WBO President: "If a fight is within the limit, it has to be for the title"

people on ESB don't understand this simple logic. As far as the WBO is concerned, the fight is below 147lbs. The 145lb catchweight is an agreement between the two fighters. The WBO is not concerned with this agreement as long as it doesn't conflict with their rules, which is that the fighters cannot weigh more than the WW limit.

 

thats explain everything...

and for those guys still crying and want pac to weigh 147 just STFU

 

Erm.....

If Pacquiao wants the title on the line, the limit should be 147lbs.

After all, the welterweight limit is 147lbs.

IMO - the WBO isn't a real title anyway, just ****ing vacate if necessary.

Why give Frank Warren loads of $$$ in fees?

 

GOD I hope Cotto Knocks Pacqauio out

 

I think most of us now this. Cotto will likely Vacate and let Pac pay the fees unless Arum steps in and pays.

 

If Cotto just doesn't wanna pay the fees, I can understand where he's coming from. But if Arum or Pac are willing to foot the bill, then Cotto has nothing to complain about really.

 

edit

 

Roach already offered to pay !!!!

 

He Will !!!!

 

OK, Mr.PR .....whats her name ? Damn !!!!!

 

Yea Roach said if Cotto Vacates the WBO They would pay the fee The WBO would just rank Pac number one contender, and have him fight for the vacated title regardless. If Cotto would win the belt would still remain vacant.

 

Say what??? NO

 

I am sorry I must have missed something...what does Frank Warren have to do with the WBO or this fight? :huh
