    Mayweather vs. Cotto: Is Floyd Ducking or Banking?

    Background - In 2007, WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (32-0, 26KOs) emerged as the biggest threat to the welterweight reign of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25KOs). Cotto's wins over Zab Judah and Shane Mosley have catapulted him into the boxing spotlight. Mayweather took part in two fights in 2007, against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, winning both and earned millions in the process. [details]

    $10 million for Cotto at most? Is that everything Arum could give? Then Arum cetainly doesn't want this fight to happen. He afforded almast the same for Margarito, who beat ABSOLUTELY no one to that moment. Cotto beat Zab, Mosely, Malinaggi, Quintana and this gives only $2m more?

        I think Tony's gonna win, which could lead to a rematch. I said in anotha thread that Cotto v Tony is a better fight than either v Floyd, but I'd like to see the winner get their shot at him. If he refuses to do it it won't really matter tho cuz we'll still have a real WW champ without Floyd in the pic.

          I thought he was banking until I heard he's gonna let his WBC strap go.

              Good article. Difficult to argue with it.


              I dont understand how Floyd vs Oscar 2 is bigger money than Floyd vs Cotto.

              Thats bull****.

                As long as fight with Cotto provides $10m at most for Floyd, Oscar rematch is bigger for Floyd.

                  the idiot that wrote this article is a floyd jr hater. i don't care what he says in context. i don't like magarito but i like mayweather and cotto and would love to see them fight each other but this idiot that wrote this article can't even pick up a boxing glove, *****.
