        Cotto has never weighed over 147, so any worries are unnecessary. Roach has already said he could weigh 147 if he pays a fine, so it's impossible that Cotto would come in over 147 unless he's much, much richer (and more scared of Pac) than I give him credit for.

          A few pounds won't make a difference in the fight.

            So whythe catch weight? If the 147 belt is on the line ; Why is the fight not at 147?

              Since its a compromise weight I guess, Pacquiao moving up 5 lbs. north and Cotto down 2 lbs. and since it's within a welterweight range, they agreed that the belt will be on the line.

                JMM still fought PBF even though he came in overweight so i dont see why there should be a double standard here.
                and it worked out excellently for JMM. Im glad he won the fight.

                  Cause Roach is scared of Cotto. He tried to get him down to 143 at 1st.

                    "Our limit for Cotto is just 147 lb [if he’s overweight],” Roach said. “There’s no fight if he weighs beyond that. Cotto will be assessed a $1-million penalty for every pound overweight.”
                    wow, roach just gave cotto the go ahead that its okay to make 147.

                    I bet cotto will weigh in at 146 1/2 the first try then come back later & make 146 even. He wont ever make 145.

                    146 will be the final weigh in, pac will sign off, then cotto will come in 160 on fight night while pac will come in at 148 fight night. welterweight vs middleweight.

                    makes the achievement even better if pac somehow wins.

                      Cotto is too disciplined for this to happen, he is always on weight when it comes nearer to fight night.
