Arum got wind of Haymon trying to get the Cotto rematch.

There's a bit of good news. Freddie Roach will finally be training someone to fight Floyd. The bad news, it will be Miguel Cotto.

@RickGlaser1
Hearing Haymon has reached out to Miguel Cotto's attorney talking rematch. And we all thought Floyd-Manny was being negotiated! SMH! #boxing

@RickGlaser1
Haymon's a snake in the grass, if he opts for #Floyd-#Cotto rematch rather than Floyd-#Manny mega bout every fan should boycott it! #boxing

@RickGlaser1
Lucky Haymon doesn't have your home address, he'd levage your Thanksgiving turkey on Floyd's behalf just to stay away from Manny! #boxing

@RickGlaser1
If your a #Floyd fan you know in your heart Floyd-Manny isn't happening, & #Manny fans don't wait for the Floyd-Manny bell to ring! #boxing

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has a backup plan in place - in the event negotiations fall apart for a 2015 mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Arum is holding talks with CBS CEO Les Moonves, who claims he is capable of securing Mayweather for the fight. But promoters have tried to make Mayweather-Pacquiao for several years without much success.

The man who is certainly a short list candidate to face Pacquiao next - is WBA 'regular' junior welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (26-0, 9KOs).

Did the boxing world miss something and Floyd is now a TOP RANK fighter??????? Arum, Freddie and Pacroid talk like Floyd works for them with all the mentioning of his name and the fighters he's going to face...... You would think Floyd is under the always extension to fight anyone Top Rank contract. People are quick to jump on every word that comes out of Bob's lying zza mouth when it comes to Mayweather. ....

[bojangles1987]

**** you, Arum. Pacquiao shouldn't even be in the same ring as Vargas if he was training Vargas's opponent, let alone fighting him.

Surprise Suprise.

Arum always has "Plan B" ready from quite early.

Yep, it's amazing how Floyd is always the fight he's 'trying to make' in all of Pac's next fight promotion tours, all the while constantly throwing in mentions of TR in house fighters who, lo and behold!, always end up being the guy in the fight.

It's become a joke. Im amazed that some boxing journalists aren't bringing this up with him more. It's clearly been his go-to media strategy for promoting anything to do with Pac for years now. Mention Floyd, negotiations between a bunch of random companies for the fight, that aren't Floyd Mayweather, and stadiums, plus a sneaky, quick little mention of a plan B bum fight (which he's already had organised and signed since day one) and he's done his job.

He's not trying to get a Floyd fight going. He's already given the fight to Vargas and unless something else comes up, and it won't be Floyd, then it's just another dud in house TR fight between an ageing legend and a relative nobody.

I'd be happy with Garcia. Very happy in fact. Getting tired of Pac's fights. Considering who his rival is getting **** for fighting, it's pretty laughable that most of the same people can't be found when it comes to Pac's latest career incarnation.
