    Its not like the WBO will strip Cotto, as long as he's under 147... and its not like Pacquiao will pull out of the fight when he has a 12million$ guarantee.

    So Cotto can just wegih-in at 146 or 147, pay the penalty, and fight at his comfortable weight. I mean if he wants to have such a big size advantage thats fine but he should pay the price in terms of purse split..

    Cotto won't play that kind of a game. He's too much of a warrior.

    To be honest I would come in over 145 but under 147. He really has nothin 2 lose by doin this, the fight will go on and win or lose he keeps his belt. So why not ?

    or it can be on more fair terms, at a catchweight of 145.

    Too late, Pac asked for 143, and got 145. It's in the contract. Why would a man accept being penalized, when he shouldn't even be penalized for anything in the first place? Your hero shouldn't have asked for 143 period Ph|LLA

    Exactly. *******s have no answers when posters post this response. They don't even post footage of PAc's two early ko losses.

    Why does everyone make such a big fuss about this catchweight, when nobody seems to even give a **** about the catchweight for Mayweather-Marquez?

    Can't Pac's team call the fight off if something like this happens? I know they won't(too much money), but can they do it if they feel like it?
