Why would Pacquiao need a catchweight to fight himself? I don’t know…, that’s odd.

Trent,Good point.You actually made me think of shoteming else while reading your comment.I believe the only downside to your theory is that if Mayweather Sr. is just trying to help out boxing and help sell the Mosley vs. Pacquiao fight, then he would be doing his own son a disservice.Think about it .if Mosley vs. Pacquiao competes or even does better numbers than Mosley vs. Mayweather did, then it will appear that Pacquiao is now the bigger PPV draw. When and if Mayeather vs. Pacquiao happens, Mayweather would have no logical reason asking for a 60/40 purse split in his favor without it seeming like he’s ducking Pacquiao.On the other hand, maybe you’re right and Mayweather Sr. IS trying to sell the fight so that if and when Mayweather vs. Pacquiao finally happens, the purse that Mayweather Jr. will earn, whatever the split, should be even THAT much bigger!It makes you wonder . +1

p

the “fact” is cotto weighed 154 pounds at the pre-fight weigh in.that’s 4 more pounds than he was allowed to weigh on fight night against pac due to the “re-hydration clause” and 9 pounds heavier than the official 145 pound catch weight.furthermore,there wasn’t a re-hydration clause for the mayweather fight so cotto was allowed to put as much weight on as he wanted post weigh-in.ortiz,was 164 against mayweather on fight night.cotto was clearly heavier than ortiz.I’d guess 166 or so.mayweather was 151 and reportedly lost weight due to being under the weather.

If Pacman is better than floyd,why does Pacman need at catch weight?Floyd said he wanted Coto at his best.I think Pacman was on something,but if you look at his last two fights he does not have the same energy level.Maybe he has gotten clean so he can take the radom drug test to fight Floyd.Pacman should fight cotto the same way floyd did.Is Pacman next fight taking place in November, 3months out, why not floyd?

@dizzkid and @yard, Since you didn’t get my points because you are slow learners, you need to go back and read my comments.

Take these:
1) Cotto himself got beat up so badly by Pacquioa and he has internal fear of Pacquioa. Cotto fight Pacquioa again. Also, his family won’t let him fight Pacquioa again even at 154 pounds. Period.

2) Who are riding floyd’s nuts? You both.

3) Floyd-Marquez fight was a CATCH WEIGHT, AND FLOYD STILL CHEATED WITH 4 POUNDS OVER THE LIMIT.

@englishdunked its up to Pac what he comes in at but Cotto shoudl be able to fight at his weight, Look Floyd came in at 147 and still made light work of Cotto at 154lb.

Thing is Pac dont take chances like people seem to think he does hes had an easy ride, thanks to Arum and Roach

Posted August 7, 2012

Pacman needed the catch weight a few years ago because his was a small welterweight. But now no more catch weights are needed to fight within the junior middleweight division. Pacman weighed @ 147 lbs by choice during his last fight. I’m confident that he will be able to gain an extra 3 lbs to 150lbs before the weigh in and then hydrate to 152lbs on fight night.

He will still have a speed advantage against his opponents especially if they weight in @ 154 and hydrate to 164 on fight night. If Mayweather can handle fighting a larger opponent Pacman should be able to deal with it too.

However fighting a larger opponent with true hand speed and huge punching output & power can become a real problem for Manny.

Posted August 7, 2012 

englishdunked

erm let me look at this situation here why is it fair for Pacman to move up that far in weight but it isn’t fair for cotto to move down in weight? Cotto is the one on the outside looking in and if given this fight it’s a bonus to him cause he hasn’t really earned it after losing to Pacquio and Mayweather so to me he has no bark in this fight . meeting in the middle seems fair enough

If you need an honest answer you have to be able to accept it. But I doubt that as you seem to think Pac has never been an elite fighter LMAO Barrera, Morrales, Marquez, Hatton and Cotto plus his demolition of Bradley.
Pac has won 8 weight divisions and hit the wall at 150 which he said he would not fight at again. What more do you want from a guy of his size?? to fight at heavy weight

the question is why does pacquiao still need catch weights? i would love to get an honest answer from a pacquiao fan. i mean i really like manny as a person but as a fighter he has never in my eyes been an elite fighter. due to the drama behind his fights. never heads up.

and arum has killed this guy and robbed him at the same time. sorry manny your time is up. oh by the way he will fight floyd mayweather within a year guaranteed. there is no other money option for bob arum.

