IMO he's making a stand for the integrity of boxing as a sport, and should be applauded for doing so by anyone who loves boxing.

If Pacquiao wants to fight for the title he can't expect to fight for it any less than 147. Having this a title fight is very significant for Pacquiao so Cotto's playing these negotiations well. I hope he vacates it if they don't agree on going up an extra couple of pounds.

He just doesn't think, on principle, that a world title should be on the line if a lower limit than the Welterweight limit is specified in the contract because that would be a bull**** title. And many neutrals agree with him, and some Pacquiao fans agree with him - it's not just Cotto fans.

Roach wants the title on the line and the WBO wants that big sanctioning fee, so basically Roach and the WBO are forcing cotto to vacate is title
