    **** the 2lb & **** the $2M fine, give pac the $2M, Cotto will now come in at 147 for sure, why possibly risk yer carear over $2M when yer can get yerself 100% & give yerself yer best chance of winning:smoke

    Ray Leonard pulled these strokes everytime he made a comeback, he did it 2 Duran back in 89, with a penalty of $1million for every ****in OUNCE that Duran weighed over 160 when the contract weight was 162 so allways read the invisible ink at the bottom of the contract:smoke

    I gotcha - better to pay the fine and keep the weight; as opposed to killing your body to come down.

    What ever is in the contract is fine with me. It's not an issue to be concern about.

    Th only problem is Pac can cancel because he came over, and he'll still be fined the $$.

    :lol::lol:

    Well if you sign to fight for 145 you should come in at that weight! Pac did it to oscar so why not Cotto. If you dont think you can make the weight dont sign the fight!!! :good

    Its the same demand...

    you say it like its an additional demand, it isn't. The penalty is the whole point of the catchweight


    Without the fine there will just be a catchweight and then if Cotto doesn't make it... nothing happens? That would be dumb. There's too much money on the line to cancel the fight. The penalty is the only thing that makes sense regarding the catchweight. Its always been like that, thats the whole point of a catchweight..

    Thats why I think the title should be on the line in this fight. Because technically Cotto is allowed to come in at 147 if he wants to. He can just pay the $$ if he wants to have that extra advantage.

    It is absolute b.s. what he is doing. He came in at 148 1/2 against Oscar. Manny is getting away with murder with this catchweight b.s. He wants all the advantages. Oscar never had a chance against him. Now he is doing the same thing with Cotto.

    My mistake. I'm thinking of the third fight where they didn't even fight and Castillo still got hit for a fine in the millions.

    If Cotto's seriously "drained" at 145 (I don't think he will be), he might as well just pay the 2 million to come in at 147 if it gives him a better chance to win.
