LMAO I just heard this from his people, they might tell arum they want 20mills and maybe they will accept 18mills to do the fight at 147.
They will accept 15mills for a chavez fight at 157.
hahaahahha Arum is fukked!!!
Okay, I'm gonna' be frank for a second here. Miguel, based on his thorough ass-kicking at the hands of Pacquiao, shouldn't be mentioned in the likes of Pacquiao as a potential opponent. After all, he was one of many opponents on the thrashing end of Pacquiao's incredible hot streak from mid 2008 to late 2010. However, you COULD (COULD) make the argument he had the "best" performance among those who failed (between Diaz, DLH, Hatton, Clottey, Margarito). Yes, he got his ass kicked from pillar to post but he whenever he boxed, he would have success against Pacquiao.
These are facts what I'm about to state, not opinions:
Cotto won the first round on all judges' scorecards.
Cotto fought so well after the knockdown during the third round, that TWO judges gave that round to Pacquiao 10-9 (impressive considering Pacquiao scored a knockdown)
Cotto won the 10th round on TWO of the judges' scorecards (consider that this was VERY late in the fight and by then Cotto's wife had left because of the beating he was taking in 8th and 9th rounds.) He somehow managed to box Pacquiao successfully despite how badly, badly he was beaten up by then.
I don't know where all this Cotto-Pacquiao II talk is coming from, but if it happens, it needs to happen at 154. I've been saying it since before it started to catch on; COTTO CANNOT GO TO 147. When he was fighting Mayorga, people were saying: "Cotto needs to move back down." He can't. I'm positive he was having some difficulties getting down to 147, tht 145 catchweight was the final straw. He said, "Nah...I'm goin' to 154."
To ask him to go down to 147 after fighting at 154 for TWO years is bull. If he were a gym rat, that'd be ok but Cotto isn't. He likes to knock back a few drinks and balloon in weight sort of like Hatton (though not as much). If Cotto is ABLE to make 147, he will be a DEAD MAN walking.
People really want to see this fight? Joking right? I don't want this fight at any weight. Why? Because we already seen what happened. Even if this fight was at 150, all people would be saying is he's taking another easy fight. Now, everyone is clamoring for a fight at 150? LMAO. It's either Mayweather or bust
well I am a pacfan, Manny already fought margarito at 150, if he can not fight cotto at 154 just do not make the fight...
The problem is Manny obviously WANTS Cotto but he will only fight him at 147. Its sad and pathetic truly, how this warrior has turned into a bigger vagina than Mayweather is beyond my comprehension. You already beat the guy even though he had looked average since his loss to Margarito, Pac still had to get those extra two pounds. I am not taking away anything from his win, and its a weight that they both agreed upon, but now it makes Manny look like he knows he CAN lose to Cotto. F*ck that, Manny lost a fan and now I want Mayweather to win if they ever fought, I'm sick of Manny and Arum's sh*t. There is blame on both sides, but Mayweather is against the wall with him going to jail, and they still say sh*t like his c*t, or we need a stadium. Umm... WTF Arum I live here in Vegas and Sam Boyd holds 35k people, stop ducking or say we don't want to stop milking Manny. But Jesus stop making the lamest excuses to get out of this fight.
If he's going to get drained down and beat silly...the least he could do is get paid a handsome purse for his troubles. It's really a shame how theses guys at Top Rank are just having a circle jerk with these fighters. Margarito, Cotto, and Pacquiao bouncing fights between one another. They're limiting themselves big time. They have a small pool of fights to choose from and when they're done fighting each other twice or 3 times, they just fade off until their money runs out.
so that's the result of pac-arum meeting i guess?
pac checked the shopping list and said he wanted cotto ..... but at 147 ...., and arum said they are going to try to make the fight? what the hell another rematch with a cw no thanks!
cotto cannot make 147 comfortably that's why he's been campaigning at 154 for a while already... if pac wants a drained dude to feast on then open your wallet bob!
lol at people making Foreman out to be like a beast he was the weakest belt holder point blank period
that fight was the equivalent to Pacquiao vs Diaz actually that was the original plan too
Wasn't Foreman that dude that Manny wanted no part of? He aint a beast but he is a fighter who can creat problems for others with his style.
No i dont need to put up a link, people know im a good source.
anyways, youll see some story developing in the media in the next couple of days!
link or your full of **** kthnxs.
Yesssss...hope this is true. Would love to see a Canelo Cotto showdown. Plus it keeps the BS rematch out of the picture for Pac and almost at this point FORCES him to take something worth watching. Same goes for Floyd.
lol at people making Foreman out to be like a beast he was the weakest belt holder point blank period

