Roach: "Pacquiao Doesn't Need Cotto Without The Belt"

[TOBYLEE1]

hey *******s, listen to your hero, this is what he said,


"Championship belts will not be on the line in this fight because of the catch weight of 145 pounds, 2 pounds lower than the 147 welterweight limit. However, even without belts on the line, what is more important is that Cotto and I will fight for the No. 1 pound for pound title which guarantees an active fight, no running, no retreating, no chasing around," - Manny Pacquiao

Qouted from a article in here!


So WTF happend to him now?

Who is teh diva?

Good post, all the sudden the Pac camp got greedy

[lcheezy]

cortdawg01234 thats where ive been saying is when bob arum tricked both of them. he had manny thinking ot a title fight and has cotto believing it wat at 147 so cotto signed the 2 yr deal then all this bull**** came out. bob has did it again. he ****ed both of them.

[Machingo69]

hey dans01234 if cotto wants the fight then it will be on manny's terms or there's no fight.

So you expect for Cotto to bend over every time Manny has a request ??? Get the **** out a here !!!!

[jetgeomcx]

And it will be the most BS way to capture a 7th division possible. Cong****.

145 is inside the ww division.
both manny and cotto agreed to 145......gentlemen's agreement.
nobody was forced to agree.
they know they can beat the other at that weight.
wbo will proclaim manny the champ if he wins...trust me!
becoz wbo needs champions for the sanction fees.

The thing that Cotto does not seem to understand is that The Welterweight is 140-147 pounds, not 147 only.

I agree with Cotto that Pac can't have both. I think they should fight at 147 if the title is to be at stake. If they start doing catchweight title bouts, then the weight classes themselves cease to have any meaning at all.

Yeah, they can fight at 147lbs....but Cotto will never get his highest pay of his career. Pacquiao will get 90-10%, Cotto will get lucky just to have 80-20%.

It's 65-35% for the title at 145lbs and go home rich.............. or fight at 147lbs and go home poor for Cotto.

Either way, Pacman controls the negotiations!

[ericsantos]

Lets be honest here for a minute,Roach has doubts about Pacman beating Cotto and now he is going to use that excuse to get out of the fight and isntead they will drain mosley to 142 or 143 for his title

[$partacus]

If the title is on the line and manny wins whats next for him? A Junior Middleweight title fight at a 148 limit?

The title was not in the contract, they are negotiating. Why pay 150k when you took the short end of the money and it doesn't say no where that it was for the title. If they want it let them pay for it.

i dont think you understand what 140 to 147 means
