pacman/cotto weight

[Jack_DempseyCSC]

i know at 1st it was 145 for the fight but i thought it was now 147 in order for cotto's WBO belt to be on the line,but watching 24/7 and some comments on here seems that it's 145,anyone enlighten me to what the current weight for the fight is 145 or 147?

[Unbelievable]

It's 145. The belt's still on the line since it's still within the welterweight limit.

[Shattered Jaw]

Unbelievable is correct. The confusion arose when Roach stated "Cotto can come in 147 but it'll cost him $2M"

[MANGLER]

145 is still WW. Belt is on the line.

right cheers guys it just confuses me at times i get it now so 147 is like the maximum weight for WW? can it be anything from 141-147?

[Floyd Joy]

its 145 as far as i know.

What??? the belt is on the line???? I didnt know that, I thought the fight was at a catchweight of 145 with the Diamond WBC belt on the line.

This is why boxing is a dirty sport..

There's no minimum weight for any division. You can fight @ 170 for heavyweight fight or 135 for a WW fight if you wanted to.

yeah but what i meant is 141-147 is recognised as WW just as for instance 148-154 is recognised as light middleweight.
