    The Pacquiao camp didn't the WBO is the one who said that the title would be on the line because they didn't want to miss out on the huge sanctioning fee.

      I love how oscar de la hoya challenged bernard hopkins for hopkins MW titles and made him weigh in at 158.

      It's obviously about money/popularity. If cotto was as big as pacquiao and pacquiao was only as big as cotto, obviously the tables would be turned.

        cotto was using the belt as a bargaining chip to get more money. when team pac put up the money, cotto was more than happy to put the belt on the line.

            Cotto wanted the fight at 147, Pacquiao wanted it at 142, they met at 145 but Cotto initially complained that he won at 147 and it should be at 147. You're acting like Cotto happily offered to fight at 145.

            You have no problem giving your opinions in Mayweather vs Castillo threads which are 10 years late.

                  Yeah they forced Cotto to accept his highest ever payday. Poor Cotto

                      Yeah and Oscar got his liver busted, Paul Williams tried the same thing- Sergio at 158 for his LINEAL MW crown, got his chin cracked in 2 rounds. But Cotto losing one lb made a world of difference? (not saying you said that btw, just generalizing)
