Miguel Cotto will extract his pound of flesh in the ring.

Manny isn't Oscar.

Agreed....but 35% of fighting Pacquiao shouldnt be greater than the 35% any fighter earns fighting Oscar.

[Talisayen]

Manny is the new oscar...

[JACK D. RIPPER]

Hatton live sin England, and there were more Hatton supporters in the MGM than Manny supporters when they fought. Cotto fought a relitely unknown Margarito and there were a lot more Margarito supporters than Cotto supporters, even though PRcans live in the US. Hatton was a bigger draw than Pacquiao, hence the face that he received 50-50.

You're full of ****. I was at Tony/Cotto and it was 50/50.

And Hatton was the bigger draw. He shouldve got more money than Packy too.

Cotto's getting jobbed here.

round 2 is a Knockout compliments of Cotto

that remains to be seen...the 65% is a done deal...round 1 is in the books

[JACK D. RIPPER]

most people dont make that in there whole lives.

Thats a utopian outlook.
But thats not the way negotiations like this work.

I actually do have a problem with this 65-35 split.

It overvalues Packy (he's no oscar or tyson) and undervalues Miguel.
I've read comments from some Packy fans that sound very Mayweather-esque by saying "what does Cotto bring to the table"...

A whole island of devoted fans. Just like Packy.

Cotto's team obviously got Shanghaied by the dynamic duo of sleaze in Gacal and Arum.

They should have played hardball like Hatton did and bridged the gap. Packy was using Mosley as leverage but we all know that fight was never gonna happen. And he wasn't going to fight anyone at 40' either.

Cotto should have called their bluff and held out for a 55-45 split.

Lack of self respect on Team Cotto's part. On top of it all Cotto will have to come in at a catch weight....

Its ok though, Cotto will extract his pound of flesh from Packy in the ring.

Justice will prevail.

boooooooo


but then how the hell did hatton get 50/50?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

I call like I see it.

Cotto's getting screwed here.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

Purse split for Pac-DLH was 65-35. Pac earned 11million with that 35% fighting Oscar delahoya.

Purse split for Pac-Cotto is 65-35 with Cotto getting 15million.

Now why in the hell should Cotto get more money when he's already earning more in this fight than what the #1 fighter in the world p4p earned fighting the biggest draw in the sport's history.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I call like I see it.

Cotto's getting screwed here.

he would have gotten 45% if the fight was at 143
