Day in day out I read alot of posters talking about how Pacquiao should tell Cotto to kick rocks if he doesent want to play by his rules. I actually have seen this for other potential fighters for Pacquiao as well. I think Cotto should not budge for crazy demands. What you guys are not seeing is that Pacquiao does not have many options for the money he and his team looks for.
There are 4 major names in boxing right now
Floyd Mayweather
Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Marquez
Miguel Cotto
2 of those are not available. So that leaves Shane and Miguel if Pacquiao wants to make a mega fight. There is no one at his weight division of 140 who he can make a mega fight out of. And I think Miguel should realize this. I dont know but I just dont see Pacquiao wanting his next fight to be against Tim Bradley, Nate Campbell, or Marcos Maidana. Where as I can see Cotto taking fights with Shane Mosley, Andre Berto, or Kermit Cintron. I actually think Cotto should not even budge for the 145 catch weight and say 147 or nothing. If Pacquiao cant fight properly in the welterweight division, why not fight 140 pounders, his division, with out trouble on the weight?
He wont budge and the fight will be made at 145. End of it.
cotto shouldn't even go down to 145 lbs. he should demand the fight at 147 lbs. anything else and he's pac's biitch.

cotto should be delighted to even have the chance to be in the ring with a p4p number 1. simple as that.
When I went to the Garden to watch the Cotto-Clottey fight, the fans were unbelievable. He's got such a solid fan base.
Plus the numbers for Cotto-Marg were very good. Cotto in my eyes is just a big of a draw in the States as Manny and shouldn't have to settle for 35%
