    I would definitely tune in, if Floyd fights Cotto at 160lbs. Beating Cotto will make him champions in three different weight classes at the same time. Doing that would be bigger then a fight with Pac, from a legacy perspective. Floyd and Manny should of fought when they first sat down to make the fight. Manny ducked him then. So F**k Manny.

    If it's at "160" there will certainly be a catchweight. And neither Floyd nor Cotto would make 160 or be considered REAL middleweight champs IMO. It'd be complete BS if they fought for that title. I'm all for a rematch but don't give either one of them the title.

    Roach is probably very open to this fight as we know he wants his crack at Floyd. And you have Cotto saying he will fight whoever Roach wants him too and there is very good chance it gets made. I'm a Cotto fan and would like to see what a Freddie trained Cotto can do with Floyd as the first fight saw some of the biggest hits landed on Floyd, then to think those shots under Freddie will be more and more powerful...sign me up. Although I can definitely understand the feeling of those that feel they have already been there done that.

    They need to agree on terms and stop being divas. ALL of them. Pacquiao trying to get a bigger split, he won't make that money fighting ANYONE else. $40 mil + 35% is NOT a low ball because that's like $60-$75 million, he won't make that against any other opponent. Floyd on the other hand, has already made like $80 million. If he gives Pacquiao his requested 55-45 split, he's taking a pay cut if the PPV numbers don't reach 3 million.

    But all the number talk aside, they need to fight already. Split it 60-40, fight @ 147. Floyd picks 1 judge, Pac picks 1 judge, and 1 neutral judge. A neutral ref as well. Since Pac gets the smaller cut but is a big star as well, let him pick the location.

    What a Joke.

    Mayweather vs Pacman is the only fight that matters.

    Pacman has agreed for TWO YEARS to take 40% and do FULL TESTING.
    Floyd does not want the fight.

    every one is over reacting, Floyd has already said right after his last fight that he is open to fighting pac if he wins his next fight. That's more then what he has said in a long time he usually avoids the subject.

    Arum has confirmed they been in talks.

    What else do you guys want?? its no guarantee it will be made so both camps have to set up side deals incase the fight falls through. A lot of time & money goes into negotiating & neither camp can invest 100% into thinking its going to be made. The money, I think is not the bigger problem, I think the location & small details is what will take for ever to pan out.

    Lets reserve our "duck" comments until both camps have secured a next fight, Floyd nor pac have secured a future fight.


    Both camps have a gag order on spilling the beans. Arum confirmed it.

    I think at some points he did but was very reluctant. But with the pressure, no matter how scared or how bad he does not want it, he'd have to take it. With all the pressure and we bring down the house with it, if he retires before facing Pacquiao for ANY reason, I'll call him a coward.

    Otherwise, he better have a damn good reason for not facing him.

    If you decline an offer, that same offer won't be on the table a year or two later. And the more Pacquiao publically says he wants Floyd, the lower his offer will be. When you negotiate, you can't look desperate because you'll get low balled.
