Comments Thread For: Cotto's Adviser: Mayweather Rematch is a Mega-Fight

[MDPopescu]

They should put all the titles on the line.

Watch Cotto become a concurrent 3-weight lineal champion in one night.

I doubt that they would be allowed to put all the titles on the line...

No fight with Floyd in it has ever been good. After DLH all his fights have been lame ass snooze fest!

Yeah cling on to that to avoid the truth that Pacquiao was trained like a dog.

This is a real mega fight not that bull**** pac hype cotto comes to win and is the only fighter to bully and bloody floyd up in a fight and he brings a belt for history at 160 put all the belts on the line 3 divisions 5 belts

Jay-Z and Beyonce were present at the MGM, getting featured on the broadcast, during the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight; you add that Mayweather vs Cotto, for the lineal middleweight championship, is the biggest fight to be made (sans Mayweather-Alvarez 2 on Mexican Independence Day weekend) by far, and i'd never say never.

With Jay-Z only really bringing Miguel Cotto to the table (fight will be at the MGM Grand in Vegas, the fight will be on Showtime PPV, and Mayweather Promotions will likely control every aspect), they shouldn't expect to see better than a 75/25 split offer, if any offer ends up coming about.

... Right...
... I guess Cotto would now ask for at least a 30 million dollars purse at a 155lb catchweight... with WBC and lineal MW belt on the table...

Aside from the mistrust and beef between Haymon and Jay-Z, the real issue here is whether or not Floyd wants to take this fight? I say this because he has stated in the past that Cotto hit and hurt him more than any of his previous opponents and that Miguel was the strongest and hardest punching fighter he has ever faced in his entire professional career. Moreover, he had even gone so far as to say that to this very day, he was still feeling the effects of those punches he absorbed several years later.

Was exactly 3 years ago...May 5, 2012 not several years ago.

Pacquiao's scorecard was better against Floyd than Cotto's...and Cotto was healthier than Pacquiao.

Pacquiao did to Cotto what Floyd failed to do...

Cotto vs Mayweather...
118-110 117-111(twice) UD

Pacquiao vs Mayweather...
118-110 116-112 (twice) UD

I really don't care to see a Cotto rematch...won't happen anyways. I'd love to see GGG at 154 but that won't happen. I don't think Kell Brook is known well enough in the US to get it. That doesn't leave much else except Amir Khan who I think gets the nod via process of elimination. Khan also has the UK's loyal fan-base to bring in the money Floyd wants.

... Too much at stake here for Mayweather: the prospect of ending his career as a middleweight lineal champion is really seducing...

[Lords]

This fight would be more entertaining then a Manny rematch.

floyd vs cotto 2 for the lineal WBC 160 title very marketable and very explosive..tying marciano's record while becoming the only WBC champ in 6 weight classes and the only lineal 5 weight world champion..floyds best bet at another 100 million dollar payday

September 2015

I get what you are saying. Yes Mayweather did dominate Cotto on all three of their official judge's scorecards more decisively than he'd dominated Pacquiao on their official scorecards.

However the facts remain the same. The punches that did get through to Mayweather hurt him no matter how infrequently or inconsistently Miguel landed them; Especially the jabs. Mayweather was never as bloodied, busted up or absorbed as many punches in a single round of his career as he had in that Miguel Cotto bout.

Just go rewatch the sixth round of that fight and you will know exactly what Mayweather and I are talking about. Money had no answer for evading those telephone booth like jabs being thrown by Cotto; He was landing them almost at will. That was the main reason why he brought his father back to be his chief trainer because he thought he was getting hit too much in that bout.

Lastly, the word several is defined as more than two and since the fight occurred more than two years ago; Three to be exact. Then calling it several years ago is in the proper context for its usage.
