Where were you guys when Team Pac and the Diamond Belt Fiasco took place.

[B u r n e r]

For one fight remember.

A Catch-weight Title because Cotto didn't want to put his 147 Pound belt on the line if he had to fight at 145lbs.


"WBC Diamond Belt, WOW"

By Manuel Perez:

Just when I thought boxing couldn’t get any lower than it is, I get this news today about the World Boxing Council creating a new belt called the ‘WBC Diamond Championship” belt, one designed specifically for elite fighters in catch weight bouts. The timing of the creation of the belt appears comes right at the time when World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao are mired in a tug of war about whether their November 14th bout should be for the title or not.


Pacquiao wants Cotto’s title on the line, but he’s not willing to fight Cotto at the 147 pound limit for the class. Cotto doesn’t want to put his title on the line because the bout is being held at a 145 pound catch weight, and thinks it’s not right that he should have to put his title on the line in this case.


Where was the talk of Mannys pride? Rules being changed? All that crap where was it?

[ИATAS]

the WBC is a joke, so what? we knew that. Jose Sulaiman is one of the biggest douchebags in boxing

[-MAKAVELLI-]

OH NO!!!!

how DARE pacquaio force cotto to lose weight a whopping ONE pound less than he did against clottey?!?!?!?



has this even happened before? has ANY fighter had the GALL to ask for a catchweight fight?!?!?


what a puss...why does he need a catchweight?? he's been a welterweight for years now right?

[ИATAS]

So that makes it right?

who fuucking cares at this point? Cotto weighed 146 against clottey, 145 against pac. this **** was discussed to death during the time, no need to relive the one pound argument again.

[street bully]

Pacquaio would destroy Cotto at any weight.

I was there.

Rules being changed? Do you remember Mayweather changed the contract after he scales higher on signed weight contract? 144lbs to 146lbs.

Marquez was Lightweight who will be moving to WW????????????? hmmmm im still thinking..:wt:

[Atreyu Khalil]

Where were you when floyd made a SF come up to WW?? and cheated on the scales..

actually Marquez was a light weight 135lbs when he moved up to fight Mayweather ...

try again

[josenoway]

lol, you guys completely avoid the question and just start rambling about the WBC being a joke, and Floyd did this, Floyd did that.

The question was: If Manny is all about pride, why wasn't he too proud to ask Miguel to come down to 143 (eventually 145) and put his 147 belt on the line?

Don't tell me that if Floyd fought one of the 154 belt holders and asked them to come down to 150, with penalties for every pound over, that you *******s wouldn't be on his ass like white on rice.
