Cotto to Receive 65/35 Split and atleast $30 Million on the Upside
By Shawn Craddick
Miguel Cotto chose 65/35 split and atleast $30 Million total after the PPV and Gate totals will tally in. It will be the most Cotto has ever made in a fight. We know that Cotto received $6 Million guaranteed purse against Manny Pacquiao but we don't know what his upside was. It could not have been that much because Toprank and MP Promotions got a nice share of the PPV and Gate.
It was a no brainer WHY Cotto chose Mayweather. Number 1 he wants to be the first fighter to dethrone the P4P King. Number 2 he will be making his biggest purse to date. Number 3 he did not want to weight drain himself again to fight Pacquiao. In the "147lb" welterweight showdown, Cotto had to come in "under" the weight limit and drain himself down to 145lbs. Even though Pacquiao wanted him at 147lbs this time, Cotto will not risk his health again.
Floyd Mayweather took a "indirect" shot at Manny Pacquiao by stating he will move up to Miguel Cotto's "comfortable" weight class of 154lbs to make sure it's an even playing field. Floyd is no stranger at 154lbs when he beat Oscar De La Hoya on Cinco De Mayo 5 years ago in 2007. Floyd walked away with the split decision victory. Will Floyd Mayweather's skills pay the bills or will the stronger Miguel Cotto land that lucky shot that every fighter trys to land on the defensive fighter? Tune in to May 5, 2012 to find out will it live up to the Hype.

“When I met with Floyd four of five times, I’ve got to give him credit, he pleasantly surprised me,” Koncz continued. “He was very professional, very respectful, [but] it didn’t work out. I thought we made a reasonable, faire offer. The last offer that was given to him was a fifty-million guarantee with a 45/55 split, with the winner taking the extra ten percent. He had other plans obviously so I wish him luck and we’re going to move on. We’re not devastated by the fact that we’re not fighting Floyd.”

You talk nonsense you bring clottey up lmao which rank was he at the time he fought manny ? and what big fight did he win to call him a threat at WW and you say floyd ducked cotto and margarito lol that theory was created by Arum after floyd left TR.
Manny won vacated belts not only that but at cathweight, do you even know how 1 lb can effect the fighter ? the rematch between floyd and oscar didnt happen because of oscar not floyd get your fact straight.
And hatton always weight more so to fight at WW was not problem for him and not only that he had already fought at WW before facing floyd.
If you know the issues between Arum and floyd you will know why he didnt fight floyd before cotto left TR and by that said it was arum how said cotto was not ready to fight floyd after the gatti( R.I.P) fight.
Let me tell you this after first fight with moral manny was outboxed and those to fight after they fought at cathweight and that was advantage to manny that why he won those two.The second fight he was coming of a lose to Zahir Raheem instead of manny to go and fight raheem he went for the one who lost the fight as he normal do.
fought barrera after he been on all those war.
marquez give manny hell and even the last fight they robbed him that said, manny have never beat marquez.
that about 30 mil not that would no have happen in 07.
They we go to who manny ducked; he ducked mosley after he mosley had KO margarito instead he went and fought the loser of that who was maragarito, they asked to fight mosley at catchweight of 142, when mosley asked them why they fought oscar at 147 they simple replay and said he mosley was too good, they didnt fight cotto when he was undefeated but waited until he was destroyed by margarito then fought him @ catchweight remember this he didnt won the fight so he was another guy who the fought coming of the lose and the list goes on and on so dont come here and talk your Bs without fact.The last time he took on the real fight we all saw the result that he not a top fight as media make him to be this greatest fight only a fool will go for that.

Travaris your a sane dude,
Manny did not cherry pick like floyd, because he fought clottey (a true big walterweight) , something that anal liberal Josh Mathews purpose omitted. unlike floyd who ran away from cotto and margocheto, What did Manny do wrong? He never should have asked for catch weights like floyd did with Marquez and Hatton forcing them to gain fat to catchup with gayweather's weight. hahahah See Pac Hatters subconsciously dislike manny moving up in walterweight. I also dont think he belongs there, but that where the money is.but in no way did manny run away from anybody otherwise he never would have fought barrera, morales, or marquez a second time right? If floyd was into making money, why did he not get a rematch with Oscar, who made 70M, a rematch would have given floyd the upside instead he fought Hatton in 2008? Why not Cotto? Oh ya there are no puerto ricans that are interested in boxing like dumb ass Josh Mathews noted. Cotto is a pretty big draw, I guess thats about 2 dozen puerto ricans and that why smart guy mayweather will fight cotto now, wait why did he retire then and not fight cotto first then retire? wont that mean mayweather will miss out on the $30M he make in May 5 2012 oh ya so Mayweather postpone $30M in 2007 because he forseen the bad economy and decide to fight cotto on a rainy day or cotto becomes more vulnerable wow. cuz Josh Mathews is Pothead smoking pedophile liberal democrats..opps I didnt mean to insult all you 420s out there = )

Really Trevaris? I doubt it my man Rick Santorum will not get the republican nomination, well at least Romney will be in. Anyway Floyd Mayweather and his dad and uncle all have similar attributes as Obama, All this hate from Josh Mathews about Pacman is unfounded, Manny is very similarities with to Marquez, Morales, and Barrera than that affirmative action baby floyd with regards to their boxing career and choice of cherry picking opponents ( they did not cherry pick like gayweather) . Even though Marquez is a counter puncher, he did go up two weight classes to fight floyd kfc, something floyd will never do. Really Josh Mathews maybe knowledgeable but is bias and selectively acknowledge facts that supports his agenda, typical liberal hack thats what Josh Mathews is. Personally I would rather Manny just go back to jr walter weight and stay there and clean out that division where he belongs. He could take on Bradley, Peterson, Maidana, and Alexander. so Nitwit Josh Mathews would not blame Manny for fighting bigger walterweights,, Besides counter puncher style are like back seat drivers, to sissy to take the initiative and get on the wheel and drive. Counter puncher style are like Dennis Rodman who specialize in rebounding..nothing would happen unless someone took the initiative to shoot or box
something floyd rarely does, of which Josh the democrat pedophile selectively forgets

Josh my dear stupid boy. I was fairly civil not saying any expletives but you had to resort to typical vulgar potty mouth jerk off you fraking pedophile hahahh hey why not comment on my analysis that floyd has a gambler affirmative action mentality like arnold rothstein who fix 1919 world series sox game huh? it really illustrates why floyd only fight smaller or fighters he know he can beat. why he avoided Cotto and Margocheato in their prime duh
