Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao vs. Cotto-Margarito Winner in September

[AssasinKing]

Why are they ducking Berto, Bradley-Alexander winner? MAN, this is some bull****. This is the same type of **** Floyd Mayweather Jr. did when he was part of this sport.

I dont think they are ducking them at all

I would say, Mosley or Cotto would beat either of Bradley or Alexander...

They are just trying to make the most PPV numbers possible

Even though i would rather them just fight the more up and comers, then eachother again

It will be a bigger shame if Manny actually goes through with this "plan".

bob is manny's boss, he will go through with it.

i hate this **** too but why is everyone surprised at this? we all know bob and gbp don't see eye to eye. arum will keep on with the in house fights and will keep on making money instead of having to split money with another promoter.

It's not just golden boy, Arum doesn't seem to want to work with any other promoters.

Where were all the *****'s when Fraud was fighting Ndou, Mitchell, Gatti, Oscar, Baldomir, Bruseles and Sosa?


You guys have NO room to talk at all.

yup thats what it is, if he matches pac with another top rank fighter, his piece of the pie is less than if he keeps it in house. its bad for the sport but he don't care.

**** Bob Arum, and this is coming from a big Pacquiao fan

Generally when you stage a rematch, it's because the first fight was closely contested. What about Cotto being dominated and backing away for half the fight or Margarito being completely outclassed and literally getting his face broken says 'rematch necessary'?

Absolutely ridiculous. I hope Bob decides to spend more time with his family and let's DuBoef take over Top Rank.

You are on to something, my man....look at the recent event, Mosley had to leave Golden Boy to get a fight with Manny. Arum also wanted Marquez to leave, so he can have full promotional rights. Arum wants a monopoly on the promotional biz. Arum is taking boxing to his grave....it's sad, very sad.

Spot on, unfortunately

I'm a big Manny fan but I'm not watching either Pac-Cotto II or Pac-Marg II. I think Arum is much smarter not to do these rematches, but if he did anyway, then f-u-c-k him and f-u-c-k Team Pac if they take any of these matches.

This is a disgrace.

Seriously what does arum get from all of this? In five years time he will most likely be dead. Stop standing in the way...I rather watch Oscar fight Pac again then Cotto or Margarito.

oh and clottey was popular.

I'm not defending Arum, but Clottey was an in-house fight, against a top contender. The best alternative $$$ wise at the time.
