Pacquiao-Cotto Pressure Raised, WBO Title at Stake

[Da Hammer]

Another belt for Pac's resume i see. When you are the top dog in the sport its almost impossible to be denied anything. Pac will be new WBO WW champ!

Seems like all the previous report of the title not being at stake was all play to hype this fight and make people forget about the earlier september 19 fight.Pac even wrote an article that he's got no problem about the title not being on the line because they're fighting at 145 and now this? I won't be surprised if another statement saying this fight is not a title fight again and then title and then not and so on and so forth. LOL

People talking trash back and forth for 100 pages have totally forgotten that this fight is more 100 days away while money may versus juan manuel is around 50 days away. BTW, are y'all people even aware that bradley and galaxxy warrior are fighting this weekend? Poor fighters, people forgot how boring their fights are because of pacquiao and the *******s that worship him like god.

So, Bradley has a fight?
No wonder he is using Pac's name to sell his fight. He must be a PBF student

[multivitamins]

Bradley and Campbell using Pac's name on media to get some small exposure. BWAHAHAHAHA poor little boys.

[lperez]

its going to be Cotto's biggest test, but Cotto has got to be the biggest fighter Pac has faced thus far. (Oscar doesn't count, he was washed up already & way under weight.)

**** this fight!

Pac should retire & run for congress

Hello, I come from China, I am glad to know you.good luck!

Can we stop with the catchweight thing. pac's camp demanded 143 but Cotto was firm w/ 145 and he got it.he also said he has no problem at all with 145 so let it go guys. I guess Cotto himself is reasonable than most us here,he knows pretty well he will outweigh PAC during the fight by at least 10lbs. or probably more.

Technically, 147 is only the limit for Welterweight.

Meaning you can't weigh in at anything over it.

Anything under it, and above 140 can be considered a Welterweight fight.

Lending more credibility to all of this "catchweight" bull****.

I'm a diehard PACQUIAO fan, and i agree that catchweight is bull**** if they will fight for COTTO'S belt. The belt is for the WW division, so if they have to challenge the champion for the belt, then the defending champion in this case COTTO shouldn't have to go down to 145lbs and should be at the WW limit of 147lbs. PACQUIAO and his advisors is really making ****** demands. In my honest opinion..either fight COTTO at the original propose catchweight of 145lbs without the WW BELT or fight COTTO at 147lbs for the WW BELT. I would rather see PACQUIAO fight him for the belt at 147lbs. Although if they do fight without the belt at 145lbs..it is still fair game for both guys, because COTTO won't be ****** machismo like DLH and actually come in the fight properly hydrated and will be bigger than PACQUIAO come fight night.

[SceneSpectator!]

If Pacquiao wants the best, he should allow Cotto to come at 147 during weigh in...

147 is limit yes, and as long as Cotto weighs not more than 147, the fight should get going... Pacquiao on the other hand can come in whatever weight he want not over 147... If he really want it, there should be no issues in weights provided its not over the 147 limit...

Co-sign!

I am rooting for Pac to win this bout but i think putting Cottos belt to 145 catchweight must be unfair and irrational! Of course, Welterweight is from above 140 to 147lbs therefore they are fighting under WW division, but to be a champion in welterweight, you need to be a champion until 147lbs! Not limited only from above 140lbs to 145lbs!

Pacman should allow Cotto to WW extreme weight if the Cotto's belt is at stake. I think 2lbs added to Cotto's weight is almost insignificant because during the post scaling Cotto will weighed on his comfortable weight afterall.

bull sh** if he wants the belt he needs to fight at the belts weight !!! simple none of this bull sh** catch weight f that
