But it was at a Catchweight no? 145lbs so Cotto was weight drained.

Yeah, he put a catchweight on Cotto. So what? He had one fight at welterweight and he just beat Hatton for the 140lb title. Cotto was the bigger man and he wanted a crack at Pacquiao. Given that Pacquiao was the bigger draw, he as the draw can make a few stipulations like ask Cotto to shed a few lbs....if Cotto didn't like it, he didn't have to sign the contract! But he did, he liked the contract, made the weight, fought like a champion and got the biggest pay day of his career.

Manny Pacquiao has put massive weight penalties on several opponents.

1.) Erik Morales, after struggling to make weight against Raheem in a one-sided loss, fought Pacquiao in a rematch at one weight division lower. Pacquiao put a massive weight penalty in the contract with an absurd fine if he came in a single lb over the limit. Morales killed his body to make weight, couldn't hydrate properly, and Pacquiao came in the ring bigger to add insult to injury.

2.) Manny Pacquiao put a weight penalty on Oscar De La Hoya. If he came in a single lb over the limit, he would be fined an absurd amount.

3.) Pacquiao forced Cotto to fight him at a catch-weight and forced him to put up his belt on line even after Cotto said he didn't want to since he wasn't allowed to weigh-in at his full limit.

The commission has it's own rules to punish anyone who fails to make weight. It is not a boxer's job to set the fine amounts. An example is below:

Manny Pacquiao, in 1999, around the same time Mayweather was dominating opponents such as Hernandez and Manfredy as the official champion, failed to make weight. Pacquiao lost his title on the scales and was penalized by the COMMISSION. Pacquiao was knocked out in the 3rd round by Singsurat despite having an unfair weight advantage.

Pacquiao has requested Mayweather wear 8oz gloves. This is only allowed by the commission if both fighters agree, as 10oz gloves are standard. Mayweather, showing his desire to get the fight signed, agreed to Pacquiao's demand.

Pacquiao then requested Mayweather be fined $10M if he weighs in a single lb over 147. This is the job of the commission, not Pacquiao, but Mayweather once again agreed.

Mayweather's only demand, was OSDT, which would be done to both of them, not just Pacquiao. This is allowable by the commission if both sides agree, just like Pacquiao's glove size demand. After initially agreeing, Pacquiao would change his mind and once again try to change the rules of an official organization, by requesting the USADA to change their standard rules and set cutoff dates which would render the random testing useless.

It's time Pacquiao stop trying to change the rules and let these organizations do their job. His behavior has been a total embarrassment to the sport of Boxing.

The weight penalty is fine by me.

If someone plans to come in higher than they should, they need to get fined big.

TBH it is more of a preventative (Hope that's a word) more than anything.

As for Cotto, I kind of agree on it for the belt.

Cotto had no trouble making it, but for the belt, it was sad.

Yup totally ok.....they arent fighting you douche bag

But it was at a Catchweight no? 145lbs so Cotto was weight drained.

So Cotto was 146 at the Clottey weigh in.

Was he weight drained then?

The truth is, Cotto's body never looked so good before.

But dude, did Pacquiao say it? Arum said it....he is both of their promoters, hes the one that's trying to make the **** happen. Pacquiao ain't even spoken about Cotto since he fought him.

[PensionKiller]

Ok cool just checking because if he beats Cotto for a MW title at a catweight again. That would be real cheap.
