Who gives a *** about how much money who gets?
The real reason we should be happy is that once again Miguel Cotto will
be fighting in one of the best fights of the year. I'm also happy that he's
finally getting the recognition he so dearly deservers. Cotto Vs Pac is
the fight of the best top dog in boxing and I got Cotto winning this hard fought fight because of all the hard **** this guy's life has taken him threw!
