This would actually be a good point in negotiating for a title clash at 145, a point which proves that Cotto is not actually a welterweight, and that Pac is not coward for not agreeing to 147 before fight-night.
This would be a good negotiating point for Pac fans, despicable for Cotto fans. But a good strategy nonetheless if they invoke it.
They are playing a chess game, and this will have been a good move to pressure the Cotto Camp, or move on to Mosley.
Then again, same-day weigh-in already had a precedent and sanctioned by the WBO just recently, so Cotto`s Camp better beware.
I really hope you are just joking and trying to get a rise out of people. If not, you truly are stupid.
I hate people who try to analyze something that is a very simple concept to grasp. Usually when they do this, they turn a very simple thing into something very complicated and dumb. It never fails. The ****ed up thing is that ThunderWolf thinks he is really smart and clever for thinking of this. I bet his IQ is somewhere around that of a carrot.
You'd likely cause someone to get killed if you forced them to come in at the weight limit on fight night. They have weigh ins the day before the fight for a reason.
Everything is Cotto's favor? The split is 65-35 and Cotto has to come down in weight. Pacquiao can come at 141 if he wants too and Cotto has to bust his ass to get to 145. Some of you people just don't get how hard it is to come down in weight for a boxing fight.
They are fighting in Las Vegas
Weight 145 and Pacquiao wants to imposed 1 million dollar per pound over
65-35 share
Manny even wanted to in October so Cotto would not have enough time to heal his cut.
He also want the title.
In FACT, the article below is an example of the SAME-DAY weigh-in imposed by the WBO. The Pacquiao team should use this jures prudence to teach the Cotto Team not to be too arrogant on weight issues. Because, it all boils down to one thing: 147 at fight night, not middleweight for Cotto.

if Cotto vacated the tittle. They wont be able to imposed same day weight in, get sanctioning fee, and a tittle fight.
Then everything is in Cotto's favour. Which is unfair to pac, Am not a pac fan by the way.

Both are terrible because Cotto would be in a big disavantage in both.
145 is fine and fair but no title should be at at stake.

They should fight at 147 for the WW TITLE at FIGHT NIGHT to end all controversies. Do you agree or not agree?
no it shouldnt! the fight should be at 147 like any other normal welterweight fight. espescially if the title is on the line. pac is a bit of a fanny for ****in about over 2lbs. you didnt see ricky hatton begging floyd mayweather to fight him at 145 and put his title on the line. paac could probably still smash cotto even if they agreed to a weigh in limit of 200lbs!!!! so stop ****in about pac, and weigh in at 147.
I understand your point and agree with your argument especially since there isnt sameday weigh in anymore, Am just stating my opinion on the fact that pac and cotto doesnt seem have come to an agreement on what weight the fight would be at.
To solve the ongoing problem thats why i propose that option, better than the option of Cotto coming in at 143 on weigh in night.

147 is the limit you have to make. It dosen't mean you have to be 147 at fight night. If I make 147 I have the right to rehydrate all the pounds I want.

The reality of this match is Paquiao will come to the fight at 147 lb. (a weltherweight) and Cotto more than 160 lb. (a middleweight)... yet so many geniuses are bitching and crying how unfair it is for Cotto and his welterweight belt
Pacquiao was coming in at 148 when he was at 135, so I am sure he will be a higher than 147.
That shouldnt be Pacquiao's concern, The fight says 147 not someone coming in at 160 on fight night...so for that reason i prefer that option to telling cotto to come in at 143 the night before.

did u actually read the article? CANADIAN boxing rules
All rules can be broken especially if there`s a precedent, and specially if it is the same WBO who is very interested in sanctioning the fight.

:why:
How can you agreed to this crap? Cotto can't come in at 147 the day of the fight. He would be a dead man if he can't rehydrate
That shouldnt be Pacquiao's concern, The fight says 147 not someone coming in at 160 on fight night...so for that reason i prefer that option to telling cotto to come in at 143 the night before.

Cotto walks around at 170+ dude. He ain't no Flyweight and no WW can have a same day weight and fight. I am done talking with an idiot like you.
Right before your eyes it has already been done. Well this is my opinion on what can be done in terms of precedence, it seems you have no legal background. I better e-mail Pac`s advisors, it would cause hell at the Cotto camp, could be fun.
If the WBO can do this at super flyweight, then they can do it in other weights. The other sanctioning bodies can do it as well.

Tell me when we had a same day weight in for a WW fight? You have no dignity dude.
