Pacquiao-Cotto: WBC Approves Diamond Belt Bout

[boricuarn]

Who’s going to believe this is free for this occasion? Because Bob Arum stated till cost the fee, they want to make believe the fans that the WBC is doing something for boxing. If you want to believe, then you are a dumb ass, no me, I do not believe in absolute.

bling bling bitches. Cotto should drop the fake leather one and keep the Diamond belt. I bet Money Mayweather would love to have this belt.

You don't defend these diamond belts. If you win an approved "diamond fight" (jajaja, this is ridiculous) you just get to keep it for life. The only positive is that at least it won't lead to new divisions.

“The Diamond Belt has received a tremendous positive response from promoters and media around the world"

um yeaaa. i dont think so.

[wengz2002]

WTF!

This is rediculous~~~ I much as I love Title Fights & Belts...
The Diamond Belt is too much~~~

From the 4 Main Boxing Organization right now, I think WBO & IBF are more respectable....

Worst is the WBA with there 3 Belts each division (Super Champion, Regular Champion and Interim Champion!

Bad is WBC with this Diamond Belt!

[El Angel]

Next up, Silver, Gold, and Platinum belts. To win the Platinum, you must be a WBC regular champion. After 3 fight, you may fight for the Silver. 5 fights later and the Gold. 5 more and the oppurtunity to fight for the prestigous Diamond Belt is all yours. We need one belt for one division, but it'll never happen. Too much money

i agree with you that the belt is a complete FRAUD but i dont see how you can call this fight a fraud this is a good fight and good for the sport two of the best in the sport squarin up is awesome

The fight isn't the best possible fight and there talking about making some insane diamond belt for it. Cotto doesn't deserve the fight for one and two pac ****ing up the whole division with these insane exhibitions he calls bouts, there are so many strings attached and factors that cloud these wins that there almost meaningless and costing everyone good fights that matter. Pac should be fighting Marquezor fighting at 147 if he want in. Cotto has a WW belt but don't want to defend it, so it's not even a real fight for the divison.

Arum is selling a second tier product and acting like it's the best possible fight on the planet. he really made it worse by not giving Pac the Oct date he wanted cause now we gonna sit here til ****ing nov to see how the mismatch plays out and it will be a mismatch one way or another, i'm leaning towards pac in this but if Cotto is too big and dominates it wouldn't be a shock either. Cotto is as custom built as they come for Pac at this point, with the possible fights that he has had available, he is easy to hit doesn't handle speed well and is looked at by a very large part of the fans , media and experts broken mentally.

So yeah the fight is a fraudulent at a fraudulent weight with fraudulent title that they invented for the fight and every detail of the fight has been a nightmare from the jump.

Pac could have fought Mosley at 140 or he could have waited on Mayweather if he actually wants the fight, instead we have to watch him fight a guy that looked terrible in his last three fights. Jennings was hardly busy and he was able to stay away from cotto and hit him and he's a BUM, yeah a ****ing BUM...he is nowhere near Cotto's class of fighter and it took Cotto a min to get going, imagine Pacs speed and power, Pac def hits hard than jennings did, Clottey is slow as **** compared to pac and he was hitting him with ease.

I guess if Cotto could take these punches like margorito took his it could turned into a epic fight, but Cotto has never done anything to give anyone a reason to believe he has that stamina toughness or will to do that though. Pacs fans are killing Judah on here today and saying he is nowhere near as fast or powerful as Pac and yet that man gave Cotto massive problems until he was allowed to cheat, so i think this fight will turn out as ****ed up as the negotiations have been. Thats why i say a fraud.

Why does this trash remind me of pro wrestling?

Oh yeah.. this diamond belt bs is like being awarded ol' Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar belt. Why is boxing involving itself in unnecessary wrestlecrap?
