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

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Is this surprising? Pac and his camp are frauds.

Hmm...at no point has Cotto ever said that the catchweight was the reason for his loss. He said he didn't want to give up any more advantages to Pacquiao. Is a catchweight not an advantage for the person requesting it? Who has to do the added work to get down those four pounds? Surely not Manny. Why ask for another catchweight when you already destroyed the dude. And I'm sure he wanted 8oz gloves too.

And so he asked for a catchweight with Margarito...boo-****ing-hoo. Margarito is lucky that Cotto even allowed him the chance to make some retirement money. The guy is lucky he wasn't permabanned for putting concrete in his fists. Notice that Cotto only tried to play weight games with a guy he hates. A fact that flies over the head of many. He holds considerable pull over the likes of fighters like Trout, and doesn't play those weight games, just the one guy who most likely cheated. In what was a fair playground, Cotto pitched a 9-0 shutout.

Manny just looks like a b*tch in this case, catchweights make or break fights with Pacquiao. Cotto tried, then settled and then whupped that ass. Pacquiao is fighting a 40 year old on the downslide, Cotto is fighting a man on the upside. The public is catching on to the con game right now, booed two fights ago, generated less than a millie in PPV buys his last fight and forcing people he already beat into added stipulations.

War Cotto, beat Trout and go for another big money fight and call it a day win or lose

Excellent post. The bold really enforces common logic.

It's simple PAC does not want to fight a 154 pound cotto he wants to fight a 150 pound cotto, we r talking about 4 pounds fighter of the decade, the legit weight is 154, now think about that for a second who is wrong. That's the bottom line!

Keep Floyd's **** to yourself. This thread has nothing to do with him. I dont like catchweights either but Miguel shouldn't be crying when he asked for exactly the same thing from Margarito. End of story.

Cotto isn't crying, he isn't blaming the Pac loss on the weight loss, so I don't know where you getting those assumptions from, he just saying he doesn't want to do a catchweight against Pac, he did it once and he learned from it, that's all.

For 13 millions...? i fight the Klitschkos brothers same night **** that man ..Cotto if you refuse 13 millions you are ******

He has made very good money in boxing already, some fighter don't just fight for money but for pride which some fighters have forgotten. Cotto is set financially already.

Why ask for a catchweight and rehydration clause when the only reason the guy beat you was tampered hand wraps?

wtf???man kill that gay stuff

[puga]

just call a spade a spade..if floyd can fight him at 154 with 10 oz gloves why cant manny??why does he need to catchweight cotto every damn time?

simple ..becuase floyd is bigger than manny ...unless floyd fights at his 8th weightlcass or even 7th weighclass without asking for a catchweight then you'd have a point..
