Should there be an end to catch weights regarding PACMAN??

I've explained why it isn't a level playing field, and why they shouldn't be fighting. I won't go through it again.

 

common onepunch, it's only the weight they are trying to resolve here and maybe the purse but other than that, the negotiations are ok.

hypothetically if you are pac's promoter, wouldn't you want pac to fight cotto at a catch rather than at 147? honest answer please.

 

The weight classes are there for a reason. If Pac or anyone else wants to claim greatness they should be fighting there opponents in there respective division. Not trying to gain an advantage before a punch is thrown. If Cotto agrees to a catch weight then he deserves everything he gets. If Pac doesn't want to fight at 147 he should be going after the winner of Bradley v Campbell. But money talks.

 

Pac's camp has already stated where their limit is. Give it to the guy who started his career at 108. 147 is just too much. He doesn't need to fight in this class actually. He's already great as he is.

 

Point taken, but would you give Pac all the credit if he beats him? Do you think there will be no excuses on the part of Team Cotto, if he fights below his usual fight weight, and badly lose?

Would you give Pac the same credit if he beats him at 147 than beating him at a weight Cotto is no longer comfortable? I doubt it.

 

if team cotto accepts a catchweight, it means they can fight at the weight and should be no excuses. otherwise team cotto should not accept the fight at all. same thing with team pac here, if they agreed to a catchweight and lost, there should be no excuses that cotto was just too big.

 

Exactly. :goodAt this point, Pac already knows what his limit is. He can't risk possible disability or worse death at the tailend of his career. He has accomplished that much to assure his legacy. If others can fight in a catchweight, why can't he?

 

He will be given credit just the same because as boxing pundits say going up is as risky as going down especially Pac's already an overstretched fighter. Actually, he has no business fighting in 140, let alone 147.

 

Obviously, there should really be no excuses for Pac if he loses, because he is the one who proposed this catch weight match. It would be totally shameful if ever his team cried for excuses.

For Cotto, it is a money fight for him, a career pay day, so we can expect his team to try to accept the condition set forth by Pacquaio, however difficult it would be for them.

The thing here is, Pac can fight him at 147, since he already fought someone there before (Dela Hoya) but he is insisting for a catch weight fight. And he still wants the belt for this one.

He is challenging Cotto for the 147 belt, so why would he fight him below 147?

 

But he fought Oscar at 147, right?

 

Because he wants Cottos belt for a whatever title in a 7th weight class.

 

Don't you know that welterweight limit is 141 to 147? If it is sanctioned by the belt organization, why not? They can always agree whether the belt is at stake or not.

 

Yes please, catchweights are bull****. Pick a devision and fight in it.

 

these catchweight fights are actually favorable to haters, if either fighter wins they can throw all the excuses, so what's there to protest?.

a true boxing fan appreciates and gives credit, not bitching around like a bitter fat ass because of minor numerical details that's why we have negotiating tables to sort things out, what's the use of it if all we do is complain?.

let both parties sort these issues out before anything else FFS..

 

PAc won't fight Floyd because he can fight, jab, box and move. Pac used to hate fighting Marquez. Floyd loves those types of fights. Tell your boy to fight Cotto at 147 and stop acting like a *****. Your *** ass wouldn't even be a boxing fan if Pac never existed.
