Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto Fight Saturday Night; Mayweather Next?

Nov. 13, 2009

By Joshua Molina, HispanicBusiness.com

Boxing's pound-for-pound best Manny Pacquiao takes on welterweight champion Miguel Cotto Saturday in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena but a Pacquiao fight with Floyd "Money" Mayweather is the dream fight that boxing fans want.

"I don't think it's going to happen," Pacquiao told the Las Vegas Review-Journal "I'm sure (Mayweather)Idoesn't want to fight."

With the retirement of Oscar de la Hoya, Pacquiao and Mayweather are widely regarded as boxings best fighters. Pacquiao has looked unbeatable in recent fights, including a convincing victory over De la Hoya. Mayweather has never lost and would be interested in a Pacquiao fight, both for the money, and for the undisputed titled of boxing's best.

Pacquiao must first beat Cotto Saturday night.

The Puerto-Rican Cotto has a record of 34-1, with 27 knockouts. Like Pacquiao in the Philippines, Cotto is legendary in Puerto Rico.

For me I am not interested in a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight, if Manny wins tomorrow who needs Floyd Mayweather, certainly not Manny. Manny could retire tomorrow and he has cemented his legacy in boxing history. He has the money, so who needs whom? I think Floyd has run out financially. Got most of his purse nicked by the IRS, he needs Manny more than Manny needs him. The Mayweathers talk too much trash so I'd rather leave them to their own trash. He could never be a Manny Pacquiao wether they fight or not. He even got booed on his way out in his last fight.
