    Actually yes. This fight is a sure win for Foreman and the fact so many people are coming to see Cotto will give Foreman alot of exposure.

      I bet he regrets staying with him. If he would have signed with GBP he would have been a little more protected and not the sacrifical lamb that Arum uses him as.

      He made good change with Pac but he could have still had that fight down the road and probably a mayweather fight and a mosley rematch
      that right there would be about 30 mil for him if not more
      Cotto is a man and will take on anyone.

      That is also a problem that he likes to be man in the training camp. Boxers need a person to listen to in training

        No one is saying that Arum didnt make him money
        We are talking about how he has treated Cotto
        If Arum was a real promoter he would tell manny and his camp
        no catchweight its at 147 (Iknow this is more of a Manager/trainer deal but he could have stepped in)
        He would have handled the Margarito thing better
        He has chosen Margs and Packy over Cotto several times
        that is what Im asking
        Im not saying that I am right or wrong

          Margarito was put in as an opponent to polish Cotto up for De La Hoya. The De La Hoya fight was all but done. Cotto lost and De La Hoya took Pacquiao instead

            Any thoughts?

            cause ricans are gullible? just kidding ricans. respect.

            c'mon man... cotto wanted to fight pac, so arum gave him the pac fight. arum helped make him the superstar that he is.

            when arum defended margo, he was just protecting his investment, he wasn't trying to disrespect cotto.

                    that's what it seems like their problem with arum.

                    if cotto had won those fights , they'd have no complaints.

                      are you ESL?
                      do you need me to say it espanitch ese?

                      Its not that he won or lost its how he is treated

                      so you are telling me that your boss can throw you under the bus and treat u like a step child as long as you are paid?

                      WOW
