Boy Stop! Quit Playin!
Both PBF and Chico were undefeated when the matched up (and the bout was at 130, why are some of you guys bringing up 135/140?!). And most analysts were picking Chico....or at the very least give Pretty Boy problems. Go watch that fight....HE BLEW HIM OUT THE WATER.
Both, PBF and Pac will enter the HOF. PBF needs this fight if he wants to be cemented as the greatest of his era.
No! Chico is 6 feet tall and had been draining himself to fight at 130. No man 6 ft tall should be fighting at 130. But ok. He did blow him out the water. Thatis true

naaaaaah, i see them making more. do you know how many PPV buys theyre gonna have??
but the main ones making money are goin to be the promoters. Money May seems like a business man too, so he's gonna make sure he gets his good cut. Pacseems like he just lets his people handle everything and he just fights....but that can be a set up for somebody to be jacking him ala Don King x Mike Tyson
btw....how much was made from the last DLH-PBF fight? there was a lot of hype for that one, but i see the hype for this fight going thru the roof!!

Neither of these guys are anywhere near the GOAT.
Manny's win against Cotto solidified his legacy (but it can always increase), Floyd's legacy can still be shaped (both good and bad).

It can go either way if they fight. IF PBF wins then it will be in decision and with cleaner punches. we know that he cant knock out pacquiao from noticingpacquiaos chin in cottos fight. if cotto landed those punches on another fight i garentee he wouldve been dazed. IF pacquiao wins he will knock him out or justbeing more active in the fight just because freddie roach isnt stupid and he has a gameplan of hitting maweathers shoulder since thats the only thing he offerswen he blocks

Floyd needs this fight. This is the only fight people really wanna see and needs a career defining win. He doesn't have anything close to that.
And I agree with whoever said the money changed Floyd. The FloydI remember at 140 and under was just absolutely disgusting both defensive and offensivly.
hella handsome

im sorry, let me clarify... are you saying that manny can knock out floyd, but floyd cant knock out manny?
im a fan of BOTH fighters, and i want to stay out of all arguments/debates in this thread, because i know how the fanboys will get, especially the new pacmanfans (who probably have only seen his last 2 fights). BUT, i definitely think that PBF would knock manny the hell out.
but then again, I also thin pacman can take pretty boy.
this is just a match i want to see, but If i were to put money down, it would be for the mayweather camp.

QFT...It's called the "Sweet Science" for a reason, why it gets compared to Chess. If you want to go watch some guys who aren't good atanything kick the crap out of each other watch UFC.

$82M seen from Pacquiao-Cotto pay-per-view
By Francis T.J. Ochoa
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 03:32:00 11/17/2009
LOS ANGELES-Do the math, start counting.
Manny Pacquiao is expecting yet another cash windfall after successfully making history following his 12th round technical knockout of Miguel Cotto
Pacquiao earned close to $13 million from his lion's share of the purse and is expected to make much more from his fat slice of the pay-per-view (PPV
Experts are saying that the Pacquiao-Cotto bout could generate at least 1.5 million PPV buys, leading to a gross of $82,425,000, after taxes.
Pacquiao is again expected to get a huge share of that pie through his own promotional outfit, MP Promotions.
"The signs are good. We really won't know until we get the preliminary results on pay-per-view sales on Wednesday," said Top Rank chief Bob Arum, who promoted the fight dubbed "Firepower".
Initial reports, however, indicated that the PPV hits for the Pacquiao-Cotto bout could exceed the 1 million buys reeled in by the fight that saw Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"From every sign that we see, we know our goal of garnering more than one million pay-per-view buys is well within sight," Mark Taffet, a vice president for HBO Sports, which beamed the fight on PPV, said earlier.
That could mean that Firepower will profit more since it was sold to homes on a higher price.
Mayweather-Marquez PPVs were sold at $49.95 each, while the Pacquiao-Cotto PPVs were sold for $54.95 each.
Huge demand
And despite the higher price, there was a big demand for an uninterrupted showing of the Pacquiao-Cotto bout.
"We've never had this experience with so many people ordering a fight," a local New Jersey cable operator was quoted by Fighthype.com as saying hours before the clash. "This must be a big, big fight."
Several cable operators were forced to turn away customers because they could not keep up with the demand, the report added. And these customers even filed complaints.
"We're sorry," the New Jersey provider told customers. "We are just so overwhelmed with people trying to order this fight. So many people are trying to order it from their remote controls that it locked up the computer. It was processing so many orders, the computer was overwhelmed."
Huge fan base
Aside from the profit it generates for the pound-for-pound champion, the PPV hits will play a crucial part in negotiations for next year's highly anticipated superfight: Pacquiao vs Mayweather.
Richard Schaefer, whose Golden Boy Promotions partnered with Mayweather's outfit for the Marquez bout, said Pacquiao-Cotto would have to exceed the PPV hits of Maywather-Marquez to prove that the Filipino could get at least half of the share of the purse.
Mayweather's camp is asking for a 65-35 share in profits, something that Team Pacquiao is not amenable to, especially since the new welterweight champion is on a meteoric rise to stardom and commands a huge PPV-buying fan base.
Biggest pay day
Aside from the 16,200 fans that bought tickets to the Garden Arena for the Cotto fight, close to 18,000 also purchased closed-circuit TV seats to watch Pacquiao as he demolished the Puerto Rican after a slow start.
Cotto earned over $6 million for the fight, his biggest payday by far, and is expected to also get his own share of the PPV income.
Is Floyd trying to price himself out, cmon man we need thisfight
