Comments Thread For: Cotto Denies $13 Million/Pacquiao Rumor, Blames Weight

Simple question Paqtards..

If the weight "doesn't matter" why do Roach and Pacquiao keep requesting this advantage?

[TheBoxingMaster]

Like Mayweather now can't plce a excuse to fight Pacman, I really don't know why always Pacman need a catchweight. Simply he want to fight Cotto, then dfo it at 154 and the fight happens. No one have a excuse.

Step right up Davis. Answer the question, straight up no BS (I'm sure you saw it but chose to ignore it).

If Pacquiao is a greater fighter, and beats Cotto at any weight, why request another catchweight?

Here, it's easy. Pac didn't wanna fight above 147 ever again after Marg. Nothing personal against Cotto, same rules for everyone. That's his 7th division, it's a world record anyway. They told Cotto he can have the fight if he wants it at 147, not a catchweight. Kinda like Ward Dawson, except for the 7th division part.

So Cotto then taunts him in the press, said 150+ or no fight. That's fair:

So Team Pac offers 150, Cotto remembers he's drained at 150 or whatever.

150 is not an advantage to Pac, we know he doesn't like it there at all. Remember him saying, never again this heavy?

Cotto on the other hand just requested to defend his own 154 belt at 150 last year, with a 160 rehydration clause. Ever heard of a champ asking to defend at a CW? I'm curious for real, has there ever been another champ pulling such a chicken **** move? How about against a non top 20 ranked one eyed wreck?

Cotto takes has taken on the best in his division numerous times give the guy a fair fight at a real weight class

a fight at 154 would be fair for cotto but wouldn't be fair for pacquiao given that he's small welterweight. fairness should apply to all parties involved. it isn't "fair" if it benefits one party and disadvantages the other.

147 fight would be unfair for cotto just as a 154 fight would unfair for pacquiao. a catchweight doesn't sound good, but in certain situations, it is the most "fair" approach.

Cotto feels comfortable at 154, it's his decision and he doesn't need manny. Manny needs him to be honest. Manny can come in light the contract doesn't say you HAVE to weigh 154 lbs. Mayweather was 151 on fight night proof of this. 13$ Mil .... you're kidding because pac doesn't even make that much what was cotto getting a bigger cut of the purse? Arum is just trying to spin his **** to make it look legit when everyone knows it's not. You don't request a CW with a guy you demolished already when you're "The best". Plain and simple facts.

cotto is ducking pacquiao cause he knows he has no chance of winning. remember when cotto said he is willing to meet at 150 lbs. after the margarito fight? what happened to that? just goes to show pacquiao is the most feared fighter in boxing.

Damn pacquiao is a true b1tch . Hope Marquez whips that one dimensional roided up midget again , take him out the picture so we could focus on mayweather vs Martinez

If what you say is true Tim Bradley is the most feared, cause pac just ducked him.
