Yup, pretty much.

Several sources have come out the past few days making it seem that the Cotto fight is nearly a done deal. Including Fat Dan earlier today:

Dan Rafael @danrafaelespn · 6h 6 hours ago

Extremely strong chatter than Mayweather-Cotto 2 is imminent.

Cotto's adviser earlier today also said there were no updates on negotiations... didn't deny they were happening:

Michael Woods ***8207;@Woodsy1069 5h5 hours ago Brooklyn, NY

I asked @eaag if indeed Cotto-Floyd 2 is near fruition. "Honestly no update," Cotto advisor told me

Neither Floyd nor Cotto have been negotiating in good faith with their potential opponents. Both Pac and Canelo agreed to their terms and were given the shaft for a pointless rematch no one asked for.

I think Pac-Canelo should go down on May 2nd, 150-152 catch weight just to be a giant **** you to Floyd and Miguel.

roach trains both cotto and pacquiao.

I doubt manny or cotto fights without roach in their corner.

So the fight isn't happening?.............

Now, they supposedly agree to a 60% cut for Floyd and drug test. Which testing company they're not saying.

They could've done that years ago and we may have likely seen a trilogy of sorts.

If Manny wants to put pressure on someone, try putting it on HBO to agree with SHOtime on the particulars because according to the executives at both networks they are at this point in the negotiating process.
There is no fight if HBO and SHO can't come to an agreement. Also no contracts are drawn up until all parties agree on all points.
So to push the agenda that Floyd needs to sign the contract is bogus, just like Bob Arum stating prior to the Algieri fight that the networks were in agreement regarding broadcasting this fight.
I think HBO would frown on Bob and Manny if they pulled out of this fight after they have taken the time to sit down with Shotime to reach an agreement.
I really hope this fight happens and no one backs out this time around.

Agreed.

Pacquiao has to make it clear to HBO that the broadcast rights shouldn't be a roadblock. Stick to past precedent and just use the same model that the two networks had in place for Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson.

wtf these idiots! No Arum, now they want to even control HBO? whats/whose next? Freddie? Buboy??

I'm going to laugh so hard if Pac gives an unanswered deadline and walks away. It's a perfect way for this farce to end and both these con artists to claim victory in the media and with their fans.
