Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Not Surprised Canelo Withdrew Cotto Offer

[Dr Rumack]

At this point I would absolutely love it if Andy Lee knocked Cotto out.

[bigjavi973]

He made less fighting Sergio Martinez than he would have had he fought Canelo last year.

Cotto just didn't want the fight. Like Arum said, there were negotiations. Cotto insisted demands be met. Once Oscar and Nelo accepted the demands the fight still wasn't signed.

Miguel " The Diva" Cotto didn't want the fight.

what are those "demands" exactly? You on the inside? cuz you know that cotto isn't gonna fight canelo outside of MSG cry me a river for those who think that canelo can give "deadlines"

[JJRod]

ya actually think cotto is gonna fight canelo anywhere near texas or the mgm? LMAO canelo gets the win by UD BEFORE they even fight. Or did ya forget the 114-114 draw vs floyd or the 118 scorecard vs lara

You're trying to spin things now.

If Cotto wanted the fight to be in NYC in June from the very beginning that's fine. But then why not make that clear from the very beginning? Why was his advisor quoted saying they were negotiating for a fight in May, saying the date was not a problem?

Are you a f*** moron? Didn't you just read this article where Arum says Oscar met Cotto's demands.

Quit trying to spin things. You're diva b!tch out on the fight.

Arum is a snaky pos... Cotto would have to be an idiot to still conduct business with Arum after Arum just threw him under the bus over a ****** deadline that had no purpose..

Arum's hostility towards Cotto and Mayweather's silence on the Pac fight... leads me to believe Cotto-Mayweather are negotiating... So a meaningless rematch at a joke of a catchweight like 154.5 is really a sell?

FIomo hypocrites: "catchweights..well Manny does them too" (even though we started the whole catchweights are the worst thing in the history of the world)

"FIomos: Floyd is fighting Cotto and Pac is fighting Vargas doe....

What am I trying to spin? I said that he wont fight giftnelo outside of msg. When did I say that the date, may 2nd, is a problem?

We are trusting arum's "words" now?

Look, I been saying Cotto wasn't going to be cool with the Mexican holiday and a Mexican venue a long time ago. But many disbelieved. I called the rude awakening a long time ago. It was way too easy to see!

Unreasonable deadline... it's just ******..and it's Canelo not De La Hoya... Canelo is an immature little entitled kid...

He wants the May 2nd date even though he doesn't even have an opponent lol...Unless Canelo is going to call out Triple G... he's going to fight a Clottey-type on non-pay-per-view?

Well its smart.Why wait for someone whos stalling and not putting
no effort in making the fight happen.Its obvious cotto wants floyd
and is using canelo.