This would actually be a great fight! I’m not a fan of pacmans’s catchweights but at the same time, he is smaller than mayweather, margo and cotto so it makes sense that he fights at 150. Anyway, Arum is just using catchweights to fire the debate and hype the fight as usual.

I agree completely with the article, they should do away with catch weights completely. I’m not a FMJ fan but when he fought Cotto they fought at his weight class (154), and that enhance his legacy even further. Floyds’ a natural welter so instead of demanding a catchweight he just came in weighing 150lbs. somewhere he was comfortable. In my opinion, pacquiao should fight Cotto at 154 and just come in where he’s comfortable. Having manny fight Cotto at a catchweight at 150 just makes manny look scared, and gives people a reason to delegitimize his career.

Pactards: How do you think a fight with Floyd vs Cotto would go if Cotto was forced to cut down to 145 like he was for Pac?

Even Bradley has more balls than Pac. He is a 140lber, but offered to fight Cotto at 154. So did the Ghost (Guerrero). Pac is looking like a chick these days, avoiding Mayweather and still begging for catch weights. Might as well be safe and fight the 40 yr old JMM so judges can fix it again.

Posted August 6, 2012 

Jab

I believe Mayweather weighed 151 pounds against Cottot not 154. As for Pacquiao, he publicly stated that he would stay at 147. So I don’t understand why Arum would think Pacquiao would consider fighting at 150.

More significant to the sport of boxing, is the newly formed promotional company by Mayweather and 50 cents. Why isn’t there any speculation about this venture?

Also, with all the mind games about Mayweather deteriorating because he couldn’t eat the food or excersies, he looked pretty good when released from jail!

Anonymous u sound like a fool cotto should be brave enough , first off when it comes to dawson and ward , dawsons coming down to fight at an official weight class 168 pds wtf is 150 non existing , made up class and since pacman already beat cotto already pretty bad shouldn’t pac be the brave one and fight cotto at a weight class where cotto’s at his best not weight drained like when mayweather fought him he fought him with no advantage , and at this point cotto has many options he could fight a rematch with mayweather , fight canelo he really doesn’t need pac and pac doesn’t have to many options fighting cotto at cotto’s weight makes it interesting draining him doesn’t. If not cotto who jmm 5 that’s getting tried bradley borning , mayweather best choice but pacman doesn’t seem to want it , if u ask me pacman is the coward fighting pretty much everyone with names at a draining condition not at their best fighting for titles not at the official weight but at his made up weight class now that’s a bs way to win a title weaking a fighter using a lame excuse like am a smaller man if u feel like u too small then don’t fight punk

Chris Williams you really hate pacman why? i don’t understand how people can hate fighter so much that they forget to be reasonable, you have your floyd haters who would not listen to facts or give credit to floyd for anything and then you have your manny haters who like you would look for anything even if is stupid to make pacman look like a cheater, floy fought overweight when he fought marquez and he didn’t fight with marquez at 140 ( i think it would have been a better fight) but you seem to not be ok with it as long as is not pacman. if you ask me a neutral opinion i don’t find anything wrong with it 150 is a good weight for both fighters cotto use to fight at 147 now 154 so is in the middle pacman has a hard time going over 147 so his probably going to be under 150 for the weight-in just like it happen with Margarito so i don’t see any problem with this fight being at 150, i know that a lot of you floyd fans would disagree but i don’t really care because even if the fight happens at 154 you guys would still find something to complain about… just for the record I’m not interested in this fight happening.

If Chad Dawson can come down from 178 lbs. to 168 lbs. (a 10 lb. difference) to face Andre Ward, then Miguel Cotto should be brave enough to come down from 154 lbs. to 150 lbs. (just 4 lbs.), if Cotto wants this fight, and agrees to this!

