I think the major difference between Mayweather fighting Cotto and Pacquiao fighting the fighters that Mayweather beat is that Pacquiao's team picked those fighters specifically because they had just recently came off of a loss to Mayweather and they wanted to establish Pacquiao as a household name. Mayweather is fighting Cotto because he's the biggest fight that could have been made.
You have Freddie Roach himself, on camera, basically confirming that. He said they fought De La Hoya because they felt he was washed up and he was faded after his fight with Mayweather, he called Hatton damaged goods after he lost to Mayweather, and he said that they wanted Mosley so they could beat Mosley more convincingly than Mayweather did. Those are all facts.
