Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser: Cotto Meeting Was "Very Positive"

[Pacquiao'd]

no, if pac and his team fulfilled the criteria floyd asked for then floyd should set the tone and sign it first.

this will show initiative and send pac a message along with boxing fans.

floyd seems hesitant about wanting to fight again.

he is near 34 and not getting any younger.

fighting every 16 months will become detrimental for him.

i think he wins this fight handidly, he is too big and strong for pac, floyds frame alone would be too much combined with his speed and precision.

i just dont know what floyd is waiting for.

his silence is not a good sign

when are you goingto realize floyd is not going to sign a deal he offered in december that pac turned down, when floyd stated after his numbers kills pac, that **** is off the table?

why is it so hard for you people to grasp that concept?

Damn straight the meeting was positive. Pacquiao can't wait to get a huge payday against a guy he already demolished.

To ask for this fight at a catchweight is PATHETIC.

No one buy this fight! Its a crime to do this to boxing fans. And im a pacquiao fan saying that. I put up with the Clottey fight cuz it was on short notice but there is no excuse for this crap.

The first fight, no doubt, is a classic. But the rematch would be a waste of time! The result would be the same, or even worse for Cotto. Like I said before, Pacquiao should fight the top welterweights or jr. welterweights, which includes, Berto, Bradley, Alexander or Maidana! Let's forget about Mayweather, He's the greatest coward off all time!!!

nah, cotto will have a better chance this time.
i wish there's no catchweight!

agree about pac and the welters....
but there is not enough $$ in any of those fyts....
pac-cotto will make a lot $en$e...

Looks like Arum is setting up a pointless fight with Cotto. I would honestly rather watch Pac face someone he hasn't in Marg then see Cotto get slaughtered again. Steward is a great trainer but from now til November, he's not changing Cotto too much. It's almost like he's just walking him in for the slaughter. I hope i'm wrong and Cotto manages to completely transform his defense and take advantage of every one of Pacs mistakes. I just don't want to see him take another beating for no reason other then to hand Pac an new title.

My question is, why are we not hearing any of these "talks" from Cotto? This all seems like BS to me but w/e.

[jetgeomcx]

There is just too many questions regarding this. For all we know, this is another psychological chess move by camp Pac. I for one won't bother making an emotional investment regarding this development.

Though personally, i DO NOT want Pac to fight cotto. He's simply in a lose-lose situation in this case. Because he destroyed cotto in their last fight, even fighting cotto at 154(which i doubt, more likely it would be at a catchweight) pac won't get credit for beating a fighter who is perceived by many to be a broken man. Its a big risk low return move IMO.

with that statement,..
it should be a low risk big return move
cotto is the next exciting fyt for manny after floyd....at 154, 8th belt.

there's less $$ if pac fyts other boxers.
marquez???.... at what weight?? jmm is old.
diaz will not make the same mistake!!

All part of Arum's plan. As i said, Arum is an evil genius.

Arum has been doing this for a while now...he's no rookie in this game.

My question is, why are we not hearing any of these "talks" from Cotto? This all seems like BS to me but w/e.

That's an easy one my friend, because Arum's running the show. once he decides somthing will happen, it will happen and his fighters just fall in line.

[V.WEBB]

Why is it during negotiations of May vs Pac, Team Pac are always so eager to mention other opponents and have discussions with fights other than Mayweather? This is pathetic

People with sense know WHY Arum does this.
