UPDATE: Finally Cotto’s title on the line vs Pacquiao

I'm pretty sure Pac just take the money and skip out on the fight. He would probably either have to take the money and fight, or not collect the fine and not fight. Given that there is a stipulation in the event that Cotto comes in overweight, Pac would be in breech of the contract and would open to all sorts of lawsuits.

 

The WBO has no rules that state that a WW fight can't take place at a maximum weight of 145lbs.

 

Cotto says he has no problem making 145. He's the one who suggested the weight. Why would he come in over that weight and have to fork over at least $1,000,000 to Pac? I think Pac would actually be happy if this happened.

 

I don't know why there's so much fuss about this. It's only the WBO title, not a genuine world championship.

 

:yep:yep:yep:yep

 

That was my original thought too, but 1 mil per pound is a lot of money...

 

Yeah and if he lost not only he lose his precious title, he lost 2$m. That's really smart.

 

Whatever nation of origin you are, you are an embarassment to it for your IGNORANCE. You don't know **** about the country and the people you are insulting. Your HATRED is killing you and I'm enjoying every second of it. PLEASE DIE! **** YOU whoever you are! :nono

 

So if Pacman wins can he continue to defend this title at whatever weight he wants?

Nothing to stop him turning it in to a 141lb limit division.

 

like I was saying, nothing prevents Cotto from coming in at 147lbs. He can just do it and fork over the 2M.$ which is normal since he will have a massive size advantage. The title would not get stripped.

 

This article was published Aug 09. Later news was agreed for a diamond belt for the winner of the fight. I believe this is old news and have changed since.
