Pacquiao vs. Cotto, “Hey Floyd, Actions Speak Louder Than Words”
By Reynaldo G
For those of us who are familiar with Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto, we know that these two warriors don’t need to hype up a fight with their mouth, even though they are men of few words their fists do the talking.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a good con artist, when it comes to selling us a fight, he can fool the public into believing the hype he promises us fireworks but gives us duds, yet many still pay for his fights in hope that someone will be able to shut his mouth.
The moment Floyd Mayweather Jr. loses, his stock will take a major drop, he knows this and this is why he carefully chooses who he faces. He knows if he gets beat not many will care to watch him anymore.
Perhaps the winner of Miguel Cotto vs. Manny Pacquiao will be the next opponent to take on Money Mayweather. We all know for Mayweather Jr. legacy doesn’t matter to him, the fight doesn’t make sense unless he can get the most money with the least amount of risk.
I have no problem with a man making the most money he can, but when they proclaim to be the greatest and speak the loudest, yet have no desire to fight the toughest fighters the fans want to see, that really turns me off.
Muhammad Ali claimed to be the greatest but he backed it up by fighting the best with no excuses. Floyd Mayweather Jr, is no Ali, Floyd Mayweather Jr. would probably respond to that with his predictable “You are right, Ali has losses and I don’t, Ali ain’t on my level”. Ali has losses cause he challenged himself and fought the best out there, just because you have a loss doesn’t mean you suck, this is boxing anything can happen.
With Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto they also want to make the most money they can, but they also care about their legacy and pleasing the fans . They realize the fans who order their fights are the ones paying their bills.
As fans we are the boss, we dictate who we want to see fight and we are the ones who pay our hard earned money to watch and support these fighters.
I will be watching on Nov. 14th and paying for the HBO Pay Per View fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. I will be paying the $54.95 because both men have something to prove and both men have honor to defend. But most of all, both men fight for the love of the sport and the legacy that will live long after them.

Great article. The public being saying it for years, Floyd’s a fraud. However, there is many that believes him. Not I.
I want to give high praise for Pacquiao for what he has accomplised. For a non-american having this much publicity and popularity. Win or lose, he’s a postivie influence to our younger generation. If Cotto somehow pull it off, he should know that he need to take over the lead and praise positive to the young ones. Good luck to you both and may the best man win!!
Yes! I agree with the above comment which is really true for the young generation to realize the meaning of life. So do hope Manny can win this fight.
God Bless!
Nice! Exactly how many boxing fans feel!
Fantastic article. Couldn’t agree more, I’m only a new comer as a boxing fan I owe discovering the sport to pacquiao I stumbled on his background story online by accident and bought Oscar Delahoya pacquiao PPV and then the Pacquiao Hatton, and I’ll be getting this as well. As for floyd who cares, he has not heart and fights for nothing but himself. You can see manny’s sense of duty when he steps in the ring, it’s not just for his own personal gain.
Pilipinos dont care for boxing
They dont even knows who Ivan Caldaron is
They dont even know who Butter Bean is

Amen to this article!
Bullshit article! stupid anti mayweather propganda at its best! This writer should be fired! you have no idea what floyd thinks.
Stupid ass article. Learn to be unbiased,You just JEALOUS that floyd is rich
I have lived in a handful of different countries, do to the nature of my work, as it follows the markets, technology, et cetera. After living for almost a year in the Philippines, I am convinced….from the ghettos in Caloocan to the executive subdivisions of Pasig and Global City…..
No other country is as crazy about boxing. There is a tournament in almost every neighborhood on fiestas, it is always on TV regardless of which country the boxing match is in, there is a boxing gym on every corner of Fort Bonifacio….
In fact, if you don’t know about boxing….you have nothing to talk about at bars.
LESTER SALVADOR: Floyd mayweather Jr knows Ivan Caldaron cause he wants to fight him at 147. For sure he doesn’t want any piece of Butter Bean. He only likes to fight Lil Fighter or a Pu$$y like RA said! Hey i could be undefeated too if i fight Pu$$y!
Lester Salvador,
It’s not Pilipinos, it’s Filipinos you stupid maggot who resides at mayweathers’ ass, and licks his balls whenever it itches.
Oscar Dela Hoya is gay!
My name LESTER SALVADOR i’m proud to say that i’m gay! hahaha

