    Cotto vs PAc weigh in question

    I just want to start this off by saying I am a fan of both fighters, and do not feel that Cotto will have ANY TROUBLE coming in at 145....this is just a "what if?" question.

    IF Miguel Cotto somehow does not make 145 I know there is a $1 million fine for every pound over 145. Say Cotto comes in at 147....instead of paying the $2 mill fine, can Pacquiao and his team decline the fine and make Cotto re-weigh in until he comes in at 145? I mean, come fight night Pac is probly gonna be giving up 6-8 lbs IF cotto makes 145. If Cotto comes in at 147 he could be giving up 10-11 lbs. Is that a possibility or is the only way around it to pay the fine?

    Cotto routinely steps up close to 160 when fighting at 147.

    I expect him to step at close to 160 again.

    Mosley talked about this and not many people are putting enough attention into this fact.

      Cotto will have 2 hours affte the oficial weight in, to get rid off the 2 pounds,after that he will have to pay!

      The funny thing would be if Cotto comes at 145 and then Pac comes in at 147, that would be a real mess!

            pac won't come in at 147.

            he weighed in at 138 his last fight.

            at fight night he was 148 and that was with clothes and shoes on.

                team pac can complain and threaten to pull out of the fight. if cotto wants the payday he will have to comply

                    I think he will make the 145 but he won't be as strong if he were to come in at 146. they always say 1 pound makes a huge difference. I don't think hes been lighter than 146 for about 3 years
