Pacquiao-Cotto Pressure Raised, WBO Title at Stake

[JM1]

why do you insist on speaking about matters you know nothing about?

In a title fight, BOTH FIGHTERS pay a sanctioning fee, and the promoter also pays a fee.

LOL at the idea that only the champion pays a fee.....lolol

you missed the point. what im trying to say is, being the belt holder, its also his responsibility to pay the fees but he doesnt want to pay the fees. he should feel lucky if uncle bob is willing to pay the fees for everyone. thats my point. did i say that pac shouldnt pay the fees?? you assumed that.

Know before you talk.

you should know before you talk. cotto doesnt want to pay his sanctioning fee

I don't want to pretend I know...cause I don't but I believe that the Champion pays the lion-share of the fee's...and since this is the odd occasion where the champion is making less then the challenger...I could understand Cotto's apprehension to pay the fee...From a business stand point that is of course.


I say put the damn belt up and make this fight go nuclear in hype...from a fan stand point.

i hate the catchweight ****, but the fight might as well be for the strap.....if cotto loses, it'll be kind of hard to look at him as a legit champion anymore anyways....considering the fact he got a gift against clottey. he loses this fight, he'll be 1-3 in my eyes in his last 4 fights.....so yea make this **** for the title.

What Cotto dont want is to defend his title with a weight limit below the rules simple as that...He has defend a couple of times why not now with his biggest purse...What you want him fight at 141....nice

i predict the loser of this fight will never be the same again.....

i THINK manny wins it, but let's be real cotto is the first legitimate fighter manny has faced in the higher weight classes....cotto won't just stand there and get hit like oscar and hatton. this is a hard fight to gauge.

if it is shown that the hatton KO wasn't a fluke, and manny can carry his power over and ****s with any type of authority, cotto will be in trouble.

for sure tho, somebody gets the **** beat outta them come november.

Easy fix to this.

Either Packy and his team drop the catchweight and fight for the title.

Or.

If Packy wants the belt but wont drop the catchweight, then have him pay Cotto's sanctioning fee.

its been said that arum is willing to pay the fees for everyone so its only a matter of cotto having the balls to put the title on the line

The catchweight is still bull**** though.