IF ANYONE TRULY DEFEATS MANNY PACQUIAO ON THE RING, THERE IS AN UPROAR WORLDWIDE AND UNYIELDING PRAISE. MY QUESTION IS: WHY THERE IS NONE AND ALMOST EVERYBODY IS SILENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FEW WHO DISLIKE MANNY PACQUIAO. SOMETIMES COMMON SENSE MAKES SENSE, ISN’T IT?

Manny is a smaller guy. Cotto is a bigger guy. They meet in the middle again, this time Cotto is closer to his natural weight, and Manny is further out of his comfort zone than he ought to be fighting at.

Same as when he fought Margarito.

Manny could never come in at a full 154 on fight night (probably won’t hit 150 either), which is the OPPOSITE of using PED’s; If he was freely taking hGH or steroids, it would be much easier to get to a bigger weight.

Am I wrong?

MANNY PACQUIAO DID NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DECISION WHEN HE WAS DEFEATED BY JUDGES DECISION AGAINST TIMOTHY BRADLEY KNOWING THAT HE CAN EASILY REDEEM HIS LOST PRESTIGUE AND VALOR.

ASK ALL PREVIOUS CHAMPIONS INCLUDING LENOX LEWIS, SUGAR RAY LEONARD, WINKY WRIGHT, LARRY HOLMES, EVANDER HOLYFIELD AND LOT MORE INCLUDING DEFEATED EX-CHAMPION BEATEN BY MANNY WHO IS THE MOST EXCITING FIGHTER TO THIS DATE. THEY HAVE ONE COMMON VOICE: IT IS “MANNY PACQUIAO”

Posted August 6, 2012 

WTF!!!!!!!!

Chris is just trying to make a argument for Mayweather ! Floyd is going up in weight and to keep everyone from saying Floyd is running to a higher weight – which he is ?? He is starting to promote why can’t this guy that is naturally smaller “Manny” just keep going up until Floyd feels comfortable and say OK I have enough reasons and advantages to finally fight him ! This BS is getting old ! Floyd I’m a American and I say your a coward – period ! If Manny again does what you couldn’t against Cotto your running ! SAD !!

YOU SEE IF MANNY PACQUIAO IS TRULY DEFEATED BY TIMOTHY BRADLEY, WHY IS IT THAT MANNY PACQUIAO BOXING WORLD STATUS STILL REMAINS THE SAME TO THIS DATE? HE IS STILL A HOT COMMODITY. WAKE UP YOUR MIND MATES.

EVEN TIMOTHY BRADLEY DOESN’T KNOW HE WON THE FIGHT AGAINST MANNY PACQUIAO. HE KEPT SAYING: “IT IS NOT HIS FAULT”. WHAT IS THAT MEAN TO YOU?

ANY OPPONENT WHO FIGHTS MANNY PACQUIAO WOULD MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY. MANY BOXERS ARE INTERESTED BECAUSE OF IT AND SOME ARE SCARED INCLUDING FLOYD MAYWEATHER WHO MAKES TON OF EXCUSES NOT TO MAKE THE FIGHT HAPPENED.

the real boxing fan

dumb writer,why did oscar imposed catchweight during his carrer?to even the playing field…it would be an outright mismatch when the weight difference during fight is about 30 to 35 pounds!
specially if the natural weight of one of the fighter is at weight limit!

Muddogg

It’s a NON title fight people!! Catch weights r normal in non title fight!! So why is everyone complaining!

Posted August 6, 2012 

mark.

because pacquiao cant go up anymore. he is an 8 weight champion. at least when he has a catchweight he sticks to it. mayweather doesnt.

Posted August 6, 2012 

BOXER-PUNCHER

Let’s get something straight KO! First of all Pacman hasn’t “KO”d anyone since Ricky Hatton! So dismiss your nonsense about pacman knocking out all future opponents and be real! 147 fighters are different than the lighter weight classes for pacman to KO unless he weight drains them with his famous catchweights! And if pacman is so good that he can beat cotto at any weight class, why doesn’t he fight him right at 154 like Mayweather did? Instead of trying to weight drain Cotto down to a catchweight of 150 again…..

