Cotto Refuses To Fight Pacquiao Below 145-Pounds

[Dave Rado]

are you nuts? Promoter has never been an employee ever since. They're both on equal footing. Promoters are just trying to fish something before the deal.

In the case of the promoter you could say they both employ the other; the boxer employs the promoter to make matches, negotiate deals, and promote them, the promoter employs the boxer to fight. But in the case of an adviser like Salud it's cut and dried, he's employed by Pacquiao.

In effect he has said exactly that, except he's said he's willing to come down 2lb but no more than that. I think it would be better if he said no to catchweight altogether, we have enough divisions as it is. But if he thinks he can manage 2lb but no more than that without being weight drained, and if he stands by that, I don't see how you can criticise him too much.

Then that's it. no need to argue about!!!

It's settled then. Cotto should fight the legit 147. And Pacquiao should fight those who's willing to his terms, that's all. No bull****ting.

Nobody is forcing Cotto to fight PAC nor does PAC is forced to fight Cotto.

Is that clear?

[RRICAN]

Pac should fight Mosley at 144 then. It will be for a major and lineal title. PBF won`t fight Cotto, and Cotto would be out of circulation.

jajajajaja good joke bro , i think it is def the other way around pac can pack and go home there no money at 140

No he's responding to being called out.

And the idea that if your employees say something on your behalf, you have no responsibility for what they said, is ridiculous. If Pac doesn't want his advisers and promoter to call out Cotto on his behalf he should just put a stop to it, they are his employees.

Ok No. Pac is Arum's CLIENT. Arum's not some 9-5 worker with benefits and hour-long lunch breaks. There's a clear cut distinction unless you want to go into some metaphorical bull**** but as it stands, that's the relationship between both. Now how can he be responsible for whatever his promoter says? Should every fighter Don King promoted be held responsible for all the crap that he spews?

Pac's one of the few who genuinely doesn't give a **** whose put in front of him. If Arum is simply a puppet and he's pulling the strings, why the heck would Pac need hm for. That was a completely ridiculous statement, specially given the nature of the business and the people working around it.

Cut it out.

Salud or any other advisers are there just to give some points. They are not the decision makers.

All are just testing the waters. They are fishing for the best.

If it won't work, then it won't.

Yeah what a ***** refusing to put himself through hell to make weight so he can then go out and get beat up coz he is dead at the weight, pfft wake up!

Guys took on all comers since HE moved up in weight, Mosley, Judah, Quintana, Margarito and now Clottey

A little contradicting there eh? You had a different opinion to a similar case with May-Marquez.

cotto knows..smart move

he'll leave pacman to maywheather

cotto vs mosely is what i wanna see next
and shane needs to fight agian soon..

but 147 is booked of the big names
and shane isin't looking for a small payday we all know

Cotto cant make weight. And Cotto has a better chance to beat Mayweather than Manny. Manny would also have much more trouble with Cotto than Mayweather. Look at the strength difference and Mayweathers lack of activity.

thats what im talkin bout miguel dont let these fools play u.

Great Point. Pacquiao would be forced to move up if he seeks MAJOR money. The WW division has all the biggest money fighters right now.
