    Arum said Cotto and Ortiz are tough fights for Floyd and that Shane Mosley is "the best fight for Floyd to take"

    Seems Arum's memory is as good as some posters on here.

          Bob is right, two top 5 P4P fighters going head to head with the winner going to be crowned P4P no one in a very close fight as the bookmakers have it, Bradley 2/1, a fight that is only days away. And the MGM are promoting a fight that is a month away where one of the participants is a 12/1 shot in what is expected to be a one sided contest.


          Guess it either proves the MGM is ****** or that Roger is **** on and boxing fans don't know $ hit about the sport.

              Maybe Arum should have made this fight in his imaginary stadium.

                  No the MGM promote, it is there event to. Maybe Floyd paying them extra

                    Or maybe they realize Floyd v Maidana is the bigger and better event and will put a bigger push behind it

                      The MGM is just showing favoritism to the fight that is pretty much sold out, as opposed to the fight that still has tickets available 3 days from the event.
