Comments Thread For: Arum: Against Roach's Cotto, Mayweather Has No Chance

[lfc19titles]

You are so far off it's amazing. The money that Showtime paid Mayweather was so that Mayweather can fight exclusively on they're network. That money is separate from the money Mayweather gets guaranteed for a fight. Cotto made over 10 mill the last time he fought Mayweather, and he would make more in a rematch coming off this win. Fighters purses are paid primarily by the promoter, because Mayweather promotes himself he will naturally always get more the a fighter who is in a promotional contract. There are cases where a fighters guaranteed purse is made larger or sometimes even paid in full by a network, but that is not the case for Mayweather.

Note im not discussing whether or not a rematch with Mayweather makes sense. Personally i think Cotto should fight GGG, it is more intriguing.

Wrong

Mayweather does not have a licence to promote, he does not pay himself. You need to understand how it works

The money Showtime pay Floyd is his minimum guarantee for a fight, they pay a middle man like gb who pass it on to Floyd

Floyd vs cotto 2 will never happen unless cotto agrees to being ripped off

[Los Zetas]

When Floyd was talking smack about Pacroid he was sued. If I was Floyd's lawyers I would get knee deep into Rob Arum's pockets because this fool doesn't go a day without using Floyd's name in some sort of way to promote his company. .... Still Cotto can't beat Floyd. ...... Sure he won two fights but let's be honest. Sergio was a wounded man and the guy before him didn't have the heart after the bell rung. Arum must be sipping on some of his own BS roid juice. He's talking all this smack but still won't allow Pacroid to take a test to make a mega million dollar fight with Floyd. If Rob Arum want to talk smack he should start by saying he's go I g to step aside t ok allow Pacroid t ok fight . Anything less than that is Rob Arum spitting in wind....

u do realize floyd sued pac back too

do your research

Kcick till death. You are wrong. Floyd was gettin paid by GB. that purse included evrythibg, tv, gate, etc. Floyd only countersued as a matter if course- it meant nothing really. All attorneys countersue no matter what.

What could floyd sue for. Hes a public figure. Unless its slanderous, like steroids or something illegal- that is proven to be not true, theres no lawsuit

[rasdun]

Theres nithing in that link whick proves your point. Believe me, ive worked ascan attirney for promoters - floyds guarantee included the tv revenue

[Bronx2245]

Arum and Freddie are sounding the war drums. I think this actually helps Floyd his time. The fight will have to be on Showtime, Floyd no doubt is the "A" side, Cotto is a free agent, and it's a well-deserved rematch. This will be the mega-fight of 2014 if gets done. Cotto brings more to Floyd than any fighter not named Pacquiao, and even better because they can do it without Arum.

[The Big Dunn]

While what Cotto did was impressive I still don't see him beating Mayweather.

I would agree with this. I don't know if a rematch is warranted.

[Suavecito80]

Roach didn't even let Cotto enjoy his win before putting mayweather's **** back in his mouth. Seriously, what the hell?

[IMDAZED]

I guess Cotto is the new "Margarito", replacing Manny.
