don't forget his Uncle too . Their argument is Mayweather's unbeaten record of 40-0. I'll give them that but look at the list of fighters he fought compared to Manny. Manny never ducked a challenge. Up to this point he's proven that he wants to fight the best, who ever it is.
Now I understand why they were making the Cotto fight look like a good fight.Going into this fight, Manny was still not a household name here in America and Arum wanted Manny to have more media coverage and they got it. With Manny being on the cover of Time Magazine (Asia Edition) a few weeks ago and most likely given the honor of "Sportsman of the Year" by SI, Manny is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
For the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight to happen, the purse needs to be split 50-50 which the Mayweather camp did not want to do ealier this year, arguing that Maywweather is the star, selling 1 million Pay per View subscription during his fight with Marquez.
I'm sure Arum will get a phone call this week from Mayweather's camp. There's a lot of money to be made on the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight and Mayweather is all about the $$$. Manny just want to fight! It will be stupid for boxing not to make that fight happen.
Oh btw ..... last Saturday's match with Cotto. The first half was a fight. The second half was just pure beating. That should have been stopped earlier. Manny admitted that Cotto had a heavy hand but as I expected, Manny's chin can take his best shot. Cotto said what every one says about Manny, "it's like fighting 10 guys" he could not see where the punches were coming from.
