    According to Arum....he is in negotiations to work out details for a Nov 14 showdown...they are now working out the details between the two pugilist. As we speak he is working out the details regarding the venue.

    Cotto may have to weigh in at 144 lbs......Pacman is adamant he won't go
    up to 147 lbs. Cotto is more receptive to the 144 than Pacman the 147.

    Mosley is plan B should this fall through....however, it appears that both
    pugilist want this fight
    According to El Nuevo Dia.....this is not breaking news however, the catch weight is a new development that may stand.
    Regardless, there will be a fight in Nov....Cotto-Pacman or Mosley-Pacman

    What are your thoughts on the weight????

    I am confident that whatever weight Cotto agrees to, he'll be strong at that weight. Cotto is not going to step in a ring with the #1 p4p fighter to make a fool of himself.

    I don't think Cotto much less Mosley can't make that weight with out suffering.

    Let them pick an actual fight weight. 147 would work then.

    Am I to beleive that more 48 hrs after Cotto's tough fight with Clottey he's ready to start negotiations ? I think this is just hype from Bob for now .

    Cotto wouldn't be much involved at this stage. It would be his manager.

    I'm pretty sure Cotto is disconnected from everything right now taking a well deserved vacation.

    It's probably not gonna be Mosley.

    Any mention of Mosley as a back-up is most likely the result of Team Pac trying to gain leverage in the negotiations.

    Sounds good.


    Wow, Pacman is great. He'll take on either Cotto or Mosley for sure.



    Mayweather...what a ****ing ******. Floyd will be grateful to carry PacMan's balls.


    Go Pacman!


    P.S. - This is coming from a non-*******!

    If Pacquiao is so great then why not fight at welterweight instead of these ridiculous catch weights? If your answer is that he is at unfair disadvantage then he shouldn't be challenging welterweights period.

    Cotto already said he won't fight below 145.
