I used to give Pacquiao all the credit in the world for what he did to OScar, but after seeing MAyweather-Marquez the truth is pretty clear... Oscar wasn't Oscar. He came in a pound lighter than Pacquiao which adding on his height and the fact he weight drained, means that Manny beat an older, slower, weaker man than himself. Mayweather fought Oscar at his best weight at the time, and Oscar looked way faster against Floyd, way more hungry against Floyd, and had way better durability when he faced Floyd. That being said I take nothing away from what Pacquiao did against Hatton, that was incredible. I don't think it was a style mishap on Hatton's part, but the fact that Manny was way too good for him, and looked a lot better than FLoyd did against RIcky. I think Manny extra power really allows him to emphasize the difference in skill levels a lot more than Floyd, even if Floyd is better than him. Roy Jones Jr got away with so much not only because he was inhumanly fast, but also because he had the power to make opponents respect him. Floyd has respectable power and incredible speed, but not the kind of power that hurts bigger men.

Either way Mayweather agreed to 30-70 split with Oscar because he was the bigger draw. Even if Pacquiao-Cotto makes more money than Mayweather-Marquez its largely because Cotto is a way more marketable fighter than Marquez. If it doesn't make more than Mayweather-Marquez then there is no way in hell that PAcquiao or Cotto deserves 50% of the money against Floyd.
