It has been reported by Mayweather, Golden Boy, and other members from his camp, that no negotiations are taking place between the two sides. It's been widely reported that Bob Arum is just talking to these random "investors" to put up money for the fight, even though a fight like this needs absolutely NO investors what so ever. While Floyd, Schaefer, De La Hoya, Ellerbe, and most likely Haymon as well, continue to say "Bob Arum, stop the bulls**t and lets make the fight", Arum continues his s**t about FLoyd going solo, not needing Golden Boy to be involved, how the fight is already almost done, etc. All the while, Pac has also been rumored to be fighting Marquez or Bradley next on June 9, 2012 and it's become a serious possibility as well.
So, while it seems we are no closer to Mayweather-Pacquiao than we ever have been, due to Bob Arum's constent bulls**t, who would you like to see Floyd face next???
There are major rumors about Cotto leaving Top Rank and pursuing a fight with Floyd at 154, but how much credit would Floyd actually get for that??? He'd be fighting a guy who he was accussed of ducking a couple years ago, but also a guy that's past his prime. Cotto;s prime was 2003-2008, his last time being prime against Antonio in 08'. From 2009-Present, he's past prime-still good. Definitely not the same guy he was 3 years ago, but fairly similar to the guy he was 2 years ago when he fought Pacquiao, and also at 154 lbs now. So, while it'd be a solid fight, he won't get as much credit as Manny, and rightfully so. Manny fought this version of Cotto first, back in 2009. It's the same with how Floyd fought the better version of Hatton 2 years before Manny, Oscar 1 1/2 years before, Mosley 1 year before, and Marquez at 144 2 years before Pac did. I still find it hard to see Floyd fighting Cotto, though it wouldn't be terrible.
Who do you want to see him fight on May 5, 2012, if Bob Arum continues his constent blocking of May-Pac?????
