Pac vs. Cotto OR Cotto vs Pac?

I always thought that when there is a championship fight, the champion's name is always first. So why isn't this fight called COTTO vs PACQUIAO? Even HBO is advertising it as PAC-COTTO but it doesn't make sense to me. Cotto is the champion, Pac is the challenger, Cotto gets listed first, Cotto comes into the ring last. Maybe I missed something at some point through the negotiations. Do you think this is yet another "iffy" thing that is happening to Cotto along with the already one-sided catch-weight, money split, and championship belt at stake (at a catch-weight)? Just curious...

Pac vs Cotto, Pac is the main attraction here and the P4P king.

Is BS if you ask me. It should be Cotto vs Pacquiao and not the other way around but that won't change the fact that Cotto is going to destroy Pacquiao.

i cant see why even if pac is the "main attraction" that he would be listed first. cotto is the champ at 147 which is the title theyre fighting for so pac is the challenger. COTTO VS PAC.

Look at it this way= Ruiz vs Jones Jr. **** doesn't sound right, right? So its Jones Jr. vs. Ruiz even though Jones was the one moving up in weight and fighting got Ruiz's title in Ruiz's division. Point is the bigger name and the more important name comes first.
