WBO wants To make Manny Cottos Mandatory

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Good point Mak.

1/4 legit...

since they are fighting for 3/4 of the belt !










j/k ...

its like Barrera at 126...his WBC belt wasnt on the line but he wasnt really considered 'the man' after

No surprise, the Worst Boricua Organization is owned by PRicans, I can't remamber the last time Cotto had a mandatory. This is just another way to avoid them.

Their mandatories are probably the worst anyway so its not really a big deal.

The World Boxing Organization (WBO) wants to accommodate filipino Manny Pacquiao in the first position in the rankings of the 147 pounds so the fight with Miguel Cotto will be for Cottos title for their scheduled fight on November 14.


"I've asked the committee to put Pacquiao at number 1, so that he is fighting for the title of Cotto," said Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel, president of the WBO, in an interview with Primera Hora.

"We discussed the matter with Bob Arum (promoter of Cotto) and he agreed to be a tite fight," he added.

However, Gabriel Peñagarícano Cottos advisor, said that the title is one of the points that are still being negotiated.

"The fight been for Miguel's title is still a thing to negotiate," said Peñagarícano.

"It will be one of the factors to consider while discussing all aspects of this fight. As saying that an agreement was signed, is not true. There are several things to discuss. All that is agreed is that the fight would be 145 pounds, "he added.

After winning via split decision to Joshua Clottey on June 13, negotiations for a clash between Cotto and Pacquiao are designed. The World Boxing Organization (WBO) to accommodate filipino Manny Pacquiao in the first position in the rankings of the 147 pounds as long as Miguel Cotto risks his title for teh fight scheduled for November 14.








Just When I thought the WBO was teh better of the Sanctionng bodies they come up with this ****. I mean WTF? Why jump Manny ahead of all this contenders just to make teh WBO look good, for havong a star ranked?

Dont get me wrong guys It doesnt bother me that it will be a title fight, but Making Manny the Number contender is straight up Bull ****.

Another thing is the fight is almost done, they have alredy agreed on a the 145 weight limit.

You actually thought the WBO was credible? Hamed was the one who m,ade their belt famous, and they allowed him to choose his own opponents and opt out of fighting JMM for years.

Unlless the fight takes place at 147 no belt should be on the line.

technically anything between 147-141 is WW.

no belt should be on the line unless manny n freddie put there money were there mouth is and make this fight at 147 were it should be

cotto weighed in at 146 lbs... 1 lbs isn't going to make a huge difference for cotto

I don't think Cotto would mind if this was for his belt or not, he just wants the big fight, belt or no belt

exactly, cotto is just using the belt as leverage to get more money. he doesn't really care about the championship.... he beat jennings for pete's sake for a vacant belt, how important is it to him really?

lets say the belt isnt on the line



and Cotto loses to PAC, how legit is that 'championship' title really?

if cotto loses and still retains the "championship" its even less legit than fighting for a vacant belt.

[mellow_mood]

its like Barrera at 126...his WBC belt wasnt on the line but he wasnt really considered 'the man' after

some **** like that!!!

i dont really care.. i just want the fight to get done!!!


the only ones who care here about the belts is PAQUITO VARCARCEL.. cos hes getting money if the belt is on the line.... besides that....


the belt means ****

[PACBOY]

Belt or no belt... championship or not... After this beating Pacquiao gives Cotto he wont be the same after anyway. We all know how sensitive he is !
