WBO welterweight belt will be on the line if Pac or Arum is willing to pay for it and regardless of what Cotto wants... The only reason to prevent WBO from putting the welter weight belt on the line is if the fight will be held below 140 or above 147.
uncle bob is willing to pay the fees for everybody

Should just fight at 147 tbh with the belt on the line. But Pac beating one of the top 2 WW for a belt means alot more to me then fighting for nothing
according to section 15 of wbo's rules and regulations, title should be on the line even if the fight will be on a catchweight. so what if cotto doesnt want to pay the fees? if cotto wins, wbo belt gets vacated. if pac wins(given that pac pays the fee) then he will be crowned the new wbo welterweight champ. just read an article regarding that yesterday. it was shared by bigpoppapump
Who cares about the belt? This is about the money....
Two prize fighters have agreed to fight at 145 lbs to level the playing field as much as possible... and because the prize is right...
This thing about the useless belt is there because there are sanctioning bodies doing business to give prestige to the fight...prestige which the promoters would use to sell the fight to casual fans. We cannot blame WBC if they are trying to do business for this fight by offering an obscure belt...they would make money if the promoters bites.
To me these sanctioning bodies belt has the same value as Spacey's belt... but if the promoter can use it to hype the fight to the casual fans and boost PPV sales I see nothing wrong in that strategy... its just business.
:rofl:
and i dont want to explain anymore, cause this thread is yet to become another catchweight thread :lol1:
Cool, anyway... you liking my belt idea? :D
Spacey1991 International Boxing Association... first shit that came to my mind! :lol1:
You must have not read by post correctly, I said... 145 is within the WW limit, but it isn't the legit WW limit, meaning... if its at a catch weight of 145 then it isn't at the proper WW limit, because the legit WW limit is 147, not 145.
If I make the fight at a catch weight of 142 pounds, it is within the WW limits but it still isn't at the WW limit, regardless of how close it is to the limit being at 145... it still isn't the legit, correct WW limit... that is why they call is a catch weight... even as a Pacquiao fan you should understand and agree to this.
Just explained, we will leave it at that...

Truth is he would probably laugh in my face at the idea... but you still get my drift on the point I am trying to get across...
Oh and it wouldn't be called that, it would be called the SIBA Tin Foil Super Catch Weight 145 WW title... :D
:haha:

Pac is a spoiled bitch.... My co-workers are always asking me about whats going on with the weight in that fight (they are not hardcore fans) and why Pac/cotto are fighting at 145... and wondering if thats another weight class. All Pacquiao is doing is confuseing the casual fans and reminding them why they hate boxing.... with new catchweight belts coming out for Pac. :no:
casual fans dont know anything about weight, only the name.
they dont give a **** about 140, 142, 145. the only thing that matters is the name of the division which is WW, LW, FW
that just my own opinion
If they aren't hardcore boxing fans then it's doubtful that they know 145 isn't even a weight class to begin with.
it takes a knowledgable boxing fan to know what division 145 is

:wtf1:
in short saying, youre calling him a spoiled bitch because of your workmates :lol1:
No no no... personally i think Pac is a spoiled bitch. Then comes the story about the co-workers being confused about the sport of boxing cuz of Pacs stupidity.
I should have worded it diffrent im sorry.
Truth is, I could make up my own belt right now... and charge Pacquiao $1000 for the sanction fee... if he was to buy into it, he would be wasting money cause nobody would care about it.
