I think potential opponents other than each other gives Mayweather a little leverage in the negotiations. Mayweather can still make big fights other than Pac because of his size. I can't see Pacquiao taking on PWill or Martinez where I believe those two are the candidates for Floyd if he can't make the Manny fight. Both of them are big challenges and would be fairly big events and big paydays. Nobody is interested in watching Pac fight Cotto, Foreman or Margo.
Only way i won't be disappointed if the may/pac fight falls through is if mayweather takes on PW or Maravilla.
Now luke. Serious talk. You do realize what arum is up to. He gonna make the rematch at 150 for cotto JMW title. Then proclaim manny an 8 weight champion and have him retire having won the belt at a catchweight from a guy who he already beaten.:rofl
Arum and the same 700,000 assholes (including me ) that bought the Clottey fight. Maybe even the same 50,000 people who paid 20 bucks each for a ticket.
lol, don't think that hasn't entered my mind. I am still a huge fan of cotto though. I want to see him come back strong.
