    He won't beat a 143lb Cotto because come fight night Cotto will weigh around 8lbs higher (more or less).

    I don't know what is worse demanding to fight Cotto or Mosley @ 142 or acting like PBF only deserves 35%. :lol::rofl:patsch

    Now THIS we can agree on. I wonder if Cotto would agree to something like that.

    :think

    if they want a big payday, they can fight Pac on his terms or they can continue to be on HBO after dark.

    I hope PBF DOES get squeezed out. He'll be forced to face the over the hill and overrated 147 division anyways.

    At last!! To say he'd have a weight advantage of 5/6lbs even then I don't think he could really complain.....

    Roach and Arum are only trying to get fights, from here on in, where Pacquiao will be at an advantage. He fought De La Hoya at Welterweight, so fight Mosely at Welterweight as well. What about Mayweather? Roach only took the De La Hoya fight because he knew Oscar would never be able to make the weight without killing himself.

    Roach took that fight cause he trained Oscar for the fight against Maywaether, and he knew Pac would be able to beat him.

    Or they can fight each other...You forget that Floyd is the man that name is on the biggest non-heavyweight PPV buys not Pac's..Lets not forget that.

    This is a perfect example of nut hugging gone bad, whe the **** has either of the three fought on BAD??? How many PPV has Pac did???

    Pac's PPV's were doing like 200k-300k at most. PBF has been on two huge PPV extravaganza's. Let's see what Hatton-Manny does. No way does Manny deserve the lion's share of revenue in a fight with PBF. PBF is going to be selling the fight not Manny he can't even speak English.

    There is ZERO revenue generated from the Philipines those people don't even have plumbing much less TV's.

    How so? DLH took well over 60% when he fought Floyd. I didn't see or hear anyone bitching about it. Pac is the champ and the draw. He gets the bigger slice.

    Lets see the Pac and Hatton number. Compare that to Hatton vs Floyd and the JMM vs Floyd number. Then we can argue.
