Pac-Cotto should happen @144

[Titing Kabayo]

what else do you want cotto to give in??? weight, money, place...what else buddy????

A fair weight or no fight...

Pacquiao didn't look slow or sluggish against ODLH at all and he jumped 12 pounds for that fight. Putting on 2-3 pounds in gurth is bad but Pacman will put on lean muscle so let's not use that as an excuse. Let's see if the 9 pounds that JMM will put on to fight Moneymay will make him slow. Better question did Pacman look slow in his rise to 135 also? That was a 5 pound increase in his destruction of Diaz. Pacman will be fine at that weight since weight gains have never been as issue before and he looked beastly at 140.

thats the thing, pac already fought at 147 and looked good at it. so why now he cant do it??? they want the easy route of fighting dehydrated mommies hopefully cotto will not give in to that bs

Pacquiao vs Mosley will not do good on PPV. Mosley is not a draw he's never been a draw. Hatton is a way bigger draw and his fight with Pacquiao only did 800K, so a fight with Mosley is not going to do much better specialy when you don't have most of the east coast viewers.

Agree to disagree big dogg. Shane imo is a bigger draw than we think. If you have 2 of the best fighting against eack other it will always do well. East Coast viewers will pay to see that fight. Its Pac Man vs Sugar. Its not like nobody knows who Shane is.

I think you'll be suprised with the numbers. The fight with Cotto, Shane gained fans even in a lsoing effort. I also know from the fight with Margo he gaines a lot more fans.

He wants Cotto to come out like a corpse.

LOL, corpse after losing 3 lbs... wtf... you must remember pac weighted 142lbs during DLH weigh in and that's the highest weight he can reach... now you are demanding 147?... dumb, just dumb..

If pac weighted 145lbs during weigh in against DLH, I won't argue... but for gods sake, it's 142...

A fair weight or no fight...

a fair weight is 145. cottos nutritionist already said it. 144 will be a risk for MC . i like both fighters but manny is def looking like a ***** right now...well maybe not manny but his team is talking too much ****

[rod_serrs]

So it is ok for pac to gain weight because he did not look slow but ok for cotto because he looks washed up losing 1 pound? I don't think so.. Pac's weight has limitations and we all know that he can never make it at 150 fight night against a bigger Cotto... Maximizing your weight against a live opponent is suicide..

He already fought at 147!!! Unless you as a Pac fan say that ODLH was a meaningless fight at 147 because he was weight drained and way past his prime then Pac has already shown that he can fight at 147.

Pac will weigh 142 and Cotto will weigh 147 during weigh-in... tell me it's fair and I will stfu..

And don't tell me pac will weigh more than 142 because that's the maximum weight he can have during the DLH fight... and 148 at fight night.... now tell me if it is fair..

mosely and cotto's drawing power are about the same,not huge but decent....mosely vs pac is also guaranteed 100% action and seems like the easier fight to make.....

How many buys his two fights did with De La Hoya? I can't remember but I don't think they even crak 1 mill and Pacquiao can't touch De La Hoya when it comes to putting butts in seats.

Yes he can... but look at at figure man and don't base your comment on the quality of opposition... pac at 148 vs Cotto at 158 to 160 is murder... now tell me if it is fair.. DLH fight was an exhibition...
