Great fight on Saturday night. I wasnt in a position (not enough TV's where I was) to watch the whole fight. I know thats kind of a lame excuse but shut up. The fighters danced for the first 5 or 6 and then you could notice Pac really taking the upper hand. His speed and power combination was no match for Cotto. Cotto dropped his guard early and it burned him. The ref bailed him out in the 12th after an onslaught by Pac.
A couple things about the fight:
- Cotto was a 3:1 favorite heading in
- The fight brought in more than $82 Million in viewing sales
- There was a total to close to 1.5 Million Pay Per View purchases
- Pacquiao took home much of the purse at around $13 million.... Oh, thats before the $82 mill is split up.
- Pacquiao held a concert in Vegas after he won. Sporting his war wounds and a bandaged ear he sang "La Bamba" among other things. Who said stamina is a problem for him?
- The TKO of Cotto was Pac's 50th career win
