does anyone else remember when Morales was trying to get their 3rd fight at 132, but PacMan and his team said, "No." They wanted the fight at 130. So isn't it bull**** that PacMan now insists he wants certain fighters at certain weights?
He agreed to what cotto wanted(i read yesterday)...so whats the deal? Morales got the gloves he demanded too.
Morales got the glove demand in the first fight... the rematch was only pac's second fight at 130 he was smaller than morales. cotto wanted to fight pac @ 145 it was his term!
Morales could say no, but he opted to exercise his rematch clause and he aint complaining and give props to Pac. It never became a big deal.
Exactly, it was Morales who chose to exercise the rematch clause, he didn't have to agree to the terms.
not only was 145 cottos terms but he just weighted in @ 146 against clottey. WTF is the big deal? :roll: you cocksuckers should just be happy that the fight is official and going down.
Uhhhh... 132 is the catchweight. and Erik was the one asking for it. Cotto asks for a payday at a catch of 145, Pac agrees. I really don't get the thread title?:think
The deal is this requesting fighters to come in at a certain weight ain't new to pacman, he's been doing this **** for a while now. Let me correct that freddie Roach has .
Cottos terms are 147. He knew Pac wouldnt agree to that. Hell he barely agreed to 145. He threw the fight in doubt trying to get it at 143.
if cotto or whoever cant make weight....then maybe they should fight guys 2 divisions heavier than they are so they wont have to worry about it...pac was a super featherweight 2 years ago....
EVERY fighter in history asks to fight at a certain weight. That's one of the things they negotiate about. Could the forum-people think for a while before over-reacting? A trainer recommends an optimal fighting weight to his pupil. the boxer follows the advice. He lays his terms on the table, the other team does the same thing. they negotiate, agree to terms, then sign. Nobody is pointing a goddamn gun at anybody's head.
He came up to fight ledwaba @ 122 He came up to fight barrera @ 126 He came up to fight morales @ 130 he came up to fight diaz @ 135 oscar ask him to come up 2 divisions to fight him @ 147 he came up to fight hatton who was the undefeated champ @ 140 he fought at cotto's term @ 145 :yep And oh! morales was the one who wanted catchweight. atsch know your facts newb! :yep
