Cotto Doesn't Want Title On The Line Vs Pacman

thats sucks...he must not be confident

 

sounds like he already thinks that he will loose.... Is he just fighting for money? thats bad

 

Or he's trying to get pacman to man up and forget about the stupid catchweight.

 

we don't want your fricken titles. -we want your life! manny have mercy on his soul !!!!! (shout out Kush)

 

Fear or thoughts that he will lose has nothing to do with it. Cotto's lawyer knows that this is a bargaining tool, and he and Cotto are simply utlizing it. It is very common to not put the title on the line when a catchweight is involved. Pacquaio would not fight at the WW limit, so in Cotto's mind, it is only fair that they still fight, but not put the belt on the line. Plus, the article said that Cotto wants more money. He is going to use this to negotiate with Arum for a bigger purse.

I personally believe that if fighters agree to catchweights, so be it. I just want to watch a good fight. At the same time, I believe that the belt only be on the line if they fight at the established weight limits for the division. It is not fair for Manny to take the belt from a WW who has agreed to a catchweight when other real WW fighters did not have that same opportunity. This will result in the WW belt being held by somebody who won't fight above 145, and a bunch of WW fighters who do not get the opportunity to fight for the belt because they can't come below 147 when that is the actual limit for the division. These things can get very messy, so screw it, leave the belts out of it and put on a good show.

 

Smart move. You want the title, come to 147.

 

Doesn't really matter to us boxing fans we just want WAR. go cotto go pac

 

If it's true then smart move on Cotto part. If Pacquiao wants to fight a ww then fight a ww at the ww limit.

 

Who's that in your avatar?

 

Hey its either 145Lbs no tittle or go fight freaking Mosley. Or otherwise let Cotto fight at 147!

 

Nothing wrong with that. I love Pac but if he isn't fighting within the freedom of the full 147 pound welter limit then he shouldn't be fighting for a belt.

 

:rofl Eva Angelina. Let me guess you don't know who she is? Whatelse is new.

 

Why would Cotto care if he thought he was gonna win???....BECAUSE HE KNOWS HIS ASS IS GONNA LOSE AND DONT WANT THE TITLE TO GO TOO. Smart if you ask me....

 

He might be using that belt as leverage to get more dough out of the deal. But i don't blame him, Now if the fight was at 147 that's another story.
