COTTO - PACQUIAO

You suddenly have this match on your schedule (Nov. 14) for Cotto's welterweight title. This is impossible, because, like everybody should know by now, the fight will be a non-title match, happening at a catchweight of 145 lbs. Please remove from your schedule that the match will be for Cotto's belt. Thanks!

Why shouldn't Cotto's belt be at stake? Hopkins vs. De La Hoya was held at a catchweight of 158 lbs. with all middleweight titles on the line. Or was there an official announcement confirming that no title will be at stake?

Traditionally, If the champ & challenger weigh in @ 145, it's for the title.

I don't see no "catchweight".

WBO are discussing it with Cotto/Arum this week on whether it will be on the line

OK then, let's hope it will be, then... although Pacquiao holds IBO/Ring belts one weight class below...

145 is in the welter weight limits of 140-147 so its still a welterweight fight

Well really there is no lower limit, as long as the boxer is 147 or under he can fight for a welter title. Of course it's highly unlikely that someone under 140 would attempt it.

It looks more likely that it will be for the title.

Looks like it's not on the line: http://www.BS.com/?m=show&id=21222

So the WBO title isn't worth $400,000!

How much is it worth?
