Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale: WBC Chimes in on Catchweight Rumble

[PunchyPotorff]

The Queen Diva has spoken... or has he? It would be poetic justice if his backers order him to fight. Catchweight needs to go away anyway, but I hope Geale calls Cottoid's bluff. Pin his ears back and watch him squirm. I kinda doubt Geale would win even without the catchweight, but still, making Cottoid uncomfortable would be hilarious.

Geale should just come in at 160, the WBC would side with him. The WBC sees that Cotto is acting like a complete b*tch.

Hooked on Bonics....


Meanwhile, "About Benefits," is fighting Porter at 145!


Yeah but, we krunk in this bytch! We bout this lootin...


Fck outta here you city-burnin CNN extra.

He (Geale) signed a contract that he would make 157. No one forced him to do so, Cotto did against Pac but guess what happen when Team #48 ask for the rematch? Cotto said full weight or no fight and guess what? team #48 went somewhere else.

Another thing is Shaw said there is not penalty for Geale not making 157.

[RED REP]

I would have such a hard on if Geale weighs in at 160!!

Yes there is,, No fight

Everyone ask for CW some don't like it but it dies there. Cotto does it and the world is crumbling down. LOL

I smell Arum and others with their own agendas behind the curtains.

So what I've read from article is geale can pretty weigh in at 159-160 title will still be on the line and geale will get a little 10-25k fine for not meeting the contractual weight, also pushing cotton and roc nation in a corner would cotton call off fight nope roc nation won't allow it they have concerts and stuff they putting on for this event the lawyers who wrote up contract for cotton need to be fired for not putting in any language for if geale doesn't make weight to lose more of purse or such if cotto try's and take money from geale the Aussie can say no fight and mess up whole event I love cw backfired on cotton ass

It keeps getting brought up about Geale signing off on 157lbs. But what I want to know is why why was this fight only offered at a catchweight?

Golovkin didn't need a catchweight when he fought Geale

why does Cotto?

*and you'd think a sanctioning body would have the power to mandate title fights to be specifically for the divisional max, as yes 157 is a valid weight to compete for a Middleweight title

but at the same time, making 157 the MAX weight limit for Middleweight goes against the original definition of Middleweight (where you're allowed to weight up to 160lbs)

You know What???

Sanction bodies can do what they wan even eliminating CW for Title fights ...

BUT!!

All this has to be done before the contracts are sign because they were very much aware of all the fight details.
