Arum Receives Cotto's Terms, Pacquiao Decision Looms - Boxing News
We have pretty well ironed everything out with his team, at least I believe that. Now the question is does Miguel want to fight Manny at this time and (his advisor) Gaby(Peñagarícano) is talking to Miguel (about that).
It is no longer a money issue," Arum told boxingscene.com
During my conversation with Arum, fellow boxingscene scribe Chris Robinson chimed in and asked Arum if the agreed upon weight would be an issue. Earlier this year, a potential Pacquiao-Cotto rematch fell apart when the two boxers were unable to agree on a catch-weight between 147 and 154-pounds.
Arum says the
weight is no longer an issue.
"That is not an issue. Remember,
Manny beat the hell out of him and a fighter who gets the hell beat out of him by an opponent, if there are other options, may not want to fight the same guy," Arum stated.
I also asked Arum how realistic is a potential Cotto vs. Tim Bradley showdown - if Pacquiao decides to fight Marquez for a fourth time. In a recent boxingscene article, Bradley said he would have no problem moving up in weight for a fight with Cotto. It appears Bradley has already agreed to face Cotto -
but Arum is not sure if Cotto would feel the same.
"We've presented all the options to everybody. Bradley is totally on board to fight Cotto but Cotto may be looking for a very easy fight in December," stated Arum who pointed to Cotto's track record of taking easier fights when coming off a loss.
"Look at Cotto's career, that is what Gaby said to me (about taking easier fights after losses). After he lost to Margarito he did a transition fight against (Michael) Jennings that wasn't very competitive. After he lost to Manny he fought Yuri Foreman," he continued.
Arum is slimmy slick and subtle with what he's doing, knowing damn well he was responsible for Cotto's matchmaking, and trying to make the public feel that the money or weight has nothing to do with it basically calling Cotto scared and p*ssy, when he knew damn well Cotto wasn't really a option since Cotto is his own promoter and bows down to no one
