WTF? Another CatchWeight for Pac? This is a Disgrace!

With the Mayweather fight off the table, Arum will be looking to match Pacquiao up with other fighters from his own Top Rank stable, starting with Antonio Margarito. If that fight doesn’t take place, then Arum will be looking to match Pacquiao in a rematch against Miguel Cotto, provided that Cotto beats WBA light middleweight champion Yuri Foreman next month in their title fight on June 5th at Yankee Stadium. With the WBA title in Cotto’s possession, Arum wants to match Pacquiao up against Cotto again for the WBA strap at a catch weight of 150, instead of at the maximum weight of 154for the division.

Cotto doesn't have to take the fight. You guys hate on Pacquiao for catchweights which is understandable, but you guys forget that the others guys agree to his terms. They can easily say no and walk away. Then dont blame Floyd for the Pac fight following through, blame pac for saying no

Pac got his welterweight belt at 145 from cotto and now he wants to fight him again to get his light middleweight belt from cotto at 150 should he defeat the weakest light middleweight champ in yuri foreman. Arum knows cotto will be a good boy and face pac again for a lowball 20/80 split. Cotto should break free of arum, he threw him under the bus after the margo controversy.

The Pac die hards are avoiding this thread at all costs.

I agree Ch@mp. Pacquiao can't say that he only wants the commission to do their job and then demand his own weight. And Cotto wouldn't even try to win. He'd fight in survival mode the whole fight and try to collect a paycheck. And I guess this means Pac is gonna fight Margarito at a catch weight too, right?

its gonna be at 149 lol seriously this guy is funny fights dlh at 147 cause he knew he would be shot....than fights cotto at 145 than fights clottey at 147 all because he knew he could win the fight. It's unreal people dont see this he knew he would be to quick for clottey but when he faces someone who might have a shot to beat him he ask for a catchweight being butthurt about cotto can screw your memory. dlh wanted the fight and suggested it as a WW fight.

He didn't watch the fight but said he would of knocked mayweather out in the 2nd...I don't usually get into these pissing matches..but just like floyd, manny is full of sh*t if he thinks we believe him or floyd don't tune in. havent you heard or tivo, dvrs or replays?

Yes, he has had 1 single fight at a catch weight look at Hopkins if you are in search of your catch weight king with 3 catch weight fights and now looking for another 1 with Bute. In Hopkins case he was in the same position as Cotto. The catchweights were not for his benefit. Bad comparison.

Manny says he will only follow the commissions rules when it comes to testing, but makes up his own rules when it comes to weight limits. Cotto doesn't have to take the fight. You guys hate on Pacquiao for catchweights which is understandable, but you guys forget that the others guys agree to his terms. They can easily say no and walk away.

This is rediculous. Pacquiao needs to quit doing this shit and fighter's namely Cotto better not agree to that bullshit if it does materialize. Margarito better not agree to any catch weights either, I will be pissed if a Marg-Pac fight happens at anything lower than 147. you know it will ....144-145

fighters? you mean only one, cotto. pac has only been in ONE catchweight fight. and i dont know how credible is this thread that kept flomos here babbling but there isnt even a link to the story. and for fukks sake if there was, it was arum not pac. pac is busy campaigning, didnt even watch the fight last saturday live. to busy campaigning to watch the fight? He didn't watch the fight but said he would of knocked mayweather out in the 2nd...I don't usually get into these pissing matches..but just like floyd, manny is full of sh*t if he thinks we believe him or floyd don't tune in.

Wow what a great comeback. Are you retarded? The only fighters that have agreed to mannys catch weighs are top rank fighters :dunce:. mosley was willing to fight pac at 140, is he with top rank?

Cotto was a catchweight fight and Morales fight was supposed to be at 135, Morales already had trouble to make 135. Bob Arum insisted to have it at 130, that killed him. I don't think Pacquiao is wrong for fighting weakened opponents, every fighter is looking for an advantage( ring size, place of the fight, gloves, wiehgt,etc..) in a fight, which is an important factor if u're a fighter. Some fighters like Cotto bend down to their promoters demands, sacrifying crucial advantages and losing the mental edge just for money.

you're pretty dumb. manny wasnt the one who made weight at 112 pretty much lost the fight at the scales he was so weight drained. he didnt ask for a catchweight fool. why are you still mentioning morales when the topic is about catchweights? are retarded like that other man's ass you're licking? You do have reading comprehension problems, so Ill let you be! Go stick Manny's balls in your mouth!!!! Well my bad, they are already there :op:

Pacquiao demanded a 1,000,000 per pound weight penalty on Cotto.