Posted August 6, 2012 

pactards r retards

Regardless of who won between pac v Bradley the fact is officially pac lost and that loss left him with no belt and a career that is rapidly declining. He has lost credibility since all the marQuez fights. His best come back will be to accept whatever pennies mayweather offers him and hope to win the fight. Then he can demand whatever he wants right now he has no belt and very little relevance.

@ko…. if what you say is true then why does manny need a catchweight. then why not face him at 154 pounds like floyd did<<<<< just a bunch of rambling like always with no intelegent point as usual.

Dr. Aki Bola, Esq.

Because he is at most a 147 fighter but he has cleaned out the division except for Mayweather. I have no problem with catchweights, there is nothing magical about 147 or 154, they are just random numbers with no significance. Why not 146 and 156?

However, if the governing bodies say if it is a catchweight, it can not be a title fight, that is fair also.

Posted August 6, 2012 

Hector Gonzalez

if Pacquiao came in at 147 and Cotto at 150. Pacquiao would still KO cotto, you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

ARUM CAN NEVER CONVINCE COTTO TO THE ENTER THE LAND OF THE KING DRAGON AGAIN. THE FIRST BRUTAL BEATING HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL STAY WITH COTTO FOR HIS LIFETIME. FLOYD MAYCOWARD DOES NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT COTTO HAS EXPERIENCED.

FLOYD IS SO SCARED TO GET KNOCKED OUT BY MANNY PACQUIOA SO HE WILL COME UP WITH ANOTHER EXCUSE SOON. MARK MY WORDS.

What the whole point for a Pacquiao Vs Cotto II is just gonna b the same… Because Manny is to fast for Cotto! 154 i still think Manny will stop Cotto again.

Posted August 6, 2012 

john

there should also be a huge asterick next to his fight against margarito where the 154 pound title was at stake and pac fought as a welterweight while also making margarito go down in weight,in other words he fought for the title at the 154 pound class but didn’t have to weigh like a jr middleweight instead fought as a welterweight,that there is a joke of a fight and a ridiculous way to fight for a title,huge asterick right there..*********

Nothing wrong with it. Bob Arum is smart; he set Manny up for success and made them both tons of money.

Fight cotto at the weight,or fight some fu#ker else ! Maybe
Arum can rig the fight with Jmm again

Posted August 6, 2012

Because Pacman is the catchweight King. Who knows what would’ve happened had Cotto fought with a trainer in his corner and at his full welterweight. Top rank deserves a lot of credit as they made Pacquiao and set him up for success.

to the writer and haters .. if you are all sick and tired of Pacquiao, why all the write-ups, comments and rantings?

Are you not tired? just keep on ranting as if you have a say in what happens in the boxing world .. guess what? NADA … ZILCH .. ZERO .. LOSERS …

Pacquiao-Cotto I: WBO Welterweight(147lb)title; Catchweight;145
Pacquiao-Cottp II: (Pending); No title, at Jr.Middleweight(154lbs); Catchweight;150lbs.
Your guess is as good as mine Chris!

Posted August 6, 2012 

Ricardo

if Pacquiao is so good why would he need a catch weight? in the first fight of Pac vs Cotto, Pac drained Cotto to bad now he wants to do it again. I think he should man up and fight at the weight class and be a true champ. if the little boy cant make weight then turn in the belt. oh and BTW I think after this mayweather fight vs Cotto I think Cotto would KO Pacquiao at 154.

Never seen a more hyped fighter in history, Arum= great marketing guru, pac=fraud

No point for a Cotto rematch. Even if Cotto fights at 160lbs, he’ll still be stopped by Pacman. Manny is too fast for him. Marquez would be a great match. No rematch with Bradley necessary either. The first one was too one sided.

This guy is a flat out FRAUD. Mr. 8 Div Weight-Class Chump. His 8th was a vacant Jr MW title-154lbs earned at a 150lb catchweight against a guy who had been banned for a year for cheating. The Pac-Man, flat out fraud.
