Manny Pacquiao VS Miguel Cotto

[keboks_x]

I don't care about the title at all... rarely do you see fight like this where fighters actually do fight... I'd pay to watch this fight even if I'm broke... go Manny!!!

[jun2x]

This is a non-title bout simply because they fight at 145lbs not the ideal welterweight. although considered as welter. That's why the bearer of the title(Cotto) can demand whether the title is at stake.

It's not gonna make the fight less entertaining. Cotto is the best fighter who has the chance against manny. I dont want to see manny lose this fight, I just want to see him fight against a real fighter.

MANILA, Philippines -- In preparation for his November clash with welterweight star Miguel Cotto, IBO junior welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is reportedly planning to kick off his training in Cebu City.

In a TV interview, Pacquiao said he will be holding initial workouts in the famous southern city before flying to the US to train at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. He added that he is eyeing to wrap up his preparations in Marbel, South Cotabato.

If his plans push through, this would mark the first time Pacquiao has trained in the Philippines since his rematch with Marco Antonio Barrera in 2007. He has consistently trained in Roach’s Gym since 2008.

welterweight is from 141 to 147 pounds. Since pacquiao only fought once in that weight against dela hoya, and since cotto is the champion, demand sya nga e non-title para win or loss,champion japon sya. Manny is fighting as welterweight again, but he isn't campaigning in the division maong pound for pound ang fight. Unless manny wants to stay in that division if he wins.

Fight at 147 lbs if Pacquiao wants title

If Manny Pacquiao wants their November 14 fight to be a title fight, Miguel Cotto said the Filipino has to agree to meet him at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.
In the event that the fight would get into trouble with the World Boxing Organization (WBO), the Puerto Rican reiterated that he is willing to vacate the throne.
“If Pacquiao wants that the fight be for the title, (it) will have to be in 147 pounds. I won the title in that, the welterweight (division) and that is 147 pounds,” Cotto told the Primera Hora newspaper yesterday during the launch of his clothing line.
Cotto, the reigning WBO welter champion, stressed that the issue of the title was not raised during the negotiations with the Pacquiao camp.
Top Rank head Bob Arum echoed Cotto’s statement.
“No,” said Arum, when asked if Pacquio’s people raised the matter of Cotto’s WBO title during the negotiations.
“The weight of 145 pounds is not a category. If the OMB (WBO) is having a problem with my decision (not to stake it), I will gladly hand over the title. I do not have problems with that,” said Cotto, who was represented during the negotiations by Gabriel Penagaricano, one of boxing’s premiere lawyers.
“The OMB (WBO) has the legal authority to dismiss me as champion and gladly I deliver them the title. (WBO president) PacoValccel, better than nobody, knows that the 145 pounds is not a division,” added Cotto, who beat Joshua Clottey in his last outing last June.
