I knew that Pacquiao was going to win. It's simple, Pacquiao/Mayweather would be the biggest money fight ever, and one with extraordinary international appeal. Do you really think that Bob Arum was going throw that away and let his fighter, Pacquaio, get into the ring with someone who was going to beat him? Remember too, that Arum promotes both Pacquiao and Coto, so this was an especially profitable night for him, but Mayweather/Coto would never be as big as Pacquiao/Mayweather. Arum knew that Coto was not the same after the Margurito beat-down, albeit with loaded gloves, and figured, correctly, that a victory over Coto would help him in negotiations with Mayweather over the split. In professional boxing, always follow the money.
