I'm pretty upset at Cotto's corner for not stopping the fucking fight four rounds earlier. What, his wife and kid leaving the arena in tears and Cotto's DAD coming up and saying 'hey stop the goddamn fight!' isn't enough? Jesus christ.

OV good fight ^ serious? I missed all that
So what did I miss, why did they stop the fight Cotto looked fine, he was bouncing and dodgeing when they stopped it. I really couldnt tell with the slant announcers from my stream.
Did you see Cotto's face? Bleeding from the left eye and swelling that was getting severe from about the 8th round. Also Cotto stopped fighting back pretty much entirely in the 9th. At that point the trainer's all 'one more round, one more round' and Cotto went into full retreat, keeping the ref from stopping the fight till Manny could catch up with him in the 12th.
still I've seen refs let more go by than that
Cotto looked pretty fucked up. He was just zombing the fight w/ hopes to lose to a decision.
Mayweather has no excuse to duck Manny anymore. Commentators stated that this fight earned more money then Mayweather's last fight.
PPV is where almost all the money is so I don't think they can really claim that until those numbers come out. Not that it would really matter for the fight getting made though, it will just drag on for a while about what % of ppv who gets and who is a better draw/fighter and so on.
Regardless, there is no bigger moneymaker fight that Mayweather can take. In his own words, that's why Mayweather fights...for the money.
Hopefully we'll see this fight by next spring.
damn, I was out and missed it. any links up of the fight?
There is one up on mininova when you search.
Man though I fucking want to see Mayweather vs Pac so bad, I honestly have no fucking idea who would win, they both are just so ahead of their opponents, it's not even funny. I never did see much of Mayweather's matches but jesus christ he is a lot better than I ever thought, I thought he was just some overhyped joke when I saw him on the WWE.

in case you missed watching the fight due to work:
Watch the rest on the guys channel. Great Quality.
Holy shit, I don't think I have ever seen Pac get uppercut like that, his head bounced. Great match but the problem here is actually being able to outlast Pac but that isn't going to happen, dude is way too consistent.
Manny is just unbelievable really. The fact that he can just go into any division and dominate says so much, he controls his body so well to be able to change divisions like he does.
There really is no other fighter like him right now... back in the day it was all about heavyweights/super and now, you got this small guy that just jumps to each class and rapes.
not to mention, he does SO MUCH for his country. He puts out so much money for children and schools, he is just as famous as his countries leaders lol. Almost worshiped.
Great fight, I'd have called it much sooner than the 12th. By the 10th it was obvious Cotto was coasting, his face was so beaten.
I watched with a bunch of philipinos, incredible fight. The first three rounds were good, but after that it seemed like cotto was already done.
The cotto said his coach wanted to end it in the 11th but cotto said he'd go on
