    Simple, Cotto quit once and could easily quit again. Mayweather knows this.

    The fact Pacquiao is better.

    People who say Cotto was 'drained' are deluded. Look at Clottey and Margarito fights too from both, Pac demolished both.

    So now you flom0s once again act like sheeps. Once floyd mentioned A-side B-side, you guys keep repeating it like floyd even though his demands doesn't commensurate his standing against pac.

    Let's remember that Oscar is truly the A-side vs floyd at the tinecwhen they fought. Oscar already is a PPV star while Floyd has 300k as his biggest ppv. Now against pac, floyd is not that far off to demand the same terms that oscar set for him. Floyd has no choice but to lick oscar's mexican ass. Pac doesn't need to cave in to floyd's diva demands

    this has been around in boxing long before me and you were born. to win the fight from the champion YOU GO TO THE CHAMPIONS BACKYARD AND BEAT HIM ON HIS OWN TERMS!. holy **** if you paid the cost to get that title by doing the same you have earnt the right to call the shots (within reason) ring size , glove oz , date , order of entrance etc are all very common things the champ gets the choice of.

    its funny because iv never once seen anyone pipe up and ***** about delahoya for doing this to mayweather. and you are right mayweather knew he was not the A-SIDE, he tried to get the fight with bob arum and bob would not allow it so floyd left and earnt the fight with delahoya of course he will get no credit for the fact he moved up to 154 to take on the champ in his venue with everything chosen by delahoya, do you know why no one complains about that? because thats how boxing is!

    your going to say mayweather and delahoya were on very different levels then pac v floyd and you are right they are both global icons but no one can dispute floyd is higher ranked p4p and is the bigger star by the numbers so pac is the B-SIDE he seems to have no issue accepting this so im not sure why you do?

    edit: and as your post has stated pac should not have to cave into his demands because floyds a diva, well fine then he gives up his shot at shutting floyd up and securing more money int he rematch when he hands floyd that asswhooping you all think he will get?

    So far here are floyd's demands based on some of his latest videos and interview:

    1. Bigger split - check pac had conceeded already
    2. Choice of Gloves - if floyd demands that pac wears pillows, it would cheapen his supposed agreement to accept pac's challenge.
    3. Choice of Referee - floyd has several times got a favorable treatmentfrom refs in the hatton, maidana and ortiz fight.
    4. Choice of Judges - floyd wants to make sure that the decision would be for him.
    5. Showtime as the sole ppv distributor - if pac is with hbo, this will have some problem if floyd doesn't want a cooperation between SHO and HBO
    6. Arum must not get involved with negotiations - we all know that this is impossible since pac is signed under TR. This is just like pac demanding that floyd should not fight under SHO ppv knowing that floyd is under contract with them.

    man, you need to wake up and educate yourself.. there is NO such thing as 8oz pillow gloves. you are acting like pac would have to wear 16oz gloves while Floyd wears 8oz.

    bro, all 8oz gloves are really punchers gloves, they are hard with very little padding. go get hit by these so called "pillow gloves" I guarantee you wouldn't ever call them pillows agin.

    the uneducated ignorant fans are the WORST

    You did not even answer the point I was trying to make. When Pac was the a-side on the negotiaions was it fair for him to demand every single advantage over his opponent?
