Roach repeated what he said a few days ago that if Cotto, who will be fined $1 million for every excess pound, goes in over 147 then he would call the fight off.
“He should be able to make it. But I really don’t care what he weighs. The contract is the contract. We’ll deal with it as it comes. If he’s too heavy there’ll be no fight,” he said, however, adding that Manny might go the opposite way.
“Manny doesn’t give a ****. Manny will fight him at any weight. Manny will fight King Kong,” said Roach, then asked how much he’s putting into the fight.
“I put a thousand in the first round then I put a thousand on rounds nine and 10,” said Roach.
