Cotto Does Not Agree With The WBO's Weight Stance

[iRealChamp]

It's not really pacquiao whos the ***** its Freddie roach and bob arum

[Sudo]

Why go back to 140 SSM is A game ass true Champion ready to fight at whatever for what ever...
Pacquiaos job is to fight Roach and team make all adjustments. Manny dont worry about nothing until the final details. His only job is to destroy who ever gets in the ring with.
He is the best P4P for a reason...Cotto is not for a reason...Get the picture?

At whatever for whatever? You mean at 147?

Roaches job is to make all the details right, just like it is Cotto's and his management job to make sure they aren't totally screwed.

In my mind, Pacman isn't P4P best, get the picture? Losing to Marquez, beating weight drained De La Hoya and beating well past his prime Hatton doesn't make you P4P champion in my mind.

I'm a huge Miguel Cotto fan but this is getting ridiculous. The man is a professional boxer, he should know that a fight at 145lbs is still within the welterweight range. Of course he's going to have to pay a fee if his title is up for it, I can't see why he's making such a big deal out of it. He's paid fees before.

Having said that, the WBO are greedy bastards, and if Cotto is not defending his title, per the contract he is citing, then they shouldn't be trying to make him pay anything.

What I find somewhat interesting, is that Cotto mentions a "rough draft" of contract and not a "final" version.

I also don't see why Cotto is making a big fuss if Arum indeed will cover those fees.
I think he should put his belt on the line. Pacquiao will be his biggest pay day and beating him will open more doors for him in terms of future big fights, like the winner of Floyd vs. Marquez.
And even if does end up losing the fight, it's not like he won't get a shot at another title. Mosley, Berto are still there at welterweight for him.

You still cant grasp it huh? Pacquiao is giving Cotto an opportunity he will never get again. To fight the biggest draw in boxing. To begin with. If he dont like the proposition he can carry his cry baby ass on to fight Berto and let Berto beat his ass for 3quarters less than he will get with Manny.
2nd of all...Manny said he will not go back up to the full WW limit in his last fight there....unless someone would agree on a catch. This should come to know surprise. If you get your head out of Cottos ass youd know this.
Cry baby mutha****as! 141-147 is within the WW limits so no matter what or which way you slice it its a WW fight!
Bottom line...If Cotto wasnt worried or insecure nothing would get in his way. Manny is giving adding more weight and Cotto is getting rid of 1 ****iun lb!
Cotts days are numbered! Find a new idol...one that aint such a women!

Beleive me Buddy that Cotto is giving Pacquiao the opportunity he will never get also (beside Maywether). Berto-Pacman, JMM-Pacquaio or Mosley-Pacman won't provide as much to Pacquio-Cotto. This works both ways because Cotto could probably land Mayweather and that will provide him something similar to Pacquiao.

On the weight issue welter weight is from 141-147 like you said but not limited or retricted UP TO 145. That what you don't get to your mind.

Botrtom line it is Pacquaio who is worried and insecure because he's the won requesting last minutes changes on a pre-approve agreement between both fighters. Cotto has sticked to this agreements and his words since negotiations started. But that's okay, being a fan of Pacquiao you should know that he always have problems negotiating fights and changing his words. This should not be new to you.

[Mr. Chago]

This is really anoying...

If Manny want's a shot at the tittle, then FIGHT at the ***ng 147 lbs weight limit...If you want a 2 lbs advantage over a WW champion...then forget about the tittle.

P4P king my ass...

[PAC-BOY]

At whatever for whatever? You mean at 147?

He was already P4P when he beat DLH...lol Come on man, You got no win here!!!
Funny...I dont recall a loss to JMM! Ohhhhh In Yoooour opinion !!!!

SSM...Has said at whatever Catchweight or WW or whatever it takes...he fight and beat Manny. SSM words!

Past prime Hatton...Funny you mention this...Before the Hatton /Pac fight nobody said Hatton was past prime. What it is, Is nobody wants to give Pac credit for any fight. Thats called HATERS! Like yourself. Hatton was at is best at 140.Hatton was a real threat at 140. Mayweatheer kod Hatton what if Manny struggles....Man all the gossip...but nobody said Hatton was washed up. Manny destroyed him ...Quick! Get over it..Pacquiao is the best fighter in the world.

[Ivansmamma]

Cotto is my hero.

Tell the WBO and their dumbass fake belt to go *** themselves.

Yeah it's great that someone that matters stands up to a sanctioning body and tells them to cut their crap or go to hell.

[1PrettyB0y1]

100k the fight gets done!!!!

y u hating on Juanma wit ur avatar? anywayz i dont think cotto wants 2 put up the title cuz if he loses 2 pacquiao he wont be as big a fight 2 someone after if he didnt have the title anymore, he could still get big fights but that title will get u more money, its pretty smart 4 him 2 do this

[cortdawg25]

Nevermind fighting past prime legends in Morales and Barrera. Nevermind moving to LW and not fighting Nate Campbell, the linear champ. Nevermind fighting weight-drained Oscar at 147(he deserved it). But now demanding Cotto WW title be on the line for a fight where you stipulate the weight limit of 145....this is absurd. How did this sheep fool people into thinking he was wolve?

Is he really our P4p # 1 fighter? Is this how our best should behave? fighting past legends, fighting titleholders and creating fugazy legacies. Draining premier fighters to pad your resume and MAKE history reflect on you kindly!

Manny pacquiao is a phony, a fake, a stan with his karate a$$!!!!

[cortdawg25]

It's a WW belt, not a catch weight belt!!! Manny, u want the title...fight for it within it's limits!
