    This is all ridiculous, theyre trying to make Cotto put too much focus on making weight. Cotto is going to be a problem for Pacquiao, count on it.

    Yeah it's true.

    It's also standard practice.

    It's also a huge amount of money.

    It's also a detail that will be agreed upon or not in the contract between the two fighters.

    Catchweight fights are NORMAL. Fines for overearching are NORMAL.

    we'll that would somehow prevent fighter from weighing more than what is contracted that might result to fight cancellation.

    They should word it correctly.
    "Team Pacquiao" wants Miguel Cotto fined a million dollars for every pound he is overweight.

    I doubt Manny the fighter gives a ****...
    (Until I hear different, Pac has no fear)

    So what if its true, its insurance if Cotto comes in over weight, Pacman can back out of the fight and still get paid.

    If Cotto comes in overweight, what is Pacman going to do, fight above the agreed weight limit in order to get paid?

    Cotto can make weight. It's a non-issue.

    This is all bs, if manny wants to fight for the welterweight title it should be on cotto's terms. Last time i checked cotto is the champ not manny. And how can they justify this being a welterweight title fight if they are fighting at a catch weight

    the commission and sanctioning body made the rules. You just don't understand them.

    According to those rules, the title can be on the line.
