If Cotto comes in at 147 lbs...Will he still be eligible for the belt?

[freeloada]

i say *** it.. come in at 147.. and teach pacquiao a lesson.. for a welterweight tittle you gonna fight someone at 147! lol.. 2 million is alot of money .. but like GTR said.. he wouldnt even pay 150k for sanctioning fees.. lol.. doubt he's give up an extra 2 mil.. that money is for his new jag with bulletproof windows this time.. lol

[GTR]

Bull****. Prove it.

Do what I say make sense?.. think about it. if i can find that article i would, but most likely ints in the contract.

[street bully]

The WBO has the option to strip him of the belt if they choose.
If I were Manny I would tell him to lose the weight or the fights off. I mean after all that talk and barter about a catchweight, and Cotto comes over?

A million per pound. I hear that's in the contract, maybe even more than a million.

Cotto aint that rich to approve of that clause. De La Hoya is rich so there was nothing wrong with him, but Cotto aint no De La Hoya money-wise.

hes makin 15m that night. he better think twice comin in 145+.

[PittyPat]

Hah. A certain other Pinoy just fought a guy who was near 5 pounds (probably more) heavier than him.

Again, I've never read from a reliable source that hes making 15mil.

So let's say Cotto comes in at 147...

...in a welterweight title fight, but the contracted catchweight is 145. Will he still be eligible for the belt?

are you referring about the weight come fight night? if youre referring to the weigh ins then no. cause the weigh in limit is 145

[ArthurSherwoode]

Assuming the million dollar penalty is in effect and no cancellation for coming in a pound or two over, I would think the benefits (i.e. potential future earnings for being 100% against pac, as opposed to being drained, if he feels it would make that big a difference) would outweigh the costs.

Cotto will make 145 easy. He's a dedicated professional.
