HBO won't accept a last second scrub. Cotto's practice of fighting opponents who are impaired might backfire on Saturday.

Just wow...

Hbo have to do it Cotto is a big pay day!

[IMDAZED]

lol replacements for another date right? another date that costs money, man hours and negotiations lol

Cotto got himself into a mess if there isn't any sort of punishment for coming in overweight except a threat to pull out of the fight.

Then again, all this bs is giving the fight more attention than it deserves so, market strategy?

No punishment if Geale doesn't make weight? I'd be surprised if he still got his purse.

I'm going to wait to see how this plays out. Worse case scenario, there's a second weigh-in. Looks like there is a strong chance one of them comes in with a major advantage. Cotto if Geale is drained. And Geale if he circumvents the catchweight and comes in healthy.

Isn't there a rule that u get stripped of ur title if u don't defend it for more than a year or something against someone that the sanctioning body approves? If Geale pulls out Cotto has to find someone that the sanctioning body approves so that it counts as a title defense, not any bum off the street.

But it'd be a bad move from Geale, I mean they signed the contract and agreed to the conditions, y did they do that if they didn't want to make the contracted weight? ah, the PAYDAY!

They have Sam Soliman waiting in the wings with his bad knees.
