Bob Arum "Cotto Says He Will Fight at 145"

[Ravishing]

From Dan Rafael's Blog:

Arum said he has been in regular touch with Cotto's lawyer since Cotto's hard-fought decision win against Joshua Clottey on Saturday at New York's Madison Square Garden, where Pacquiao sat next to Arum and indicated midfight that he wanted Cotto next.

"We have a number of points we are talking through, but nothing that's deal-breaking," Arum said. "Everything looks great."

As for the Pacquiao side, Arum said Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz is flying in from the Philippines to meet with him Sunday in Las Vegas. Arum said he plans to present a deal to Koncz, who will take it back to Pacquiao.

"I'm moving forward in an attempt to have this fight happen," Arum said.

One of the key points -- besides the financial breakdown, of course -- is the weight. Arum said that Cotto is willing to come below 147 pounds and that the contract maximum would wind up at 144 or 145. Stay tuned on that.

[JACK D. RIPPER]

It will be at 144, I'll bet.

This is shaping up to be some real fggot ****. Catchweight Manny will never live this down. And when he loses it will make it look even worse.

"even a weight drained Cotto was able to k.o Catchweight Manny" they'll say on BS.

I think theyre going to make a bigger deal about what weight Cotto comes in fight night more than at the actual weigh in. Cotto came in at a "healthy" 146for the Clottey fight and from what his team was saying prior to the fight, his weight was never an issue during training. I don't see how dropping 1 or 2lbs is going to decide a winner in the fight. Pacquiao will prob come in at 142 and Cotto at 144-145. The big question mark is how much Cotto is going to hydrate for the fight and if he will (or can) do that safely.

When i see cotto's fight with jab judah at 146 and Quintana at 146 and Malignaggi 138, i think he'll be more than ok at 145.

Here we go again,I just hate catchweights.Manny Pacquio's team will probably try to push for more weight loss from Cotto.

Get done with this ****,sign the ****en fight and let's someone get busted
