Do you believe the Cotto vs Pac II June 9th Rumors???

well, considering that for the past 2 years or so we get Floyd & Pac in fake-negotiations right before they both announce bull**** fights that no one wants to see.... I would say everything points to Pac v Cotto and Floyd v Someoneundermatched.

 

I don't believe anything anymore until the contracts are signed. I learned that lesson a long time ago.

 

No rumors...Cotto said he was meeting with Arum this weekend for a Pacquiao rematch.

Winner fights Floyd in Nov.
Supposing Floyd wins in May!!!

 

I hate the fight, but what does Manny make to fight Cotto vs Bradely or Peterson? Bradely would probably be a tough fight and the whole headbutt risk makes Cotto more favorable for more money. Sucks for fans though.

I also see this as strategy by Arum, allowing Manny to destroy Cotto may prevent an Alvarez-Cotto fight. I think Alvarez would stop Cotto impressively making him a bigger star for Golden Boy. Good news, plenty of things to do on a summer night than watch boxing.

 

My guess is Arum is holding off on the announcement because he's still and always will be playing mind games w/ FMJ.

 

No. I don't belive them..not quite yet...:

Miguel Cotto in the Mayweather Pacquiao Sweepstakes?
By Rey Colón -The Sport Press

The free agent status of WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30 KOs) will allow him to choose the best offer from Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao, who continue to publicly discuss through their advisors and promoter Bob Arum whether or not they will face off May 5 or June 9. Given the refusal of Mayweather Jr. to accept a 50-50 purse split while Pacquiao insistance on this conditionl, all roads lead to Cotto, who after them is the biggest ‘pay per view’ seller in the division, therefore his name is the first option.

Cotto will listen to the offer of the Mayweather Jr. group and then give an opportunity to Arum, who was his promoter since he debuted ten years ago and whose contract expired on December 31. He will then evaluate the bids and choose the most attractive and lucrative.

Arum and Cotto have met several times in recent months but reached no agreement. The CEO of Top Rank is said to have offered three fights (Pacquiao-Mayweather Jr. and Chavez Jr.) on the condition he re-signed with the company.

However, Cotto wants to continue as a free agent and negotiate fight-to-fight, so it’s possible that Golden Boy Promotions, which has ties to Mayweather Jr., will make a lucrative offer for a May 5 bout which must be overcome by Arum if he wants Cotto to face Pacquiao on June 9.

It is expected that next week the ‘boxing triangle’ will comes to a head.

 

If it's at 154 I don't care. Would much rather see him face Mayweather though.

 

I think it will be Cotto vs Pac.
Actually, if I focus not on the bull**** TR in house aspect, Cotto has made enough improvements to make this interesting.

Cotto looks revitalized, and has a trainer that has him doing some new things effectively, will it be enough? I don't think so, but it will be closer.

Bad thing is it will be at 147.
