Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Advised By PR Trainers To Select Pacquiao

[bluetuazon]

Wtf is a leftover fight? Sum bs mayeeather invented? I don't remember anyone saying Tommy yearns was Leonard's leftovers when he faced Benitez,Duran, or Hagler.

its a term floyd invented and his nuthuggers says its gospel..

[bluetuazon]

Idk, call me crazy but I think Cotto can beat Pacquiao if he fights his very best fight. I really do. Hope its not at 147. They should do it 152 pounds.

why?? thought u guys dont like catchweights??

[bluetuazon]

Will Cotto get a 50-50 split, or will Manny demand 60-40? Which leads to this question: if Manny won't give Cotto a 50-50 split, why should Floyd give Manny a 50-50 split?

because cotto is not the A side....sad but true....

[bluetuazon]

The elaboration is in the answer. If Manny feels he deserves a bigger piece of the pie when he fights Cotto, shouldn't Floyd feel he deserves a bigger piece of the pie when he fights Manny.

Manny rightfully feels he deserves more because he "brings more to the table" than Cotto. Floyd feels the same way. He brings more fans to the fight and should get a bigger portion.

he feels he brings more....but thats not a fact...what if manny said i bring more on the table than floyd??

[bluetuazon]

Well, doesn't Manny need Cotto to bring in high numbers? Who else is credible? Who else can Manny fight, on this short notice, that will create the buzz needed to attract widespread attraction to bring in the fans on PPV and at the live gate?

The comparison is fair in this regard, a fighter is worth what the promoter is willing to pay him based on the numbers he can generate.

Here, Cotto has Manny and Arum backed into a corner. Cotto has the upper hand because he can always agree to fight Mayweather instead. He can pit Manny against Floyd to see which on will pay him the most.

My advice to Cotto: demand $25 million guaranteed and see who blinks first, Manny or Floyd.

both manny and floyd will say no thanks...and cotto will be left with whom???

[bluetuazon]

Yes it does; it has every thing to do with bargaining and negotiation. If Cotto is in the driver's seat, as you acknowledge, then he's in the position to demand an equal share, regardless of the relative drawing power of each fighter.

Again, the question is this: other than Floyd, who can Manny fight that will make him as much money as he could fighting Cotto? Answer: no one.

Manny knows this and so does Cotto. So Cotto is in the position to demand as much as Manny. If Manny refuses, Cotto fights Floyd. And then who does Manny fight? Answer: Floyd at a 45-55 split.

cotto is not on the driver seat......he cant demand more than his price range.....manny wont budge...what more with floyd...so no point on doing this..if cotto prices himself, he will be left with the margaritos and mayorgas or if we get lucky...we can see cotto vs martinez..

[newcastleking]

cotto should fight alvarez.

[bluetuazon]

Reason why they follow Pac is because of Floyd. They wan't that fight so bad that they keep tabs on Pac's fight. Which at this point, knowing that Pac lost his last fight he better give Floyd the bigger split, Nd if the fight wit Cotto DOES happen a fair 50/50 wouldnt be asking for much.

And like I said before, Pac's big numbers are because of the help of mexicans. Don't go snooping, make logical sense in your head.

stopped reading after the first sentence!! lol...wow..just wow!!

For years cotto has known that he couldnt compete with mayweather. Arum knew it, todd, knew it, trampler knew it, cotto's dad knew it, his uncle knew it, his fat friend knew it, and cotto himself knew it.

I gaurantee we see a rematch this time around.

[bluetuazon]

Oh is the reason that they follow Pac is because of Floyd. Ahh, OK....

Yes Pac vs a none Mexican in Clottey>>>PPV buys than Cotto against a Mexican..Oh wait...that's because of Floyd

Yep 50/50 split for Cotto with either Floyd or Pac isn't asking too much.

hahahahahah...that was funny jro.....cant believe he said that.... smh
