You can stop somebody for re-hydration. There is no way you can make a fight weigh-himself on fight night. No commission will approve such a contract. And, there is no rules to weigh-in unofficially you can have full clothes, shoes whatever... That is something Pac haters made up.... But, whatever it takes to discredit Pac...

What made them need one for Cotto and not Clottey? Clottey arguably
beat Cotto and to me is better defensively and lil more technical than
Cotto. Either way I'm happy for Clottey and truly hope he wins because
he deserves this shot at Pacquiao and a big win, considering Arum has
done lil for him up until now.

I really wanna know why you would even take that claim serious, especially since the "wiggle room" turned out to be a 10million dollar penalty for anything over 147lbs. explain youre position.

You *******s are worst hipocrits than the *****s!
He LOOKED great, =for a photo=, but had trained away all his strength and athleticism.
About 6=7 days or so before the fight (correct me if I'm wrong on the amount of days) I read an interview from Oscar, in which, when asked about any weight problem, was very proud to reveal that he was already down to 143.5 lbs, after his daily training stint was over.
Sooooo.... whilst he WAS under 147, it wasn't a good, healthy 147.

Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostManny Pacquiao's defense of the WBO welterweight title against Joshua Clottey will not involve a catch-weight. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum told the Manila Bulletin that Pacquiao-Clottey will have no weight stipulations. The fight will be Pacquiao's third at welterweight. He fought and stopped Oscar De La Hoya in 2008. He moved down to 140 to knock Ricky Hatton out last May and then returned to welterweight in November to win the title from Miguel Cotto but there was a catch-weight of 145. With all of the catch-weight fights in the sport, it's refreshing to see a title being defended at the actual division limit. [Click Here To Read More]
Of-course no catch weight is needed.When your fighting a fighter that keeps himself covered up and make you play guessing games on when is he gonna throw a punch, no catchweight is needed.
And when you combine that with roid usage and Pac uncles judging the fight,its a guaranteed win for Pac.

Originally posted by M.I.C. View PostCan somebody explain why Arum, almost in a panic, rushed to sign another fight? Everyday he declared May-Pac off, he never wanted to put Pac in with May, Clottey aint no money maker, makes no sense!
I would think that, since Arum has a promotional responsibility to both fighters, to provide them with good fight paydays, it was obligatory for him to "nail down" a proper opponent, and, in this case, having both fighters under contract, he was doing his duty towards them both.
