Cotto is putting his title on the line.
Cotto most likely will get 40 % of the purse which it is good.
He will go down in weight to fight someone that already fought at 147
If Cotto beats pacquiao, he wont be p4p #1
He does got a lot of money for the fight and technically another big name in his resume especially if he wins. It doesn't matter what others would say regarding the weight issues because Pacquiao is a very big name in boxing today. Despite that there are things that will be put on the line also from Cotto's end.
What Cotto will get is a chance to fight Mayweather and other fighters...also the ability to dictate negotiations..
No credit will be given for beating up on a small pac...Thats what I have been hearing on these boards...
Though I think it's a slap in the face to the great hero of Asia Manny Pacquiao.
I will give him credit
I agree. The reason i pull for cotto is becuz he's cague~o like me. But pacquiao can win, they both can. This fight has generated a lot of heated threads and arguments because:
a lot of pinoys think pac is a god
and a lot of boricuas think cotto will do good considering he did great against quick slick southpaws ( quintana and judah ), and because simply Miguel is bigger and he's a proven welterweight who's fought 4 out of the 5 top welters.
it's going to be interesting....very interesting...and cotto has a lot to gain ppl who say he just wins "money" clearly dont know that he'd be beating the top boxing icon of the moment.
Damn...Nice quote Raptor....
ahahahahahaha that one is very funny rocky.
But as I said earlier, I'm a cotto fan as much as a pac fan. Only reason why I'm rooting for pac is he's a fellow pinoy even if sucks big time for trying to become a politician and making himself look like a fool.

like he doesnt have a lot of that. sold out msg with judah and sold a whole bunch of tickets against clottey, mosley, and margarito. you guys act like pacquiao is a ticket seller. he just went from selling 300 ppv to 700 ppv cuz of his oponents
tunnel vision...selling out MSG on regular HBO isnt earth shattering.
Are you telling us Manny isnt a ticket seller? #57 on top 100 celebrity list. 6th highest paid athlete tied with lebron and right behind Jordan, Kobe and Beckham. Teh only boxer on any of these lists this year.
Where's cotto or Mannys opponents on these lists??
on top of that he needs to make more than 12 million which is what he made in the Hatton fight. the only successfull way to do that is too sueeze Cotto out of money. I gaurantee Cotto wont make more than the Margarito fight
Cotto isnt gaining much but future huge PPV draw maybe.
sayin that cotto gainst nothing is retarded. if cotto wins, he gains a lot.
beat the P4P KING, who is already considered ATG, if u beat an ATG, means ur ATG urself in most cases.
and no way floyd ignores him after that, unless he comes up with the same "who dat guy who beat mosley the guy who beat margarito and these guys fighting each other but none beat floyd " ( maybe becuz u dont fight them... ) theory...
if cotto beats pacquiao, it's going to catapult him to the same level of importance as Tito and BEnitez.
In fact if he beats Pacquiao...he can retire and not be regretful of his career.
he's beaten top 140 and 147 competition already...
I dont get this.. how about..exposure? a gauranteed 24/7, $$$$, fighting the most sought out fighter out there.
What isnt Cotto getting out of this?

Q: What is Cotto getting from the Pacquiao fight?
A: An ass whoopin'.ahahahahahaha that one is very funny rocky.
But as I said earlier, I'm a cotto fan as much as a pac fan. Only reason why I'm rooting for pac is he's a fellow pinoy even if sucks big time for trying to become a politician and making himself look like a fool.
lol, cotto has nothing to gain? what about legacy? i think people sometimes assume others are as money driven as themselves. dont get me wrong, im sure he's going to get every penny he can out of his career but you can tell he's chasing ATG status.
well the argument for that is that Pacquiao was a naturally smaller man and that this was expected but was outshined due to the hype but in the end it shouldve been the outcome from the start

yea but Pacquiao is getting the lions share. I heard it was also 70-30 split
on top of that he needs to make more than 12 million which is what he made in the Hatton fight. the only successfull way to do that is too sueeze Cotto out of money. I gaurantee Cotto wont make more than the Margarito fight

Its the most money he can make. Only other payday on this level for him would be Mayweather
