Why Is The Pac/Cotto Weigh- In So Late?

[DrewWoodside]

It's at 6pm. Don't they usually do these a little earlier?

It's 6pm which means it's 2pm in Nevada. Which is the typical time for a weigh in, the afternoon.

To give Cotto less time to rehydrate and weaken him in the process.Manny is a fraud and the earlier he gets knocked out the better

surely the WBO/WBC or whoever (Commission) sets the weigh in time?!

how can Pac's team demand when the weigh in is?

I'm not sure but I know it's usually earlier in the day.

Weigh in's are at 12:00 Noon Est time, which makes it 9:00 AM in Vegas.

Stop getting your panties in a bunch because some poster claimed weigh ins were at 6pm

"Meanwhile, Coach Joe Santiago, expressed his dissatisfaction with the time of weighing, which will be at 3:00 pm Las Vegas."

roach got the belt, he got the catch-weight and he's bitching about low blows like he's going to bear Pacquiao's next child and now he's angling for a late weigh in. You could be right and this could all be unfounded speculation; but that's not what I think.

Plus you've got to think even if it ends up having no physical bearing, it's got to **** with team Cotto and Miguel to speculate on what they are doing, and his physco may be ****ed thinking that now he's at a disadvantage because he has less time to recover.

6PM Eastern time as per hbo.com its usually earlier than that. I believe that makes it 3PM Las Vegas time.
