These weights have been around for over a hundred years (?), Cotto and Pacquaio are not bigger than boxing's heritage and history. This also makes the WBO look like an even bigger joke as well.

Originally posted by JM1 View Postwhy were you able to say that cotto call the shots here? arum says its a title fight, team pac says its a title fight, the wbo says it will be a title fight then cotto's lawyer says its not. so which one is it? and theres no need to change the purse cause cotto is already getting $15m for this fight and paying the sanctioning fees will only cost him about $300k. question for you, what division is 145?
In business ,reward and risk go hand in hand.Same thing with financing businesses,this is why some debt sometimes becomes equity and vice versa,it's because of things like this one.Cotto is a very intelligent guy and I hope he has a good team.The belt will cost Arum a few more millions of $.It doesnt matter what the WBO says now,they cant just rank Manny overnight and make him a manadatory after Cotto has signed for the fight.Cotto can take this to court and win.The best thing is Manny cant pull out of the fight now because it's signed.
