After Floyd wins this fight he is probably going for the MW strap for his last fight...Far more prestige in that than the IBF WW title and this clown Cotton who currently holds the WBC strap doesn't fight at 160 anyways so the weight isn't a concern...Plus Floyd already whooped him once...

If the WBC sanctions that, then they lose all credibility forever

Why would they lose credibility for sanctioning that fight?
Nothing wrong with a CW of 155...I don't agree with it but it is what it is...Cotton ain't fighting any real MWs anyway and needs to be stripped of the strap...After Floyd does that and retires the strap is up for grabs...

Cotto needs to be stripped right now by the WBC.. He has yet to fight for his title at 160.. Goes from 159, to 157, now you're saying he should defend his title against Floyd, who isn't even ranked, at 155.. its a Joke.. and if the WBC sanctions this their credibility is done, for good

Roach said Floyd can't hurt Manny
So feather fisted Bradley can hurt him but not Floyd
I hope Manny listens to Roach and just leaves himself wide open thinking he can just walk thru punches

This post coming from the biggest Pactard on this forum is mind numbingly hilarious...You dont agree with it, but its nothing wrong with it?

Where were you when your boy Pacquiao the king of the CW was weight draining everybody? You defended him every single time...Its OK for Pacquiao to fight Cotton at 145 for a 147 strap but not OK for Cotton to defend the 160 strap at 159...
@ this hypocritical mothafukka...I said I don't agree with it because I don't like this CW practice bullshyt but there is no written rule the strap has to be defended at 160 you fool...Those of us who want Cotton to be stripped is because he is ducking legitimate contenders for a specific pay day...
^^let me watch this later..now this is good!! Wish chris rock or even eddie reprised this shyt for the event..

First off Cotto wasn't defending anything.. Sergio was defending his belt.. And he always comes in at 159.. My beef isn't with 159, its with you saying he should defend his belt against Floyd at 155..
Okay now since you want to bring Pacquiao into this...
First catchweight was against Cotto for the strap at 145, which is 1 pound less than Cotto was in his previous fight. Cotto coming in at 146 was the norm.. Pac was coming from 138... Pacquiao defeated Cotto, but he defended his title at 147 afterwards against Clotty, Shane, and Bradley2x. the only other time there was a WW catchweight was when either he or his opponent was coming from another weight class(Marquez3 and Algieri)(Rios the only exception was at 147)..
After Cotto fought a crippled Martinez at a one pound catch weight he has yet to defend his strap at the full weight.. Now he's fighting Geale at 157.. Now you're talking about him fighting Floyd at 155 for the 160 strap?? Thats retarded..Why not just fight at 154 for Floyds strap??
If you wanna bring up Pac fighting Margarito at 151 catchweight keep in mind Pac relinquished his belt after the fight.. Margarito wasn't even the lineal champ and the fight was for a paper title..
Cotto is the lineal champ at MW.. He shouldn't be fighting anyone other than GGG.. The WBC better not sanction that bullshyt
Bettors wagering Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao bout is draw
If the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight ends in a deflating draw, it would be the worst-case scenario for one of Nevada's largest sportsbooks. It also could set up an even more lucrative rematch for everyone involved.
When the MGM sportsbook opened betting on the fight in February, a draw paid 22-1. The odds of a draw have been bet down to 8-1. Almost 1,000 bets had already been placed on the outcome resulting in a draw, according to MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood. That's double the number of bets on any of the other possible outcomes.
"That will minimize as we get closer, but right now it's not good -- our worst-case scenario," Rood said.
The fight will take place May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, capping a raucous Saturday in Las Vegas that also features the Kentucky Derby and NBA playoffs. Estimates of how much will be bet on Mayweather-Pacquiao range from $50 million to $80 million.
After seats to both the live fight and the Las Vegas closed circuit telecasts quickly sold out, a rematch after a controversial draw would make for a tasty opening attraction when the MGM opens its new 20,000-seat arena next spring. Last spring, Mayweather told reporters he'd be honored to be the opening act for the new arena
In the meantime, bettors have leaned toward Mayweather over the past 10 days, as he was back up to a minus-200 favorite at the MGM after weeks below that mark. He could be found as high as minus-215 at the Westgate SuperBook and Caesars and as low as minus-185 at Station casinos. Pacquiao was paying around plus-175.
"The past week we have finally seen some significant favorite money," Station Casinos vice president of race and sports Art Manteris told ESPN Chalk. "The frequency of wagers on Pacquiao is still very one-sided. The big bets, however, are now trending on Mayweather. Some very sharp players have already unloaded on Mayweather. Some are waiting for expected downward price movement fight weekend."
At the MGM, three times more bets have been placed on underdog Pacquiao than Mayweather, but more money overall had been wagered on the favored undefeated champion as of Thursday. Rood said the biggest bet he's taken at this point was "just shy of a half a million" on Pacquiao. Bettors have inquired about placing even larger wagers as the fight approaches.
The action on the fight is picking up at sportsbooks in the United Kingdom as well. The U.K. branch of William Hill told ESPN Chalk that the betting action on the fight had been bigger than most other boxing matches. Ladbrokes said it expects the betting handle on Mayweather-Pacquiao to be on par with a World Cup match involving England.
"Although we have no U.K. fighter for the patriotic punters to support, this fight makes broad appeal globally," Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donahue said. "We are a global business, and some big hitters are already starting to show interest."
