According to WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, and his father Miguel Cotto Sr, WBO president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel has become too involved in the title controversy with the November 14 bout with Manny Pacquiao. Notwithstanding a recent published report by one careless hack who erroneously attributed the comments to Pacquiao in an effort to instigate a legal situation, it was "Paco" Valcarcel who said the Pacquiao-Cotto bout was a welterweight contest because it was taking place at 145-pounds.

November 14 when the Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto's challenge filipino Manny Pacquiao, the king of 147 pounds will have fought many rounds with the president of the OMB that is already in doubt climb into the ring in Las Vegas was still the owner of that agency.
Even both Cotto and his father with the same name, told the licensed Francisco 'Paquito' Valcárcel, such as the person who caused all this time, because after a few mild objections from Pacquiao and his team, the fight was agreed as an outside title.
"If required at this time, I gladly give him the letter of resignation. I have no problems with that. But in the draft contract, the fight is not for the title. That was what was agreed, "said Miguel Cotto son to El Nuevo Día, in reaction to the turn which the controversy has taken after the official last week, his commitment in November in Las Vegas.
"What happens is that as a good businessman, $ 150 thousand will go to the 'josear' as is," said his father hand Miguel Cotto, who accepted it concerned Valcárcel.
Yesterday, the debate in recent days about whether the fight between the Filipino and Puerto Rican to be world champion for the title or not, had a new round when Cotto responded to the demands of Valcárcel, who a day earlier submitted to this journal copy of the OMB.
With that, he wanted to leave a champion proved that aspires to make a fight without exposing its crown, it must meet several requirements, including paying the same fee that would pay out if the fight for the championship.
When you are clear to Valcárcel is very different to the fact that Cotto has to pay the fee to be forced to fight for the title, then the president of the OMB explained that the confrontation between the Puerto Rican and Pacquiao had to be because even if the title was agreed at 145 pounds, is still within the limits of the Welter division (147 pounds).
Valcárcel OMB also said that it may authorize a fight for his king without exposing his scepter, once the brawl is in a division other than one that is prevalent within the agency. The regulation does not say so explicitly.
In other words, there is a clear indication that Cotto can not fight without having to expose the scepter, while the fight is just a few pounds short of 147.
The only thing related to this point within the regulation is in terms of a champion if OMB chooses to fight for a title from another organism that is not in the same division that prevails within the OMB. In this case, that champion of the OMB would have a term of 10 days, if he wins the title of another division in another body, to decide which band will stay.
"I imagine that Valcárcel was another side to back in Philippines rampage and convinced them, but we are not going to convince," said Miguel. "We know from 140.1 pounds in Welter weight is forward, but the maximum is 147. We're not discussing that, "he added, before being interrupted by his son.
"For the previous fight," said the champion, "I even 146 pounds, but the contract stipulated that the 147 pounds and was fighting for the title of the OMB. To fight this no ... for this is 145 pounds and out of the title. "
The Valcárcel think Cotto is the person who has insisted the issue of the fight holding the November 14, then recalled that Pacquiao had finally agreed to face the Puerto Rican without the requirement of the scepter.
"Here we come to some agreements. The party was not happy was the part of Valcárcel. They were not the fighters. If someone has generated this dime back and forth regarding the title, was the person Valcárcel. It has not been anyone, "said the fighter.Comment
