If Mayweather can ignore the catchweight should Cotto do the same?

All valid points Cotto having more class etc but if it gives him a better chance of winning why not? @panickinu is it 1mil per pound over? Obviously .

what's 2 mil if you can get a win and get more money facing PBF. This was the point I was trying to make. He might lose some of his purse but he potentailly sets up bigger fights and enhances his own legacy. Risky move but you have to speculate to accumulate.

when you want a paycheck that big and can offer you multiple benefits. 2 lbs under your weight limit isn't worth missing out on that. who else would give him those type of benefits/purse for fighting a winning bout? analyze properly please.

I think Catch weights are BS anyways just pick a division and fight in it none of this "okay dude we'll have a WW fight but we cant come in heavier then 144....deal?"

only if it benefits cotto... fock wat roach says...

Why would Cotto want to lose 2 million? That would be a good amount of the purse.

Cotto wouldn't do that for several reasons 1. He will owe a LOT more money than floyd had to pay. Manny makes it like 1mil per extra pound. 2. Cotto's title is on the line which means if he came in overweight he would be forced to vacate the title and WOULDN'T be able to get it back even if he were to win against Pac. 3. Cotto is classy. IMO personally, it wouldn't make Cotto any less classy. The reason Mayweather looked sooo unclassy about the whole situation is because he didn't even wanted to be weight in at fight night. The money situation is a dilema for Cotto, even though we all know he has money already, 2 million is 2 million, or even 1 million. The title on the other hand, if it is the case where he would lose the title even if he wins just because he came in at 147lbs which still is the WW limit, then that's BS. I would thrash that belt after the fight even if he wins. JMHO.

is not the same situation since in this case pac is the one who has the leverage...... floyd was the one who had the levarage for his fight. :boxing: in other words... for FIREPOWER: PAC CALL THE SHOTS for NUMERO UNO: floyd called the shots....

This is a tough one. If i was Cotto i would say fvk it and go up to 147 or at least at 146 just to prove a point and also make it more to his advantage. But to be more honorable with the contract and agreement, then stay at 145. For me personally, it comes down to what weight i would feel more comfortable, safe, and with the most advantage with. If it is going to hamper my performance and safety, then i wouldn't risk it.

As we all know Mayweather came into the JMM fight at 146. Many ppl give Cotto a slim chance of beating Pacquiao so should he just come in at 147 and give himself a better chance of winning as he's the underdog? that would be a big bitch move

Cotto fans will pop at PBF all day for pulling that "stunt" yet they would defend it if Cotto did the same.

i dont think cotto would do that but for me, i would like him to just wieght 147... so if pac wins, there will be no excuses.

PBF only got charged 300k per pound.... Cotto will be charged 1MIL per pound... I dont think he'll do it... Plus Cotto is ALOT more professional than PBF.

Mr boat buyer made himself look bad pullin that shit. Cotto should know better.
