The Hatton/Pac negotiations had similar problems and they worked it out just as Floyd/Pac will. I don't like all these negotiations going on through the media though since it only annoys the boxing fans! They should keep the negotiations private instead of trying to have the media influence either fighters team to take less money...
Pac's team trying to get Cotto to try and make 142 pounds is ridiculous when Pac can easily make 147, but Cotto would have to really dehydrate himself to get down to 142, that wouldn't be fair! If Pac wants to fight at WW he shouldn't be trying to make the WW's kill themselves making weight nearly a weight class below.
The problem is that Manny needs this fight way more than Floyd.
