Originally posted by KnickTillDeaTh View PostSergio already said he would take less money and come down in weight to fight Cotto. So If hes b!tchen about those demands then Sergio is the real j@ck ass. However the demands are going to favor the A side boxer. When Cotto first fought PAC Cotto was the A side, when Cotto fought Mayweather, Mayweather was the A side. Since Cotto won his first belt there has been no fight other then Mayweather, that Cotto wasn't the A side. He is arguably the 3rd largest draw in boxing, made $3 mil for his last fight and was the highest rated network boxing event of the year, against a nobody. Sergio's first time on ppv was against Chavez, in which many consider him a much more popular fighter then Sergio. These type of negotiations have been going on for years, we don't hear about 'em because if you want to fight the big names, you gotta deal with the big names. The fact that Sergio is acting like a lil b!tch, proves that he has never been in this type of event, nor the level of opponent. This fight might be to big for Sergio, this is an advantage for Cotto. If Sergio is overwhelmed by the stage, we could very well see Cotto with a big win. When have you ever heard of anyone having issues negotiating with Cotto?

Originally posted by KnickTillDeaTh View PostHe didn't complain about the catch weight at all. I really don't know where your getting that from. The Wbo made PAC his mandatory, which meant if Cotto didn't fight he would be stripped. The negotiations were led by Arum which is why Cotto had no choice. All Cotto ever said was he felt tired and slow because of the weight, but he never once complained. Unless you've spoken to him one on one, because that has never been publicized.

I'm surprised more aren't pointing to Sergio's obvious down slide?
I think he is ripe to be beaten and Cotto could be the guy to do it. Cotto has very good confidence right now and it seems like him and Roach might have a good thing going.
Martinez has knee issues. Knees are a big deal. Especially if you like to stick and move, this is a very interesting fight. I feel Cotto might appear small here (even though Martinez isn't a huge middleweight and has always appeared willing to drop down to get Floyd or Pacquiao) but Miguel looks like a rising tide right now, where Martinez looks to be somewhat the opposite.

Originally posted by KnickTillDeaTh View PostCotto didn't get less money that fight was a 50-50 split, I already explained the Catch weight in an earlier post but ill explain it again. Arum wanted the fight to happen badly, so the WBC made pac Cottos mandatory, so if Cotto didn't fight PAC he would be stripped of the belt. And the WBC would have PAC fight some one else for the vacant title. PAC would not fight Cotto over 145 lbs, so Cotto had no choice but to fight or vacate the belt. Just because he agreed to a catch weight doesn't mean he was the B-side, remember Mayweather agreed to a catch weight against Marquez. I guess it would be more accurate to say at the time of their fight they were both considered A-side fighters (Cotto-PAC)
1. It wasn't for the WBC, it was for the WBO title.
2. It was not 50-50 split. It was 65-35 in favor of Pacquiao.
Stop posting, first read up on what you are going to post about and stop completely fabricating events that just never happened. How can you just sit there and type those lies, that is what you call a pathological liar.
