cotto unraveling? July 26, 3:28 AM on't blame me! I told you Miguel Cotto was prematurely shot after the Joshua Clottey fight. That's why Arum is so desperate to use Cotto now with a big payday before he loses a fight on ESPN 2 for peanuts. Cotto didn't bask in any glory after he beat Michael Jennings for the vacant WBO welterweight title. Michael who? It's not as if Cotto beat anyone that could fog up a mirror. Arum handed him a vacant title and this potential goldmine to fight Manny Pacquiao and this is how Cotto repays Arum. Try making that kind of money driving a cab when you retire Miguel. Arum is covering for him but Bob is not happy. So what the heck is Cotto clinging to? He's got millions of dollars coming his way because his promoter positioned him properly after he was knocked out by Antonio Margarito and then dug up a stiff at a cemetery to fight on pay-per-view for God's sake! Arum should be voted Promoter of the Year right now in July! I previously nominated Dino Duva for the award for dumping Samuel Peter. But I digress. Cotto is getting bad advice and it's time someone says it: Bob Arum, at 78, might not be the Bob Arum of 68 or 58. Arum made a Barrack Obama-like blunder off the cuff and made it worse with the attempted cover up rather than an apology that would have set him free. But nobody is as brilliant or cunning as Arum to get out of this situation. As I have previously stated on my home page, this is not his first rodeo. Arum said nobody cares about the WBO belt in America regarding Pacquiao - Cotto, seemingly to justify his not being able to convince Cotto otherwise. 90 million Pinoy's would beg to differ. Because it actually insulted his meal ticket Manny Pacquiao and lots of PPV - buying Americans - Americans that saw Pacquiao stop American hero Oscar De La Hoya and Brit Ricky Hatton. Arum is in serious "salvage the fight" mode at all costs." Arum wants a Top Rank fighter to fight a "getting annoyed" Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao wants this fight no matter what. He's a warrior. Is this fight going to happen? Can't Manny fake a rib injury to at least buy some time for Arum to plan the next politically correct moves? Are the Golden Boy Sharks circling? Will Floyd Mayweather, Jr. or Juan Manual Marquez step up after their September 19 fight? Yes, I don't know. maybe and absolutely. Can Arum even deliver Pacquiao now? Remember the Billy Joel song of the early 80's, "Pressure?" Take a big whiff Top Rank! Where the heck is Arum? Is he in Mexico at a frigging Latin Fury card with that Latin hero Samuel Peter of Nigeria? Yes. Arum's new Latin Star of David is the same guy Dino Duva dumped. I honestly don't know where he is while his Rome may be is burning. Arum needs to expain the math to Cotto. Simply say he will receive $5 million or so in November by kicking back around $150,000 to the WBO. It's addition by subtraction. Standard operating procedure. Heaven forbid Cotto wins, we do it again because of a rematch clause and he might take in double. http://www.examiner.com/x-11372-Dallas-Boxing-Examiner~y2009m7d26-Pacquiao--Cotto-unraveling

he's a damaged trash, pac is just using cotto as a tune up fight for a big money fight with fraud jr. Funny how the only chance you guys have that Pacquiao beats Cotto is hoping he is shot, other than that Cotto gives Pacquiao the beating of his life.

Not as dumb as yours! Funny how the pactards only hope is that Cotto is shot, funny how they themselves don't believe that Pacquiao could beat Cotto if Cotto is in 100% (which he is).

if he was shot he would have lost to clottey plain and simple. I"m sorry but i'm sick of the whole cotto is shot theory. How he won his last two fights and one was against a big ww that is a animal in the ring. Cotto still had ring generalship look at all the times clottey was in the corner taking or blocking combinations. Sorry pac fans but if he gets pac in the corner as much as he did clottey he's going to get stopped pac that is. I just don't see pac taking 3 shots to the head from cotto and shaking his head like clottey did. I can't wait for this fight in all honesty. I like pac a lot great fighter and great for the sport and same as cotto. But like i have stated before cotto is my fav. current fighter so i'll be rooting for him on nov. 14. Cotto will never be a defensive guru in the ring but he sure can bang with the best of them and in all honesty can take a good punch. Never knocked down from a ww. Nov 14 cotto shuts up all his critics and haters period:boxing:

If Arum believed Cotto was shot..and has no chance against Pac..he wouldn't ask Cotto to re-up his contract for 2 more yrs..and even up the minimum payout per fight from $3mill to who knows what!..probably $5mill.. Arum is an EXTREMELY smart business man..and if he felt Cotto was shot..he'd push for 145 with the belt..and let him be a free agent by the end of this yr..

That's what I've been preaching since a couple of months ago. The Cotto (Pre-Margarito) before is gone the new Cotto (post Margarito) is the damaged boxer with no more exciting fight to offer. Pacquiao knew it and will use him as tune up fight for Mayweather. Come on man!!! No discrediting fighters at this point pls... I dont go with this analogy of fighters being damaged or getting shot just because they lost or get ****ed up the previous fight, a lot of ATG's where beaten but got up and won again and again and took the loss in stride. Hopkins lost his first pro fight, that didnt stop him. Cotto after margacheato won over jennings and clottey, what more are you asking for, do you want him to kill his opponent to be convinsing enough for you? You have such high standards my friend...
