By Liam Santiago: Lets get one thing straight. There are many big money men in America, who are involved in the organization of tonight’s mega fight between Miguel Cotto and Manuel Pacquiao, who want a Pacquiao/Mayweather super fight next year. They do not want Cotto spoiling the party. I just hope none of that affects judging and, more importantly, the referee’s actions.

I do not believe this one will go to the scorecards. I think Cotto stops him late on. However, Freddie Roach has been on record wanting automatic disqualification for any slight signs of low blows. I hope that doesn’t happen. Instant DQ’s are not common in boxing and I really hope that is not a factor in such a huge fight. Can you imagine, all this build up and suddenly we have a second round DQ for a low blow.

If it does go to the scorecards, and Cotto is a clear winner, will he get the nod? Oscar De La Hoya said before his fight with Pacquiao, ”I hear Bob Arum has a lot of say in the judges decisions in Vegas”. Although Cotto also fights for Arum’s promotional company, Top Rank, lets be serious, he wants Pacquiao to beat Cotto. He wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather next year in a huge fight which could generate 120 million dollars or more. I am not suggesting he will have any input on the judges scorecard, I am simply going of what De La Hoya has said and the fact that many people want to see Pac Man take on Mayweather, a plan which does not involve Miguel Cotto.
