If its only PPV in America then i guess that will change things mate i totally agree. I guess what im basing my opinion on is achievements and current standing within the sport which is just one point of view i suppose.

If Pac could destroy Mosely then I would be truly amazed.
Cotto has always had the reputation of being vulnerable right back as far as his fights with Corely and Torres.
Mosely on the other hand is like Hopkins and Toney, just one of those guys you never ever expect to get knocked out.
Despite Manny proving me wrong four times in a row, if Mosely and Manny ever fight, my money's on Sugar Shane.
Just not a lot of money though ;D
mosley beats both imo
Pacquaio won't take less money and neither should he. He's P4P number 1, his legacy is already cemented, thought of by most as the greatest of his generation, arguably the greatest since Duran, etc., and before Saturday while Mayweather was doing somewhat better on PPV's (under better circumstances it has to be said, better economy, him beating ODLH and Hatton also took a little of the starch out of Manny's fights with them) if the early indicators are true Pac-Cotto might be the biggest grossing PPV not including Oscar. In fact I could see Arum taking the Cotto numbers and asking for 55-60 % of the cut for Pacquaio. In the end it will probably be 50-50. At the very most 55-45 but I even doubt that. Anyone insisting 60-40 (you could actuall say 55-45 too) would be pricing themselves out, just another way of ducking the fight. Again, I don't think that will happen.
Mosley has a MUCH better chin than Cotto and he has faster hands. He will be able to trade with Pac without getting buzzed. Mosley also hits harder than Cotto. Mosley has a GREAT fast and hard straight right, which Cotto does not. All those jabs snapping back Pacs head against Cotto would be power rights from Mosley.
Pac against Shane would be a war. I would give the edge to Pac on points, but I can't see him stopping granite chinned Mosley.
