    At least he wasn't on a corner begging. And what fighter is going to fight for free? Everyone's got bills to pay.

    If you read between the lines in this story, what Arum is really saying is that he is not yet ready to sacrifice Pacquaio to Mayweather because he wants to squeeze all the money he can out of Pacquaio before Mayweather beats his ass and ruins everything. If the situation were reversed, Arum would be screaming about the PPV numbers and how Pacquaio deserves more because of them.

    As far as Mosley is concerned, I am sure Mayweather will fight him, but he will do it in his own time. As someone on this site said, when Floyd needed Mosley, Mosley had a toothache. Now Mosley needs Floyd, and he is bitching because Floyd won't jump at the "golden opportunity" of fighting Mosley for one third of the money he would make against Pacquaio or half the money he would make against Cotto.

    If Cotto beats Pac, Mayweather will fight Cotto next. If Pac beats Cotto, Mayweather will likely fight Mosley next because Arum will squeeze another money-making opportunity out of Pac against some stiff before he sacrifices him to Mayweather.
    Absolutely.

    And wasn't it Arum, Roach, and many "other people" on certain forums claiming Mayweather-Marquez would fail like the Titanic?

    So after watching how Floyd handled Marquez, now he says Floyd should concentrate on Mosley and other welters as if Cotto and Pacquiao are not welters?

    It's easy to see what he's on about.

    I say sure, why not fight Mosley, but why not after the winner of Pacquiao-Cotto? There's much more money there than with a fight with
    Mosley.

He often cites his pay-per-view numbers as a big factor in demanding more money than Manny. In at least two interviews, Mayweather has taken the position of demanding at least a 60-40 split in his favor. [details]
      this is hilarious!!! The funniest thing I heard all day!

        PacBoy sounds ******ed to me. Arum is afraid of Mayweather and mad because Floyd left him. Mayweather is too smart for a dumb promoter like Arum controlling his money and continue to hold him back. Mayweather is truly his own man and calls his shots. He don't need Arum because if the fans want this fight to happen all Manny or Cotto have to do is leave him like Floyd did and control their own money.
        Bob is an old ignorant prick and I wish he would move on. Don King would have made the best fights happen. Don knew how to make money without worrying about having a big ego. He wouldn't let his ego get in the way of making money. Oscar left Arum as well and controlled his money; and Cotto and Manny would be best served to do the same thing.....

          first of all floyd is the best arum. and second he can't fight the best becuase bob won't allow the winner between cotto and pac which would be the best. bob knows that floyd will spank both and is using the money or mosley to **** up the mega fight.

            Future Mayweather Opponents

            If it's up to Floyd future opponents include:
            1. Jin Mosely - the last person to beat Shane.
            2. Delahoya - a revitalized Delahoya.
            3. Berto - he's undefeated and has a belt; he must be an all time great!
            4. Shane Mosely in 2015

            I'm not, you're not, nobody here is.


            Fight fans care about in ring results.

            Fighter fans care about how much money their mancrush makes.


            I couldn't even begin to tell you how much Erik Morales has made or how many PPVs hes done.


            You know why?



            I watch boxing for what happens in the ring.

              Arum was hoping to see some ring rust on Floyd after nearly two years away from the ring. What he saw made him think twice about putting his fighters against Floyd.

                I agree, I would love to see that fight... I mean I am more interested in the Pacquiao vs Cotto winner but if Floyd and Shane fight in say January then the winner of that can fight the winner of Pacquiao vs Cotto in June or something.
