Cotto Deal Presented To Pacquiao's Team For Nov. 14 Clash

Moorer is out of Freddie's Gym. Who will gonna replace him?

Although it will be a different and difficult fight for Pacman at 147 against Cotto, Pacman can still knock him later in the rounds.

Name 1 fighter Pac fought at a catchweight?

what he did to wrik Morales twice was bad eanough. Let me not start with ODLH

They fought at Welterweight not at a catchweight.. Twice? They fight at 130 and rematch at 130. When in fact it's Pacquiao who came from 122 several months ago and jump up to 126 and 130 in a span of few months.

damn sure u are, brah. u made a nice one!

Rudy salud should be the one watching what he says concerning roach. Manny is loyal to his coach. He has proven that during his time under murad muhammad

[jetgeomcx]

Not when he's putting a fat check in the bank. I'd let Pacquiao knock me out for far less money than he'll be getting.

Boxing = business, not only a sport.

count me in,....i can fyt manny at whatever weightfor $1M ...for 1 round.
and dive i'll go....

[boxxerr]

agreed. Manny is loyal to his coach.

[STAB]

Your right it wasn't a official catch weight but it was actually even worse then a catch weight

dumb!

Freddie Roach agrees to 145lbs

As per Primera Hora (Puerto Rican newspaper linked below), Roach has accepted the proposal to have Pacman-Cotto at 145 lbs.

http://www.primerahora.com/diario/noticia/boxeo/accion_deportiva/miguel_cotto_y_manny_pacquiao_pelearan_en_las_145_libras/309992

For those who don't know spanish here are several quotes from Roach on this news report.:

"Arum called me and I told him that didn't have any problems with the fight being at 145 lbs. In reality i don't care if Cotto wants to weight more than 200 lbs"

"I trust my fighter so i could care less abouth the weight issue"

"I haven't talked to Manny, who will make the final decision, he is a grown up and can make his own decisions, all I can do is give him my recomendations"

"Obviously we want Manny to receive a better payday than the fight with Hatton, there's no reason to go backwards on the money issue, therefore those details will have to be discussed"


So apparently we will have Cotto-Pacman after all. I have been against this catch weight issue since they started but at this point and hearing that Cotto will accept a fight at 144 I guess there will be no excuse now that it might be at 145.

[cottothechamp]

145 is fine, but if he trust his fighter so much then why not at 147?

[STAB]

the more people think manny's gonna win,the more beautiful the upsets gonna be. & bigger the star cotto's gonna become.

vice versa! lol

[BOOMbip]

I hate Bob Arum......no I really do!!!!!!

Secondz in answer to your sig...

This is why I'd rather see Cotto vs Pacquiao
