The fight between pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao and welterweight champion Miguel Cotto is not yet closed. According to a source, Pacquiao revealed that although negotiations for his proposed bout with Cotto are running smoothly, they have yet to agree on the purse split or the catch-weight for the bout.
Pacquiao admitted that he'd still like to shoot for a catch-weight of 142-143 pounds. However, Cotto's nutritionist said it would be impossible for him to get below 144 pounds. "Cotto is a welterweight and the nutritionist is saying the lowest he can go is 144. Manny will be fine with that. He doesn't want a guy to get in there and injure himself by fighting at an unrealistically low weight," Arum stated early last month.
