    It's the best fight out there, Canelo too young and the Pacquiao fight just couldn't happen if both fighters had to be happy.

      Other than Pac who should he fight? Also why have a Cotto pic in your avatar when you dislike him so much?

        I can give you a reply for 40 million points....

        Pacquiao wants FIGHTER/PROMOTER money, but the problem comes in that he is just a fighter... No sense whatsoever to split everything down the middle.

        Look at his last x6 fights and you could easily pay for 3-4 of them with that 40 million dollars Floyd offered him.

        To put it into perspective Floyd being a promoter/fighter has made 40 million dollars..... I think he either made 40 million against ortiz or it was close to it. and this is with guarantees/promoting/fighting....

        WHAT ELSE DOES MANNY WANT?? I COULD HAVE SWORN NOT TOO LONG AGO, HE WOULD FIGHT AND TAKE LESS MONEY, BUT NOW HE CANT EVEN DO THAT.

        We got ***S wanting to build temporary stadiums and all that, but at the same time saying he wont be promoting 100% .. Arum being a *** knows worth.... It cant be the lame ass excuse of making more money with a rag tag stadium, because the tickets will simply cost more at the MGM GRAND, AND PEOPLE WILL BUY THEM AS THIS IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED FIGHT OF THIS GODDAMN DECADE.

        I WANT THAT 40 MILLION LOL

        No 27 percent going to anyone else.

          I'll agree to all of your demands. All I ask is that don't randomly talk **** and we can make this happen. Don't tell me to talk to your promoter.

          We can do this all day.

            Cotto is soft when in shape, not ripped.

            145 drained him.
            EXACTLY, EVEN ALEX ARIZA WAS EXPLAING THINS WITH THE KHAN/JUDAH FIGHT.... How Judah had all them goddamn muscles, but was severly lacking, because it doesnt take huge amounts of cardio to get ripped, while a man thats not ripped can have excellent cardio....

                Although Cotto ran like a punk vs Pacquiao and Marg, i wish him all the best in this fight.

                    I find it incredible that even the most ardent Floyd fan thinks this 'we offered manny a large sum of money' is acceptable. Way to negotiate, Floyd!

                    Cotto isnt a MW either.

                    All bs aside, Floyd and Manny both have very good opponents in Cotto and Bradley and I sincerely hope that both get an almighty karma kick up the ass by coming unstuck. Their fight is hardly viable anymore as both are right at the end of their careers and nowhere near their best. IMO Floyd is the more responsible party for the fight not happening, so I hope his silly arse gets knocked out.

                      If Mayweather-Pacquiao doesn't happen in 2012, it greatly decreases the hype for the fight big time. They never could have fought in their "primes", because Floyd's prime was like 2000-2007 and Manny's was about 2002-2009. So, even if theyw ould have fought in 2010-2011, neither guy would have been prime to me.

                      But, I just hope they get it done in 2012. Both are still good and it still has chance to be a Hagler-Leonard type of fight. Marvin and Ray weren't in their absolute primes in 1987, but both were still good and the best in the world at their weight. Mayweather-Pacquiao is still that, I just hope it doesn't happen in 2013 where there's a greater chance that one of them could slip to being past it and not even that good anymore, or in 2014 when both should be retired probably.
