So dissapointed, but props to Pacman he came out strong and did what he had to do.

Bets on Mayweather signing the contract by tommorrow? :stuck_out_tongue:

lol - Mayweather won’t sign anytime soon. He’ll duck asking for a crapload of money. GREAT fight. Roach was finally off on his prediction - unless you count what he said about going to the cards the FIRST time they talked to him. In that case, its all according to Freddie Boxtronomous where Manny finishes it a little earlier than the predictions go.

Man, was really rooting for Cotto on this one. Only time I’m Puerto Rican anymore is when it comes to boxing. Fought a smart but shit man, he seemed really scared to throw down some shots when he had him in the ropes.

Mad props for those sending links to my PM. SRK is DA BEST

if they did fight i would think that pacuiao would have to make more but would mayweathers ego allow him to make less than his opponent?

Larry Merchant: but you didn’t show him mercy
Pac-Man: I know. laughs

Bring on Mayweather, baby! :clapdos: :clapdos: :clapdos:

Mayweather vs Pacuiao. Can’t wait!

He had to say that. For him to say ā€œOh I went easy on Cotto.ā€ Is a slap in the face to Cotto.

Wow, Pac is amazing. Props to Cotto for hanging in there as long as he did.

PS: Sometimes I think Larry Merchant has been out in the sun too long. Does he just make up phrases on the fly?

I think they both could easily ask for 25+mil a piece. The fight could be as hyped as Ali vs Frazier 1.

Congrats to Pacquiao. This man is just amazing.

Great fight, and Pac-Man!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

Oh right, DS and I after the fight:

(9:42:51 PM) SnakeSl777: shit fight
(9:42:53 PM) SnakeSl777: pacman should have lost
(9:43:03 PM) SnakeSl777: fuck flips
(9:43:04 PM) SnakeSl777: real talk
(9:43:06 PM) SnakeSl777: shit people
(9:43:41 PM) colbeagle: lol

Great fucking fight. It was pretty obvious that Manny was just fishing for the KO after the midround, but eternal respects to Cotto for not giving up and sticking with him.

Lol. Merchant - "Manny went from zero to hero. Now he went from hero to nero."
Me - ā€œthe fuck…?ā€

Fuck yea for pacquiao giving another dominating performance. Im gonna be buzzed about this for a while. Pacquiao getting that 7th title in 7 divisions and making history, fuck yes!

It was a pretty good fight, but you could tell from Cotto’s expression that he knew it would be over by about the seventh round. I thought it was funny how nobody really had a problem with his late round ā€œtactical retreat.ā€ After the Margarito fight though I just always assume Cotto is probably going to get busted up. I’m still taking Floyd over Pacquiao because their styles make for a total mismatch. If Pac beats Mosley at some point though I’ll be pretty damn impressed.

Mayweather is gonna dodge and besides, Pacquiao has nothing to prove anymore in my opinion.

LOL :lol:

I wanted Cotto to win but much respect to both figthers. Pac-Man is good and deserved the win.

Like I said, Manny bein’ Manny.

You’re right. In fact he had nothing to prove before this fight too. His legacy was already sealed even before the Hatton fight. He is now in a plane among the super all-time greats, and from now it is only a question on where he places in history’s pantheon.

How was the post fight interview? My stream didnt have it

Good fight, should have stop the fight in the 9th round. Poor Cotto, he’s a touch SOB & cant take a lot of good hits.
