    the only way that fight would be interesting is if those were the circumstances. Otherwise we don't care

    Won't be. NYC has an tax laws which would whack Pacquiao for quite a bit of money.

    Is this fight actually being considered? Pac Man already beat the hell out of Cotto. Nothing indicates that Cotto would do any better a second time around.

    The only minus is the big tax in Big Apple.

    Do you really believe it will be at 154? Come one Top Rank don't want Sergio all over them AGAIN!

    This would set him off, I think it will be at 147 (the weight it should have been at in the first place) in Vegas.

    It has to be at 154. Cotto already fought Pac at 147 and the result doesn't show ANY need for a rematch. The best way to justify a rematch is to make it at 154.

    Agreed. But first one was at 145 unless i;m mistaken. No catchweights this time hopefully.

    Yes it was and Cotto is the one that requested 145 or he would pull out immediately. So if there was any issue with the weight it wouldn't have happened.

    Cotto asked for 145 as opposed to 147?

    I'm pretty sure Cotto wasn't the one calling the shots. Only team Pacquiao requested the 145 lbs.

    Why the **** would Cotto even ask for 145? That's ******ed :lol:

    Agree, with 10oz gloves, which is custom at JMW I believe.

    Naa Roach who requested it, I remember specifically as Cotto was pissed at his WW belt being on the line and Roach said he would be losing it anyway.

    Anyway I dont see this being at 154, I would like it to be dont get me wrong but it wont. Cotto doesnt appear to have much pull in the negoatiations over at Top Rank.

    But this whole spectical seems to have been engineered so Mayweather can't fight Cotto and Bob Arum can continue to milk Manny whilst locking Cotto back into contract.

    So win, win for Bob!
