Apparently, at the weigh in Mayweather Snr. said his son will most likely fight the winner of the cotto/pacquaio bout
http://boxingtalk.com/pag/article.php?aid=18574 3rd question down. Also the pc v marquez stuff is on the same site but member only content so I can not post link.
I'd have to say Pacquiao for the payday...but if Cotto wins then he'll be as big a draw as Pacquiao is now On sheer skill levels he won't be fussed because I don't think either would have enough skill in the bag to worry him
floyd don't like either Cotto and Pacquiao because he fears them and will avoid both, regardless of how much $ he loses.
I think he wants Cotto to win, Honestly if Pac wins Roach will demand a catch weight and try to take advantage of an un healthy Mayweather. So Floyd is probably and should probably look at it like this.... Cotto beats Manny, I will fight Manny (The Loser) Make some quick Pacquiao cheese and retire him, setting up a mega bout with Cotto of which both will have wins over four common opponents.... no catch weight BS no real money issues... we will have a fight.....
My gut tells me he would fight Pacquiao. Huge payday and will settle all the p4p greatest talks IMO, if pac beats Cotto. Not sure how Arum would come into play though if he was to fight the winner.
Paquio. It would be another mega fight maybe even bigger than DLH or Hatton. He also sees him as a smaller and easier man to beat. I dont even think he will face Cotto if Cotto wins.
Who ever he wants to win one thing is for sure.... he wants them to be in a nasty war. He is hopeing the winner will have some wear and tear fron this fight.
Floyd wants Pac to look suspect but come through with a win. A SD or Cotto to pull out through injury would probably be ideal.
A SD and for Pacquiao to look suspect would be great for Floyd.. as there might be a re-match and Floyd can avoid them both.
It doesn't really matter when it comes to fighting in the ring, PBF would be beat both of them, he would really school a flawed fighter like Cotto. However, I believe there is more money to be made fighting Pac because Pac has a more marketable personality and the promoter could really market a fight between PBF and Pac better than PBF and Cotto. Cotto has not pizzaz or Charisma.
