Team pacman is soooo slick !

I was yelling at Marquez... GO AFTER HIM ! I notice that in the other fights, they rock pacman but don't follow up. You REALLY think Cotto will admire hurting pacman? If so, i have a brooklyn bridge to sell you, call me at 713-265-2***.

Honestly, Cotto has a terrible habit of admiring his work. I hate that about Cotto, you can do that against sorry fighters like Jennings and Gomez but you don't do that against top tier fighters. I really don't know who to pick, I will wait a very long time before making my predictions.

NICK GIONGCO of Manila Bulletin July 23, 2009,

While Manny Pacquiao is getting a guarantee of $12 million against Miguel Cotto in their November 14 super fight – the same amount he got against Ricky Hatton last May when they agree to a 50-50 revenue split – the Filipino stands to earn much more this time considering that he got the lion’s share of the money in the profit-sharing.

Sources within Team Pacquiao say that Pacquiao was granted a 65-35 share and that he stands to collect an extra in case the Puerto Rican fails to make the agreed weight limit of 145 lbs during the official weighin on the eve of the fight.

However, it could not be determined how much Cotto will be assessed assuming he is overweight.

Pacquiao got the bigger percentage owing not only to his status as boxing’s premier fighter but his proven track record in selling pay-per-view and tickets.

Pacquiao’s landmark bout with Oscar De La Hoya last year generated 1.25 million buys that amounted to $70 million.

Against Erik Morales in 2006, a provision in the contract stipulated that Morales pay $1 million for every pound in excess of 130 lbs. As it turned out, Pacquiao did not cash in on that one since Morales – severely dehydrated from the massive weight reduction – made the weight but eventually lost in a devastating manner.

Cotto might not undergo the harrowing experience Morales had years ago since he actually weighed 146 lbs in his last fight last June.

Still, Team Pacquiao is not discounting the possibility that Cotto might have to shed off some excess poundage in the hopes of preventing a massive fine.

Cotto plans to start training in late-August in Puerto Rico before moving to Tampa, Florida.

Pacquiao sets to rekindle his successful partnership with Freddie Roach in the middle of September after attending the three-city press tour that kicks off Sept. 9 in Los

Cotto has never had problems making 147 so he wont have problems with 145.I'm sure he can afford a dietician for this fight.It's his biggest fight in monetary terms so he'l do all it takes.

He has never admired his work. He hurts you, he tries to go in for the kill. cotto is like the old-time fighters. He never taunts you or disrespects you in weigh-ins., etc. I'm getting use to the anti- cotto comments for this fight, never seen a fighter besides floyd get soooo many negative comments.

Dude, you have no idea who I am. I am a huge Cotto fan but, I am not blind. I have all of his fights, yes each and everyone of them including a grip of amateur fights, I have studied Cotto very well. I like him, I respect him but I wont sit here and make claims that Cotto does not have a bad habit of admiring his work, either you have not seen enough of Miguel Cotto or you are being a blind nut hugger to this fact. Yes, I agree he does go for the kill but in some instances, he has stopped to admire his work. He did it against Jennings, he did it against Gomez, he tried it against Margarita. Now I am not saying that it is a constant habit but I have caught him doing it and I am sure other old Cotto fans have seen it too. Yes, Cotto is a gentleman outside the ring for the most part but that has nothing to do with the fact that he likes to admire his work. Just because I admit to a tiny flaw in one of my favorite fighters does not mean I am taunting him. Every fighter has his flaws and every fighter gets disrespected on these boards but you have to be able to see and discern who is hating and who is making an honest observation or assessment.

And let me guess, you are Puerto Rican right?
