Floyd should make a play for Cotto at 147 right now....it effectively coreners Pac into a fight with JMM (i believe Roach won't allow a fight with Margarito).
Also i would bet Floyd vs Cotto at 147 would do more than the SSM vs Floyd fight. 1.6 - 1.8 million PPV buys would be my guess.

I don't see why it would do better. Everyone has seen Cotto KO'd twice in high profile fights already. That has never happened to Shane, and he was coming off a big win.

Cotto is coming off a KO vicotory and despite the mentalally challenged ******s assertions on this site to the contrary Cotto is a far bigger draw than Shane. Are the same ppl in the PR community who bought Pac vs Cotto not going to buy Mayweather vs Cotto?? I would bet slips it would outsell Pac's fight with Cotto.
Funny...all these Floyd supporters spitting a bunch of names... NONE of which are *rhythmic hand claps* "pay per view attractions" (according to their idol).
Maybe Cotto....but Bob won't let that happen. Bob will play it safe and match up Cotto at 154 vs. the winner of Chavez jr/Duddy. Mexican independence day is September 16th (Thursday), and Sept. 18th would be perfect. Two hispanic fighters (if Chavez Jr. wins) on a hispanic holiday.
It keeps sounding more believable every day - Floyd is retired, again, for a year or so.
Pacquiao can fight anyone at 140 to defend the Ring title, and anyone at 147 to defend his title there. He'll take 70% of the purse, make $15 million and retire happily to pursue his political career (which I think is a huge mistake. Arguello was just murdered in 2009 -*ahem, "committed suicide" in Managua, Nicaragua, where I was born) after becoming Mayor in 08. ONE YEAR in politics, and he was taken out.
