Pacquiao vs. Cotto Appears To Be Next, In November?

[street bully]

Pacquaio needs to stay down. I thought 135 was perfect for him, and he may be in a Erick Morales type of a fight come May 2nd. If he wins, which is the most likely scenario, then he should fight Marquez in a fight that wouldn't be a handicap match, and would be a evenly matched 50/50 showdown.

Bring PAC to MSG

Cotto will beat clottey. He's a stationed fighter and cotto will prove any doubters with a convincing win. I sd it before and say it again "PAC will get seriously hurt fighting cotto." Arum is doing this cuz he knows cotto is going to leave TOP RANK!!! He's trying to cash in one last time before he's gone at the end of the year!!!

[Left Hook Tua]

True BUT... with Cotto on his own, he could make just as much money fighting Mosley, without having a middleman to cut him in...

Pacman fight does bigger numbers but Cotto doesnt get the biggest cut with Arum as his promoter...

he can renegotiate arum's cut. arum will do business. arum's not dumb. a smaller cut for him to keep cotto is better than losing cotto.

very few guys make bank , on their own.

that's what promoters are for.

roy could have made BILLIONS if was promoted by arum instead of promoting himself.

i'm serious.

as good as cotto is he'll need opponents. promoters have a way of hyping up guys just to feed to their superstars.

[FUC_U_PAYME]

co-sign.

Pac has no business fighting cotto who will be around 154-56 come fight time.

agreed 100%

pac dies if it happens. If cotto wins over clottey, he needs to go after ssm. And if pac wins over hatton, fight the 3rd jmm fight.

cosign

60-40 mayweather will be sitting on his ass watching pac fight marquez , cotto or shane. lol

That's probably why he's going for Marquez. He's going to screw him over in money then make him come up to 147. I blame Oscar for creating this monster.

IMHO 60/40 in Floyd s favor seems very reasonable.

It may be about more then money at this point though... Cotto got his first loss, possibly by a cheat.. he was damaged physically and mentally in front of his country... thats a DEEP cut... and to have his promoter back the other guy?

That may lead to more then money or a pac fight with Cotto.

Getting away from Arum could be the most important thing to him after the circumstances...

We will have to wait and see though...


And yeah Roy could of made a lot more money most likely... but he did it his way, and was comfortable and enjoyed his situation.. so...

[lopez36]

agree,cotto will come in too heavy,i mean when he fough at 140 he was always too big for his opponents,manny should stay at 135...i've said it before,cotto would just look like a hipocrite taking this fight,he critized oscar for fighting someone who used to be a flyweight,saying it hurts the sport and that there are other fighters he could fight at welter like williams,and now he is probably going to do the same,even if they are about the same height,they are not the same in weight,which is a big difference

[savorduhflavor]

I agree with Tua.

Arum will be like alright Miguel, sign an extension and you have Pacquiao.

The good part about this is that it could lead to a Cotto/Mayweather fight.

Floyd/JMM winner(Floyd) vs. Pac/Cotto winner(Cotto). And we have our dream match.

Arum is such smart business guy. He knows Pac's fighting max two more fights after Hatton. So he's serving up his biggest cash cow to his second biggest cash cow to make Cotto, who is the future, a bigger star. It makes sense.
