Miguel Cotto Made Floyd Mayweather Retire, Says Arum

[Easy-E]

During the final press conference for Saturday's battle between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito, promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank took plenty of shots at the recently retired Floyd Mayweather Jr. Arum feels that the pending pressure from fans and media to face Cotto, forced Mayweather to call it quits. He said Mayweather will return to the sport, but not against Cotto or Margarito. [details]

Arum is such a ****ing idiot.
Cotto never dared to say Floyd's name until he was retired.

Fact is Bob is right. Mayweather didn't want no part of Cotto so he retired. He could have easily made a bunch of money in that fight but instead he made excuses. Floyd will never go down as on of the all time greats which is fine by me.

Mr. Arum is always right... the problem is only that he changes his opinion like other ppl their underwear. So it's hard to keep up with him and whats right now. But if you have so MANY DIFFERENT opinions about ONE SUBJECT its almost not possible that you wrong with every opinion *looooooooooooooooooool*

May I respectfully ask which excuses?

-Who's Miguel Cotto
-Cotto's too green
-He doesnt bring anything to the table
-Im not impressed with him
-His HBO ratings against Gomez were low
-Cotto needs to become a CEO before i consider fighting him
-Cotto needs to establish his own fanbase (whatever the hell that means)
-Cotto needs to be on the level of a Floyd Mayweather before i fight him
-I wont do business with Arum because he's a grumpy old man
-Im retired
-Im focusing on being a promoter right now
-I have nothing else to prove in the sport, i've done what i had to do
-He know's that i'll beat him
-He wont get past Mosley
-He wont get past Judah
-Fan: "When will u fight Cotto". Floyd: "next question"

Wonder if this will tempt floyd back into the Game..
Lets say Cotto beats Marg (Hope not) lol
or either Marg beats Cotto..
Both have had there point of views this week regarding Floyd.
If either wins and wins in style will this tempt Floyd back
like he said it did with Hatton?

Just in case someone asks. Here's the excuses he gave not to fight Margarito.

-Who' Margarito
-He doesnt bring anything to the table (even though Arum offered floyd 8mil)
-I'll fight u down the line when its bigger
-Im not fighting Margarito to prove who to the boxing fans who the best is
-He doesnt deserve to be in the ring with me
-Arums a grumpy old man, therefore i wont do business with him
-I pointed to him (Margarito) and nobody even knew who he was

Again... you have to love May *lol* This probably must have been the most creative post you have ever done. Kudos... he even makes ppl creative... unbelievable man *looooooooooool*

I love that hyping... now the Cotto fans feeling good... May is scared... but as soon as he signs this fight it will go like this: God damn, why did he do this. He's supposed to be a *****, a ducker... why did he sign the fight. Is there a conspiracy going on. How can he fight Cotto. He's so much more man, so much more warrior... as the fight nears they will start to give Floyd some kudos (it looks ****** if your favorite fighter looses against a *****, like they now do with Margarito... read it --- Margarito = average) I love it... but probably Floyd ducked him so long that Cotto was past his prime.

Here's a quote for you:
2005
Floyd: Mr. Arum... I want Cotto
Mr. Arum: No, he needs some more years before you badly school him
Cotto: I fight who the company puts in front of me (still don't know if this sentence was a question or an answer from Cotto.)
