It may be an udder delight because Arum is uncowed but he could win Milkman of the Year honors for the way he has been filling bucket after bucket after bucket with all this Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto drama.
I hesitate to rain on a Pacland Pacquiao Poll in which fervent fans are lining up in record numbers to render their nearly unanimous opinion that the Pinoy Idol should dump WBO welterweight champion Cotto and seek out willing--even desperate--Sugar Shane Mosley as his next foe.
By throwing cold water on the Pacand Poll, I am also dousing my raging fire on a Pacquiao Poll here on Examiner.com and on Boxingconfidential.com.
I know this makes me a party pooper of the worst sort but, folks, it’s time to take a chill pill, eat some balut and hit the hammock.
Pacman will be in the ring against Cotto Nov 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The WBO welterweight crown will be on the line and some weigh in arrangement will be made to satisfy both.
Playing the peacemaker and the conquering hero, Yankee fan Arum will make this snooze news public on Sept. 10 at Yankee Stadium with Cotto and Pacman sitting at his side.
It will be Arum’s biggest pinstripe moment since he promoted Ali-Norton III at the old stadium in 1977.
So forget about Sugar Shane Mosley. He can sit in mothballs next to Bernard Hopkins over at Golden Boy.
Arum tipped his hand by revealing only 3,000 fight tickets will be offered to the general public. The rest are spoken for, going to the MGM and other casinos and to the greedy scalpers who will pimp them for recorrd numbers.
Relax, Pacfans, the foe will be Cotto and it take place with Manny being able to break his “tie” with Oscar de la Hoya, to capture a world title in a seventh weight division.
That’s the boxing truth.
Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
Keep voting if you wish but i think the moving finger has writ and writ large on the wall.
For the record, despite the Other Manny and Big Papi revelations, I remain throwing my hands in the air like a true playa...
Cradle to grave, baby, Boston Roid Sox all the way!
We even cheat better than those Damned Yankees.
