Pacquiao's Options: Cotto Rematch, Mosley or Marquez

[boxingsense]

Manny's Potential Next Fight

A) PACQUIAO-COTTO: If Pacquiao beats Cotto, Manny will not accept a rematch even if Arums insists. What's the point? Manny doesn't benefit another fight with Cotto. There is another megafight elsewhere (e.g., Mosley).

However, if Pacquiao loses to Cotto, EXPECT Manny DEMANDING for a rematch during the interview after the fight!

B) PACQUIAO-MOSLEY: If Pacquiao beats Cotto, the inevitable fight against Mayweather MUST BE MADE. Set the purse terms at 40%-40% and the winner to get the resulting 20%! Not only does the winner get the lucrative P4P title but also the multi-million dollar giant 60% share of the pot.

However, if Mayweather demands the lion's share of the purse, I say drop Mayweather and go with Mosley. Mayweather can go after fighters in the Lightweight division (or lesser) since he's known to cherry-pick fighteres he knows he can beat and avoid ones that can give him a fight.

Pacquiao-Mosley will be a megafight. Americans will back Mosley -- a US-Philippines war!

C) PACQUIAO-MARQUEZ: There's not point! It's been done twice...no reason for a third. Manny would rather retire than fight Marquez.


NOTE: Bear in mind that Pacquiao has 1-2 more fights left!

Stop whining and get in the ring with Floyd so he can put you into retirement.

I still don't understand why nobody is giving cotto a chance, everybody talks like manny is fighting some bum, it makes no sense to me. Go figure....

If Manny Pacquiao is able to beat WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, there are plenty of options out there. Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank told the New York Post that Manny has plenty of options - even without Floyd Mayweather Jr. [details]

Agree with Bob 100%.... If Jrs' going to be a mother ***er when it comes to working things out...The hell with him! Let him go fight another LW. Besides l'll take a fight with SSM anyday if they can't work things out with the joker...

Cotto

Cotto will be bigger and stronger and will have fought better competition. His switch hitting will make Manny pay for moving up so high in weight.

If Floyd is going to play the "I don't have to fight who people want me to fight" game, you can't expect Pac's handlers not to do the same thing.

[FrankieClutch]

If Floyd fight Manny next at 147, FLoyd will worsen and ruin his legacy.

Can you imagine Floyd last 4 - 5 fights against smaller fighter when you have the Cotto, Mosley and Margarito of your division.

That is blatantly what you call a big time *****.

Dont tell that to Floyd fans. They hit u with somethin like this: "OH, he came from the smaller weight divisions" or "You have to remember he started off in the smaller weight classes." I laugh everytime i hear that. Its not where one starts off, its where one is now.

pacquiao' options:

pac really want floyd for his next fight.. floyd also wants pac bcoz he thinks pacquiao is an easier opponent than cotto,berto,williams, mosley.. this guy dont want the bigboys..

[baracuda]

look forward to a pac vs marquez trilogy or a cotto vs pac rematch or a cotto vs mosley rematch or a pac vs mosley catch weight fight because weather you like him or not mayweather will whip every last one of them including that steroid user mosley

floyd aint whippin ****....exept lw's at ww...

[baracuda]

nobody likes mayweather and thats understandable. sometimes i can't stand him and he's my favorite fighter skill wise. but arum needs to cut that financial **** out and just admit that floyd will whoop his fighters asses. period.

floyd the best in fantasy matchups.....bob knows the real world....
