Source, Evan Korn of FightHype:  Bob Arum, one of most powerful promoters in boxing held court Wednesday in front of a small group of reporters, discussing everything from Floyd Mayweather’s recent comeback to the upcoming Pacquiao-Cotto superfight, It was something else Arum said that especially piqued my interest.

When asked about the potential of a Cotto-Mosley rematch should Cotto beat Pacquaio or look good in defeat, Arum wasted no time in drumming up interest in another potential rematch.

“A Mosley rematch {is possible}, or a match that would do even better is a Margarito rematch. “Margarito should be available in February.”

Whether Margarito’s U.S. suspension is lifted remains to be seen. But the fact that Margarito will potentially be allowed to fight again, let alone for seven-figures against Cotto, is alarming.

  1. Looks like Arum has waited until “the time is right” to get some support for Margo, who Arum hasn’t able to cash in on due to the suspension. Let’s face it, he wants to keep the title and and mega fights “in the family”, where he’ll continue a personal “win-win” position. Why take a chance of having “the prize” end up in the hands of “the enemy”?? If Pac wins then a Floyd fight will be possible ONLY if Floyd is willing to humble himself and meet Arum’s/Pac’s/Freddie’s demands, weight included. Besided , The Bobfather knows that Pac’s retirement is just around the corner. maybe only one more fight. If Cotto wins then making the Floyd fight might not be Arum’s first option if Margo gets his license back. A Mosley rematch?? Forget it!! Berto?? Well, he’s supposed to have a mandatory with Collazo BUT.. is also being mentioned for a Mosley fight. Mosley will have to soften his demands and allow Berto to make the money he’s looking for because where else can he go?? To the dead 154Lb division?? A possibility of facing Williams is gone for now and possibly forever if Paul defeats Pavlik.

    But going back to Arum and Margo… The Bobfather has a plan and part of the plan is keeping “the jewels” in the family. Besides… his contract with Margo is running and has had nothing to $how for it as of late. peace!!
