how come pacquiao cotto 2 never happen?

[Don Pichardo]

Just finished rewatching the fight, I had thought manny stopped him in the 8, it was the 12... Manny had cotto running from the 6 round, he was done and was circling away, running to back pedal... Manny looked his best in that fight tbh.

Of course he looked his best. He beat a gimped 145 lb self trained cotto. And it still took him 12rounds to finish him. Did u see paqs ear doe after the fight. Cotto dished out punishment too.

It was cottos greed at fault. He agreed to the catch weight cause he wanted the fight. He fired his uncle becuase they fought over money. Cotto was to damn cheap to pay him. And then he was dumb enough to not hire another to fight paq!! Of course paq whipped dat azz.

A rematch at 150-54 with his uncle or a competent trainer woukd seriously hurt paq. The cotto that showed up agisnt martinez will murder him.

The rematch didn't happen becuase negotiations failed mostly due to the weight issue. Cotto wanted it manny per roach and smartly declined. Paq was an absolute beast that night and only made Cotto quit in round 12. He didn't knock him out.
So naturally paq wasn't wanting to face a Cotto 5 or more pounds heavier. And everyone knew including Cotto that he needed and was going to get a trainer. So paq simply said no. Smart. Cotto also said no to the low weight request. Smart.
So fight did t happen becuase both fighters wised up. Cotto more so he learned a very tough lesson at the hands of paq.

Cotto moved up to 154 right after their fight, 145 clearly drained him.

Manny beat the brakes off Cotto.....remb. this fight is the sole reason why Mayweather vs Manny became so hard to make,

Cotto outgrew the welterweight division and Pacquiao is just a lightweight who fights at welterweight because that's where the money is. They could not agree on a catch weight to fight at. Team Pacquiao offered 150 lbs. but Cotto said no. He wanted the fight at 154 lbs. and Pacquiao said no so the fight never happened. Now they are good friends with the same trainer. That is my memory of why the rematch never happened anyway.

Cotto was offered a rematch with Pacquiao at 150 and turned it down flat. When Cotto was negotiating a rematch with Margarito for Cotto's 154 pound title Cotto insisted that Margarito fight him at a weight limit of 150 pounds. Margarito refused and they settled on a catch weight of 153 pounds. So Cotto prefers to fight at a top weight of 150 for Margarito but won't fight Pacquiao at an ounce under 154 pounds. I don't think Cotto wanted to fight Pacquiao again at any weight. Just my opinion.

Your not missing a thing.

Cotto would not agree to a catch weight for the second fight. And then after that Cotto hooked up with Roach.

i want to see tua-ruiz 2 and rigo-don "SWINGING AT" aire 2 on the undercard of pac-cotto 2.

Pretty much yea, could add Lomachenko vs Russel 2 and go for a all time great revenge of the remathes type ****

Because by the time Cotto had the position to not give advantages away, Pac wanted none.
