    Thw WBX plan to institute the "Diamond Belt" for elite fighters at catchweights...they should just call this the Pacquiao Belt instead of the Diamond Belt...I hope Cotto Doesnt agree to this cuz this is just crazy....they should just fight for the WBO or dont fight at all...plus its two reasons this wont work

    1 There would have to be more than one "Diamond Belt"

    2 If Cotto wins there isnt a catchweight fight out there for him

    NICE...LOL...I was thinking Pacquiao should just make a fake belt ala Sean O'Grady, and fight Cotto for it, since people care so much about a strap.

    These guys have no shame. I wish the promoters and the networks would band together to form a cartel and get rid of these assholes. They haven't done a single good thing for this sport.

    How can they even sanction the fight when they are not even invloved?

    They found a way to get themselves involved; inventing a belt. Words can't accurately describe how absurd this is.

    Why is it that they wouldn't put that up for the Mayweather-JMM fight?? I guess they are inventing a belt for Pac or some ****!

    Is Pac approving this shite? I know Cotto won't go for it, I am sure.

    It's on the site that has news about fights - which is as good as confirmed unless it's an amazing hoax.
