Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs Cotto II is Inching Close To a June 9th Date

[El Angel]

Cotto is by far my fave boxer. And even I am dissapointed

[rey guey]

I hope that fight sells less than 500K....we've been there, seen that- it's time to put up or shut up.

I really hope so but I think there are enough nut huggers to for it to sell at least a million.

Pac got around 850k for Clottey and Cotto got 250k against Mayorga.

I'm just picking those fights because whoever bought those fights would have to be a nut hugger or severly *******ed to have paid $60 for either.

Protest this Fight But not Purchasing the PPV as well as Mayweathers fight on May5th

I will lose a lot of respect for PacMan if he chooses Damaged Goods Cotto as his next Opponent. This fight will be nothing more than the "Padding of his Stats" on Pacquiaos side as a TKO Victory over Cotto will surely Happen. Bradley would of Been a more interesting Opponent, however, Timmy is barely Acceptable on Free Cable and to Make Pac V Bradley a PPV FIght is a bigger Crime than Making People believe Cotto is not Washed UP

I'm wondering why this potential rematch fight on June 9th is being proposed for a Las Vegas location when the PR Day Parade is in NYC so MSG should be the venue? Bob seems to be all about the "guaranteed gate" so it would seem MSG would be there for the taking (unless there's a conflict with the Knicks in postseason play). Yankee Stadium would be the way to go but I guess early June is still too cold at night in NY.

Pac won't box in MSG but outcome the same...Pac tko late...Cotto 2 easy to hit & he'll mis 2 much...These days I don't even read of Pac as it just about his next trick to avoid FM...

[makeMeSushiRoll]

BS fight, I hope it will be a ppv disaster, that would be well deserved... That first fight wasn't even close...

Fans need to start a chant at the press conference or something. Tell Pacquiao what the fans want. He's supposed to be the people's champ. Not Arum's champ. If the fans start booing, hopefully it will get Pacquiao to see what's really going on outside of the Philippines.

Man this is a shit fight. After JMM gave Pacquaio the business worse than he did in the second fight, it's time to go back to fighting stiffs and dead bodies like Hatton, De La Hoya, and Diaz. Cotto is a step above them guys, but does that change the fact we've already seen Cotto run for half the fight terrified to death while getting beat to a pulp at the same time? God this is a bitch move on Pacquiao's part and this shit of standing up to Arum like he said he would is a goddamn lie. He should've demanded a fighter who would give him a fight that would interest the fans a lot more than a Cotto rematch would. At least fight Timothy Bradley, man damn.

According to several strong sources, WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto will get his chance at revenge on June 9th in Las Vegas, as the Puerto Rican star will likely face Manny Pacquiao at either the Thomas & Mack or the MGM Grand. Cotto avenged his first career loss on December 3rd, when he stopped Antonio Margarito in a rematch at New York's Madison Square Garden.

Id hate to be a ******* about now, im embarrased for them,leave it up to manny to choose the most ******ed-crappiest non-consequential p.o.s. fight that can possibly be made lol... who on earth is going to plop down $60 bux for that Garbage????????If pac really felt he beat JMM (he didnt) and being the highest PPvs hes ever sold why on earth choose Cotto??? becuase nobody knows better than pac that he lost that fight . hed rather piss off his fans than get his ass kicked again by Jmm.

Guess Jinkee knew what she was talking about. No surprise though. I'm sure Arum promised this fight to Miguel just so he could keep him in his stable. I can't and won't blame Miguel one bit.

My thing is, the first fight was a one sided beating, why rematch?
