I will post the link its just not working right now but the fight will be at 145. Its in the PR newspaper.
Im starting to really dislike Roach...at first he was crying that the fight needed to be at 142 then 143 and not higher, then yesterday an article came out saying that Arum put his foot down and said the fight needed to be higher. Now Roach says that weight never bothered him....WHATEVER if it never bothered u why not making it at 147???. Now at 145 I can see them starting to get some goosebumps...Cotto has no problem making 145 and will still be the bigger guy.
If I was Cotto I would start training yesterday.
Here is the boxing scene version not the original.
Roach Budges, Says "145" is Good For Pacquiao
By Mark Vester
Freddie
Roach, trainer of Manny Pacquiao, has budged on his demand of making
Miguel Cotto drop down to 143-pounds for a fight with Manny Pacquiao on
November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Several days ago, Roach told
media members that 143 was the weight he wanted the fight to take
place. Cotto's nutritionist told Top Rank's Bob Arum that Miguel could
only get down, in safe fashion, to a weight of 144-145 at most.
Arum recently called Roach, the two spoke about the fight and 145 appears to be the target weight for the bout.
"Arum
called me and I told him that I don't have any problems with the
fight being at 145 pounds. In fact I don't care if Cotto wants to weigh
200 pounds," Roach told Primera Hora . "I trust my fighter,
so I care very little about the weight issues. I have not talked to
Manny, who will make the final decision. He is a big man who makes his
own decisions. All I can do is give it my recommendation."
One
recommendation is for Pacquiao to make more money than in his previous
fight with Ricky Hatton in May. Pacquiao is said to have made around
$12 million for that bout.
"Obviously we want to see Manny get
paid higher than in the previous fight. There is no reason to step back
in terms of money, so those details will be discussed," said Roach.
Gabriel
Peñagarícano, the legal adviser to Cotto, told the paper that a lot of
things need to be agreed upon before the deal is closed.
"I'm not
surprised that [Roach] has accepted the weight of 145 pounds, but that
is only one of several items that will be discussed and it's taken at
least two weeks to complete. There are a list of issues are
being discussed."
hahaha!!! wow.... so now answer this roach, pacquiao destroys de la hoya and pacaman now is the best of the best becauise he beat de la hoya at 147.... makes no sense why they wont make it at 147!!!!! whatever!!!! cotto will make the badass weigh of 145 and he will eat pacquiao alive!... hopefully the day of the fight cotto weighs 157 like he allways does.... omg i cant wait and ryan sayin that pacquiao was better because he beat barrera hahahah!!!
