    Cotto, Hatton and Mosley. Hmmmm, all three knocked to the canvas with Pac, 2 of them stopped...I think you need to think things through about who had the better offense in those bouts.

    Cotto made more money than Pacquiao this year so who cares about Arum's table scraps.

    Why money matters to certain fans like you I'll never know, you don't get any of it.

    Then Pacquiao should fight him at 154 and find out not some stupid catchweight.

    Money doesn't matter to me - but it is relevant here. Cotto made a fortune last year, not to mention his big paydays before that. He's not a fighter desperate for that big payday - he's more than set for money which means that he's not in a position where he has to worry about turning down $7.5m to fight at a weight he isn't comfortable at and accepting other terms he might not like.

    He's a big name in his own right - if you want to fight him them you give him terms he wants or he can goes elsewhere and fight someone else and still make a nice bit of money.

    Last time found both PAC and Floyd were desperate for the Cotto fight as he was the biggest name available and would bring a decent share of PPV buys himself. Both submitted him offers, but he went on record as saying he chose Floyd because it was a better deal at a weight he is comfortable at. Seems like PAC has tried the same thing again this time and Cotto has told him to **** himself again.
