    Im not surprised Pac-Cotto is a superfight and Mayweather-JMM is not.

    Pac-Cotto will do at least 4X as many PPV buys as PBF-JMM.

    He beat Baldomir one of the weakest champions in the history of the sport and he needed his track shoes to beat him.

    titles dont mean **** whats important is quality of opposition and in the two divisions where both Cotto and fraud have fought,Cotto has clearly faced the better comp.

    If Pac/Floyd happens a 50/50 split is a must, no one can justify Floyd asking for more than that. And as it seems right now, a 50/50 is being generous to Floyd.

    So because Pac might sell more in 1 fight, that takes away from the fact that Floyd has consistently outsold Pac throughout his career. Wow.

    OK. Personally, I dont think Mayweayther will be affected by the lay-off, and he has said himself that it will not be an issue as he has been in the gym regularly. However, I can see the argument for a bit of ring rust.

    It doesnt matter where Marquez ranks p4p. He is a small lightweight that is being forced to fight at welterweight against a natural welterweight. Pac-Marquez fight are irrelevant in this debate as they were both at 130lbs and Pacquiao is now a significantly different fighter

    The fights at 144 and Floyd fought the vast majority of his career below 140. Floyd is not a welterweight like Cotto, Mosley and Margarito are welterweights. Hell I heard that Marquez came into the Diaz fight at 142.

    Natural welterweight? Cmon now. He looked like a midget against DLH, who is the prototype of the modern welterweight.

    Floyd is a natural 140 pounder at most.

    And considering Manny can't make 135 anymore, that puts him in the ring as a 140 pounder to.

    Doesn't matter if pac didn't sold out a fight in my backyard in the past, as itstands right NOW, he is a bigger draw than Floyd.

    Don't live in the past.
