Pacquiao-Cotto Title Bout Rests on WBO's Section 15

[prsi]

cotto needs to just collect his easy $15 million and be happy

Yeah he can do that by fighting at 145 without a title, 147 with the title or step away and then fight PBF next year as a free agent.

The Wbo lost a lot of fans!

what a crock of ****! the pres of the WBO is so far up paq's ass he can taste his breakfast! i hope cotto beats manny senseless! and i love manny but this bull**** from his camp really pisses me off! nowadays we need to fabricate champs! sure manny is a great fighter, but to hand him a belt when he is NOT in the welter class is a PURE joke!!! If cotto wins, he should take the belt and throw it into a pile of cow **** and NEVER become the WBO champ again! He was one of the few fighters who made the WBO legit!

[swizz]

Cotto has nowhere to run....

he aint running

[skyler]

If pacman wants the belt so bad, he should have to fight at the weight that the belt represents.. simple as that.

There's really NO WAY that Armstrong's career can be compared to a modern day fighter. He fought sometimes 2-3 times a month. On top of this, he was usually outweighed by a goodly margin.

But................very many of his TOP opponents had what would be considered today VERY POOR records, often with double digit losses.

Soooo.........how can one make a comparison........???

[lcheezy]

all this **** is still bob arums fault for bull****ting both of them behind their backs just to make this fight.pac gets the weight and 65-35 split and cotto gets a break from the bigger ww fighters,a new 2 yr. deal and his biggest payday.no title was mentioned period to either now the **** has hit the fan. dirty bob has done it again.i don't bleme either fighter for their stance.

there are people that actually thought the wbo was legit. lol u guys are so gullible. I've been trashing that belt since margo had it.

WW = anything between 141-147; 145 falls within that range, thus the titles can be on the line, pending negotiations. please get this in your brain.

hey skyler you dumbass idiot. the belt represents 141-142-143-144-145-146-and 147 which is the limit to welterweight dummy. all of those weights are in the welterweight division. even a dummy like yourself hopefully has a little common sense.

I understand that Cotto is being played by these sanctioning bodies, but I can't understand why he re-signed with Arum if he is so hesitant to go along with the program of the belt being on the line. He talks about how Arum wasn't there for him in the aftermath of the Margarito fiasco, and then turns around and signs with him for the purpose of landing a Pacquiao fight. And now that the fight is set up, he waits to stand up for himself after he signed the deal witht the devil. He may have not known that the WBO was going to pull this before he signed his contract with Top Rank though.

pacquioa can weight 145 if he wants but the champion should not be mandated to fight at 145 when the limit is 147
