I can't see it happening. The fall-out from a Cotto-Mayweather re-match (a good fight in isolation) would be huge - you'd have traded in two amazing match-ups for one good one, and the backlash against Floyd would be tremendous, at a point when his star is already fading.
It would probably be at a catch-weight too, which would be the final insult.
Mayweather, as is usual, is just delaying everything - he takes pleasure in being able to control the boxing landscape, knowing there are all these fights/fighters waiting on him to make up his mind.Comment

This right here! People getting mad at cotto, but it was giftnelo that left the negotiation tableI've been making this argument since yesterday with friends on this topic. Once Cotto/Canelo talks officially died, I IMMEDIATELY thought there was a strong chance for Mayweather-Cotto II. Floyd now has an out. I keep getting told not too worry, Pacquiao/Mayweather is all but done, but I keep reminding the same people, there is NO ink to paper yet.Comment

Who even cares at this point. It's been 6 years I'm sick of this same song and dance. At this point if they aren't going to fight each other just do everyone a favor and retire. The past 5 years with these guys have just been smoke and mirrors and I stopped being strung along after the 2nd go round.Comment

Couldn't have said it betterI'll reserve my judgement until if/when that fight gets made, but the fact that Arum and Floyd don't even make any mention about the TV networks negotiations being a possible roadblock doesn't sound too good. I really hope those gullible casual and hardcore boxing fans take a stand and boycott both Floyd and Manny next fights if they don't fight each other next.
They're going to keep selling/pitching y'all **** fights as long we keep on letting them get away with it. The Cotto rematch is not ****ty fight, but who in their ****ing right mind is demanding for this ****ing fight to happen right now? No one. Same thing with Amir Khan. Those fights can happen afterwards, but people want Mayweather-Pacquiao NOW, not in September, not 2016, or never, we want it now.
I had a gut-feeling that if Floyd gets the opportunity to fight in May 2nd without anyone challenging him for that date, he'll take it and fight someone not named, Manny Pacquiao. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now, but the dude is just as sneaky and slimy as the guy he dislikes[Bob Arum]. I wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather-Cotto happens, but for now, I'll reserve judgement until an official announcement.

A fool and his money are soon partedDisgusting coward, still ducking Pacquiao 5 years after his prime... so... WAR COTTO!!!!!! I guarantee you, COTTO is knocking him out within 4 rounds. Cotto was fat and trained by an amateur the first fight AND STILL managed to batter floyd. Imagine what this version of Cotto does to him.
Cotto TKO 4th round. ALL points on it.
