So Cotto came straight from a loss to win a 154lb title?

[Jim Tom]

Do you consider Cotto a legitimate 154lbs champion or you can see into Bob Arum's manouverings,that Cotto was being set up to fight Pacquiao again and kill the Mayweather fight?

[ИATAS]

I don't think the bobfather really cared who won - foreman or cotto. If foreman won, he had a new rising ***ish star, one that was very marketable. If cotto won, well as you can see he's somewhat "reborn" and has options.

Before the fight, critics were saying he's a good feed for Yuri.

[IMDAZED]

It's not like he's the real 154lb champ so who cares? My only issue is that I'd rather see him continue to improve with Steward (and extend his career) then jump back into the frying pan for $5m and get hammered by Pacquiao.

Cotto did well but this was very well set up by Arum, He knew that Cotto doesnt have much left so he put him in there with the inexperienced Foreman to pick up another belt. Another belt that Arum wants to pass on to his pet/cash cow Manny Pacquiao. But belts don't mean much anymore, The best welterweight doesnt even have a belt.

Hmmm let's see....

Make the most money against Mayweather, or purposely sabotage that fight to make a lot less money against someone Pac already beat.

They're going for the Floyd fight, but they need a Plan B. If Floyd's plan B is to fall back until next year, he himself is risking making the most money of his career. Unless GBP has some brilliant Plan B's for Floyd, he needs this as much as Pac does.

Yes I think this was all part of Bob Arum's devious plot to make less money. Obviously, like Darth Sidious in Star Wars, Bob Arum is just moving pieces on a chessboard with the ultimate goal of making as less money as possible.

Think about it: Why would Bob Arum want his cut of $1,000,000,000,000,000,000? Obviously, Bob Arum wants to spend his time promoting a **** fight between Pac and Cotto/Margarito for a fraction of what he would make against Floyd.

Open your eyes people! Why can't you understand it's a conspiracy to make less money!!!

Let's not forget Foreman's leg injury which totally changed the fight. It was a good win for Miguel, but not enough to make him a legit champ at 154 in my book.

Of course......he needs to be ready when Ellerbe wants it bad.
