Face the facts haters, you know and its well reported on all websites that Pacquiao wanted to fight Cotto again @147 when Cotto has been fighting at 154 for almost 2 1/2 years now. so all this "Mayweather ducked the fight" is damn ridicilous!!! They were mentioning Cotto rematch right after Marquez fight so dont even start. how u Pac fans gonna deny that???
so you saying Pacquiao never wanted to fight Cotto in a rematch?? ummm do you want me to post 20 links on here to make you see or you jusy playing dumb??
Sorry but that works both ways. Pacquiao renegged on his offer to take less money. Why offer to do the fight for less than 50/50 only to have your skirt lifted and you turn tail and demand a 50/50 purse? It should be obvious to everyone exactly who doesn't want the fight...
Of course Pacquiao wanted Cotto. Since he feels it would be a easy night since he beat him already. Plus he gets a big payday because Cotto puts asses in seats.
Who cares , he made it clear 50/50 and they have a fight. Nobody thinks Pac or Floyd should take less then 50%. Floyd and his camp would have to be delusional to think PAc would have accepted that. And the offer Floyd gave him was straight up laughable. A guarantee with no cut of the PPV revenue at all.
Well, technically, Pacquiao offered $50 million plus less than half of the PPV upside compared to Mayweather's offer of $40 million plus less than half of the PPV upside. Neither side offered 50/50 in reality. Only verbally. Arum has never wanted the fight. Mayweather has known that Arum would never let the fight happen. Knowing that, people can finally realize and interpret the past 2+ years however they choose to, but the answers are right in front of them.
Floyd V Cotto is a great fight and at no cathweight bull****. Go back to the ol times Pac & fight fighters at that weight class. I like Pac but his wanting to drain as much as he can out of a fighter with his catchweights bull**** is a joke. He lost out in this one.
for a long time i always held floyd responsible for the ****ery surrounding this fight but now im firmly convinced that arum will do anything to save pac from losing to mayweather. manny would probably fight him if he could but arum has him under his thumb and that's that.
Pac used every excuse he could not to fight Floyd WHEN/IF they ever do fight..Pac will give in on the split- the #'s show Floyd being the bigger draw-Pac didn't seem to want the fight at all..first used drug testing not to fight Floyd and then used other opponents...shame he dont' want the fight-
50-50 you got a fight?- pacquiao floyd- no 40 mil flat fee?- floyd pac- no 45-55, winner take 55%?-pac floyd- :bolt
When the current champion is at 154lbs why do you want him to come down to 147lbs.........he's playing the cathweight draining game & that you can't deny my friend.
