    does pacman team really want the cotto fight??

    or were they just talking **** and now cotto has called their bluff???

    cause all i keep hearing is excuses for the fight not to happen..was it just a ploy that has backfired or is this all legit negotiations??

    I feel Pacquiaos team started spouting a lot of shiet of thier mouth without having studied Cotto and now they are slowly but surely backing Pacquiao off this fight.

    They now know why Mayweather has been reluctant to take on this type of fighter.

    He is one dangerous mother ****er.

    I have a feelign Roach has already spread enough wisdom to pacs team letting them know that this shouldnt have been the decision so soon after Hatton.

      to answer your question.

      I feel it was to maybe get Floyd out of the Marquez fight BUT Floyd decided to stick with Marquez.

      Now they got thier hands full and are knee deep in a Cotto bout. The fight wont get signed because of the weight alone. Its thier only excuse since COtot has already reported he wont go down to 144-143

          I got money already set to go to vegas and am ready to get some tickets as soon as they go on sale .

          My girl is a filipina and im half mexican half puerto rican. So im 100% rooting for Cotto for my fallen mexican brothas and one of my favorite Puerto rican boxing stars.

          Hopefully this shiet gets signed and terms are reasonable for a great match up.

          I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt get signed though

            it is getting ridiculous. Pac needs to make up his mind to make it happen or not. If it happens i say 145 is fair.

            I wanna see competition not a statue or heavy bag that pacquiao gets to wallop on without getting hit back

                They don't want it with a healthy live Cotto, plain and simple. They wanted the fight signed in the hope of negotiating the weight to 143. They originally agreed to 145 but are slowly pushing again for 143 and if the money is right, I can see Cotto being persuaded. I hope to God he isn't but you never know in this sport.

                  wait for the details when it becomes official. all this talk is from philippine newspaper articles. they follow pac like tabloids follow princess diana for crying out loud.

                  cotto is the easiest out of his possible other fights (mosley , mayweather , etc.)

                  cotto is probably the only guy at 147 pacquiao can beat.

                  i doubt this has to do with anything about cotto.



                  this may have more to do with pacquiao really wanting the mayweather fight or cotto-pac not getting him paid as much as he wants.
