Cotto was unbeaten when he faced Pacquiao. Floyd ducked the unbeaten Cotto unification on HBO in 2008 because Haymon could not rig the fight because Arum promoted Cotto then. Floyd only fought Cotto later on after Cotto had lost and lost value and leverage. Cotto got a career high payday vs Floyd and soft sparred, he did not try to kill Floyd as he did vs Pac. He clearly held back, clear as day to see if you watch it closely. Cotto wasn't allowed to hurt or beat Floyd.
But to my point, didn’t Pacquiao refuse to fight the rematch with Cotto unless it was at a catchweight while Floyd fought him at 154?
Claiming that Cotto threw the Floyd fight has absolutely no merit. Beating Floyd would have been huge for his career. Makes no sense.

Cotto never demanded any rematch with Pacquiao.

Cotto took l'l floydy on a short notice emergency fight so l'l floydy could shore up his finances before incarceration.
Cotto wanted no part of Manny again, but he did take on Canelo who beat him.

Cotto couldn't get the payday if he beat Floyd. So to get paid a career high payday for sparring Floyd makes a lot of sense. You don't understand the establishment would never let Floyd lose, they made too much money off the show.

That's a pretty ridiculous statement to make with zero proof.
Pacquaio and Cotto discussed a rematch but Pacquiao wanted a catch weight.

Floyd took the fight at the full limit.
Whatever spin or explanation you want to give, it just is what it is.