Hey look! Panco just lestersalvador’d all over herself……
Bwahhahahah
All yal are dumb fucks mayweathed is the best who else has six chapionships in six different weight divisions and only did it in 40 fights???? Nobody retards
To Lester Salvador. I hear enough sh*t from you, you don’t even know how to spell, I bet you are really ahsamed you published your name here mr gay salvador. You could be mayweather’s sidekick and you and gayweather can pick a fight at David’s Salon.
LESTER SALVADOR said filipinos doesnt know anything about boxing.
1. Pancho villa – LESTER SALVADOR your great grand parents was still living in the cave when this great filipino doninates his division in world boxing.
2. flash elorde – your grand parents were still living in the cave when he also dominates world boxing in his generation.
3. Trilla in manila ( Ali vs Friezer ) im sure LESTER SALVADOR’sparents doesnt have TV so his parents did not watch this historic events.
Now you boys take it easy. Don’t be harsh on LESTER SALVADOR. I don’t know him but I think he’s a good guy. I think he’s funny. First, he made us laugh with his stupid spelling. Second, he didn’t make sense on what he said. At least he has an opinion except it’s a dumbass opinion. Third, I think he’s a good family man because by the way he writes, it looks like he sucks his father’s and all his brothers’ dicks. My advice to you Lester Salvador is to go back to kindergarten and learn how to write before you even think of joining a forum like this. We don’t care if it takes years for you to learn. We’ll wait for you.
Great article. You got it right. The fans dictate who they want to see or not see. The fans are the ones who order their fights and pay their bills. They expect a good fight.
YES I BELIEVE FLOYD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIGHT PACQUIAO-COTTO WINNER OR MOSLEY BUT TO KNOCK HIM IS IGNORANCE. HE HAS WON 6 TITLES IN 5 WEIGHT CLASSES AND WAS A CHAMPION FOR RIGHT AT 10 YEARS STRAIGHT. HE CLEANED OUT THE 130 AND 135 DIVISIONS AND NOW ITS TIME TO DO THE SAME AT WELTERWEIGHT. I THOUGHT SWEET P HAD THE GREATEST DEFENSE UNTIL I SAW FLOYD. FLOYD DOES EVERYTHING ON HIS OWN. HE IS HIS OWN PROMOTER AND EVERYONE KNOWS HE IS HIS OWN TRAINER. HE JUST HAS ALOT OF MOTIVATERS IN HIS CORNER. YES HE NEEDS TO STEP UP TO BE CALLED TOP 10 ALL TIME GREATS BUT I WANT TO ASK EVERYONE ONE QUESTION ON THIS BOARD. WOULD YOU HONESTLY BET AGAINST FLOYD IN A FIGHT. NEVER, AND THATS WHY WE WANT THOSE FIGHTS. I’M TELLING YOU HIM AND PACQUIAO ARE THE BEST I’VE SEEN SINCE HAGLER AND LEONARD BUT MY MONEY IS ON FLOYD AND IF YOU BET AGAINST HIM YOU WILL LOSE. HE IS JUST TO SMART,SKILLED,CRAFTY AND DOESN’T MAKE WILD MISTAKES.
Tang-ina mo Lester magsama kayo ni Floyd sa kangkungan ulol ka tang-ina mo ulit…
all this article establishes is that one doesn’t have to have an intelligent, or insightful, opinion to publish on the internet!
Lester Salvador is Freaking MAD!
Hoy, “Lester”…being a PROUD PINOY named LESTER SALVADOR, JR.–I can tell you for a fact, Filipinos have always been *superior boxers*. Superior WARRIORS, in fact! With fists, sticks, blades, guns, whatever, whereever, whenever–it is the essence of The Pinoy Heart.
Keep kissing Floyd’s cowardly ass, you loser.
Floyd’s going DOWN. Go cry and choke.
MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!
MABUHAY ANG PACMAN!
MABUHAY ANG MANDIRIGMA!
THE *REAL* LESTER SALVADOR, JR./NEW YORK, USA
One more thing: “Butter Bean”? You mention that sad sideshow freak in the same company as one of the greatest boxers in our lifetimes?
You are an utter idiot. Change your name, dimwit.
Lester S., Proudly Pinoy/New York, USA
“Boriqua Lester” is crying into his platanos.
Awww, poor baby…
Go kiss Cotto’s bruises, you maricon.
Lester S./Proudly PINOY, New York, USA
Go ask a drill instructor in the US Marine why Filipinos are called “Crazy Filipinos” go check the history of why a .45 was developed.
Go ask who killed your master Ferdinand Magellan. You search yhaoo if you want.
“Amok or Amuck” = crazy filipinos on the killing rage that is why the Americans created the Cal .45 to stop them on their tracks because .38 cant stop them.
Where has Lester Salvador gone?
