Originally posted by whirlwind View PostSome other fans here need to wake up. Pac already stupid enough to fight Cotto at 145. If not for the belt you think Pac will risk his health to fight Cotto at 145 where he weighed in 146 on his last fight wearing all that thong? He can fight Mosley if he wants at 140 but he wants the belt at welterweight. If not for Arum and his belt Pacquiao will not bother about him. He give can rematch Mosley, Clottey, Margarito and lost for a peanut who cares? Fighting Pac is his biggest payday on his career. He should be grateful with that Arum and Pac giving him this unique chance.

Valcarcel has heard the cry from the millions of Manny Pacquiao fans and those who devoutly follow the fistic fortunes of Boricua Bomber Miguel Angel Cotto.
As I reported, Cotto has thought he could hold the WBO welterweight title hostage and use it as a blackjack on the head of the Pacquiao-Cotto Nov. 14 promoter Bob Arum.
I caught up with Valcarcel as he was going through airport security somewhere and we had a brief conversation Friday afternoon.
Whatever happens in Cotto’s money play with Top Rank’s top dog, Valcarcel said that Pacquiao fans, Cotto fans and fight fans in general can relax.
“I know that Manny is looking to make boxing history. I can appreciate that as he goes after the very tough Cotto for a seventh weight division world title,” Valcarcel said.
“You can tell all the people right now, the WBO title will be on the line. You’ve got a highly respected champion fighting the Number One contender. It would be ridiculous for this not to be for the title.
“No matter what happens, I assure you that this will be a WBO welterweight title fight. End of story.”
Yes, you can say, well Paco is a boxing politician. That much is true.
But, unlike many politicians, he has his finger on the pulse of the people.
Good call, El Presidente

If Manny doesnt change the purse sharing he's not gonna challenge for the title.
