Mayweather-Pacquiao Will Take Time, Says Arum

[arraamis]

Cotto should honestly be pissed at the amount of disrespect he has received.

He should be very pissed ... We are talking about the REAL #1 WW here. If I were Cotto I would buy myself out of that contract with Arum ... he is a pure snake.

No one is talking Mayweather vs Cotto? No one giving Cotto a chance?

Soo True ... Actually Cotto is a live fight, more so than Pac-man.

***
Side Note: Prior to Floyd dismantling JMM ... Everyone was talking much **** about how Pac is going to KO Floyd, How Pac was going to do this and that ... Now since getting a rude awakening {Compliments to JMM} ... Much doubt is creeping into the rap all of a sudden. NOW, many are saying that Pac doesn't belong anywhere near a ring with Floyd ....

WHAT THE **** IS WITH ALL THIS BACK-PEDDLING ALL OF A SUDDEN???????

Cotto beats Pacquiao in November, Mayweather-Cotto finally happening in 2010, Mayweather wins by decision, Pacquiao-Mayweather taking place later that year. 60/40 for money floyd, Pacman KOs Mayweather in 6! and Mosley will remain a crybaby until he's 40 years old.

That will be good fight, thats the fight of century

[MindBat]

hes acting like pac as won the fight. and it sounds like hes trying to come up with an excuse toprevent it

I sense the same.

Money talks and Pac vs PBF is where the money is.
Cotto is going to have to win this fight if he ever wants to be treated like he's a challenge again.

Undeniably.

Am I reading this wrong... or is Manny Pacquiao asking for a tune-up before facing Mayweather?

That's a big possibility. Pacquiao needs a lot of time to choose sparring partners before facing Floyd.

It seems a lot of people are so looking forward to a Pac/Mayweather fight that they are looking past Cotto. Cotto is the biggest roadblock to their plan coming to fruition. Does Roach honestly think he has the harder puncher? Why, because Manny KOed Hatton? Mr. Magoo could hit Ricky Hatton. Because he beat up De La Hoya? Even Roach knows that Oscar was drained and had an IV in him right before the fight.

Cotto is not a weight drained guy or an overrated brawler. Pacquiao's best chance to win is to hit and move, in and out using hand and foot speed combined. If he tries to brawl with Cotto, Pacquiao will get hurt badly. If Margarito with loaded gloves could not knock out Cotto, what makes anyone think Pacquiao can?

Pacquiao may be the biggest money fight Mayweather can get, but Pacquiao's value will plummet after November 14th.

You're right. Cotto remains a big threat, and it appears Arum is counting him out already. But I wouldn't count Manny out yet.

The real issue will be Cotto handling the catch-weight and pulling off the win.

*** that. cotto knock that ***** out man. its getting too ridiculous that im thinking this fight could be fixed. the speculations are nonsense.

YOu read it wrong, PAC wants Floyd asap!!

But, Arum said in the article that(I'm paraphrasing) dealing with Floyd will take time and will want alot of $$$, so a PAC - Floyd showdown may not be realistic before the May '10 elections.

Just to be clear:

Floyd is not the one who has presented the negotiation problems and delays. It has been Pac.

[mrpain81]

If Manny wins they will get the fight done, Mayweather/Pacquiao will do over 2 million buys with the potential of 3 million. It would become the biggest fight in the history of the sport, the most watched fight ever. Arum is not ****** enough to leave all that money on the table, there's enough to go around for everybody.

floyd is pushed into the corner again in less that 48 hrs.

12?am 9/20/09 shane confronts floyd

9/21/09 floyds camps says he not fighting shane

9/21/09 hours later arum says pac aint fighting floyd no time soon.

floyd has no choice its looking real bad for him if he keeps coming up with reason not to fight.

[Al Haymon]

That will be good fight, thats the fight of century

I won't lie. Articles like this make my skin tingle.

May/Pac in the Spring. In Vegas.

[BoxingChaos]

I guess to him Nov 14th is a pretty much foregone conclusion...Cotto's a live opponent

It figures Floyd would make fun of a blind man. Floyd is so low class. I hope he does go blind so he will know what it feels like. (I am reffering to your gif animation)
