The recent issue surrounding the upcoming fight between No.1 Pound for Pound King Manny Pacquiao and WBO Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto is whether the latter would stake his title or not. Pacquiao obviously wants the title to be on the line to chase history possibly to become the only boxer to win titles in 7 weight divisions. Currently, he is tied with Oscar dela Hoya as 6-division champions.
Filipinos want the title on the line. In a recent announcement made by Bob Arum, he said "nobody in the US cares whether the WBO title is on the line or not", which drew a lot of comments from the boxing world especially the Pacquiao fans.
Of course a lot of people care. Check out some articles regarding this issue.