Rank the title holders at the time. And, give me your reason why you felt Foreman was the weakest title holder at that time?
Cotto doesn't stick to any demand, he asked for 150 for Margarito and got 153. He asked for 147 or no fight for Pacquiao and got bent over for 145.
He doesn't stick to his demands. People getting all excited when Cotto can't even get bum ass Margarito who had no right in negotiating anything, to get down to 150. All of a sudden he's gonna get Pacquiao the diva to let him get 20Mill and give up some of his purse.
Keep dreaming. Cotto will cave in to way less than 20mill if this fight happens. And he's not getting no 15mill with Chavez.
And his Foreman win is his best win at 154 and a win I give him credit for.
20 Million is too much.. I dont think he made 10 Million in his last fight so I dont get the demand for a 20 Mil paycheck.. Plus only Pac and Floyd can command a 20 Million paycheck, and no one else...If he asked for 10-15 Million would probably be a reasonable request.. Though I really hate this fight.. Damn Pac.. Fight Bradley if you cant get Floyd...
a lot of people here downplaying that cotto victory, but it was a good solid win for miguel and should not be taken away from him...
i dont know why so many ppl hate on cotto, for one he has never ducked anyone,,he always comes to fight, and is a true gentleman,, im puerto rican and guatemalan so i hate the whole mexican puerto rican shiiz that goes on in here,,, i got mexican cousins,, we need to stop the whole i hate you boxer cus he's mexican or puerto rican,,,,some of my favorite boxers have been mexican.
i am a cotto fan to the death but im a fan of manny, floyd,marquez,canelo(i hate chavez jr thou). i see dudes in here jus stirrin up shiiit to stir up shiit. the puerto ricans didnt put plaster in margo's gloves and if i say that i have to say most mexicans arent dirty fighters. i'll end this by saying manny needs to fight at the jmw limit if hes gonna fight cotto, if not cotto should jus let him fight someone else, hopefully canelo or floyd,,,phuck sergio who only calls out small fighters andre ward just said he would fight sergio but sergio hasnt even acknowledged this
Manny is letting us know that he won't beat Miguel Cotto at his weight. First, at 147 made him go down to 145 and beat the **** out of Miguel. He's still the same Miguel and wants him to go dow from 154 to 147. Manny is letting us know that he's afraid of Miguel Cotto if he's not weight-drained. That's very clear!
thanks brother at least someone in here knows that the concensus was that yuri was gonna box the socks off of cotto,,,it was arums dream to have his jewish champion beat cotto and become marketable at least in ny,,cotto said oh no no no mr arum. gtfoh

If Manny doesn't want Cotto at 150 then there is no point to a rematch, Manny is officially losing me as a fan each day. He went from this fearless warrior to just as much as an entitled b*tch as Mayweather, even worse. To me it just screams that he can't fight Cotto without him being "drained" or at least not at his best weight. He has been doing this for a while now, but against a guy you already beat? Come on dude, man the f*ck up for real.
well I am a pacfan, Manny already fought margarito at 150, if he can not fight cotto at 154 just do not make the fight...
What was wrong with fighting foreman? That was a good fight for him. He was coming off a bad loss, and fought foreman for his title. Foreman was undefeated, ranked to 5 at 154 and I remember a lot of people saying it was a bad style matchup for cotto and many picked foreman to win.

Cotto might ask for 20Mills Guarantee for a PAc Fight at 147 | BoxingScene Community
