Pac tried to fight cotto again only for cotto to tell him to go **** himself with his weight draining request. Arum tried desperately to secure the cotto fight, but when word got out that floyd was also talking to cotto, he even went and sent knocz to speak to cotto, but cotto was refusing to be weight drained by coming down to 150 or 147 to fight pac again. This was all going on during the time floyd called pac to negotiate only for both guys to not come to an agreement. Floyd one upped arum by securing cotto, ironically pac had the first opportunity to secure that fight but cotto wouldn't budge from the weight draining requests bob arum presented on behalf of pacquaio:good Now floyd gets a big ppv money fight with cotto at 154 and once again we will be able to compare ppv sales from common opponents :deal
pacquiao just got outboxed by a guy that lost every round to mayweatheratsch its pathetic how you people think mayweather is running from pacquiao, hes fortunate to even have the title p4p #1 or even be a champion still
I have a hard time seeing how hosting a fight in Floyd's hometown would be a deterrent in this case. Mayweather gets booed in Vegas during his weigh-ins and fights. Vegas is a boxing capital and gets plenty of boxing; they aren't automatically going to cling onto the hometown prizefighter like these other boxing deprived cities. Floyd doesn't have that benefit. Unless you meant Grand Rapids. Mayweather has always claimed to the cash cow of boxing. If you were a person who knew you brought in most the money, why even bother contesting who gets more? There hasn't been official PPV releases in two consecutive emmanuel fights. Maybe bob arum, emmanuel, HBO, and Mayweather know something everyone else doesn't.
I don't get how the p4p number 1 fighter of the year can be involved in what was voted robbery of the year and still hold the p4p number 1 spot :rofl
So you say PAC should accept the $40 M offered by Floyd since he cannot make this kind of money anywhere else. You ****ing ignorant twat utterly useless imbecile! This fight will potentially make at least $300 million and you accept $40 M straight up no other share of the rest of the revenues? Get Da **** Outta Here! :hi:
cotto wants 150 for the pac fight, pac wants 147. get your facts straight. and the floyd-cotto fight could be at 150 catchweight floyd doesn't want it to be divulged in the media like in the marquez fight. so floyd rejected a 50/50 split or 55/45 to winner for a pacquiao fight to fight someone that pac has already beaten? cool!

And if anything manny has been more consistant as he's done it 6 times to mays 4. Its a 50/50 fight!!!
Cotto ducked Pacquiao. I don't blame him, we all know what happened before.:deal Canelo is the main attraction not Floyd.:deal
and HBO hasn't released floyd's officila number either. it was relreased by schaefer. if floyd knew all these numbers, he would not hesitate to tweet them instantly knowing how floyd operates. so are you also one of the floyd fans out there thinking that floyd should not fight pacquiao unless he gets more than a 50% split? what can you say about floyd refusing to give pacquiao any of the PPV upside?
