Should Cotto not bother making weight?

[Gandalf]

The CONTRACTED weight was 147 with the stipulation that Mayweather would pay money for every pound he was over 144. So it wasn't mandatory.

Cotto is CONTRACTED to come in at 145 so he won't but if it wasn't mandatory he would.

Yeah but it was never mentioned until after the weigh in was it? But you already knew that.

Actually the contracted weight for Marquez/Mayweather was 144, the weight didn't get changed until the day of the weigh-in when it became clear that he wouldn't make weight.

Here is all the details about what happened.

Well said Diane. I'm sick of hearing excuses for Mayweathers weight antics. He cheated, end of story. Even his supporters should have their eyebrows more than raised by the carry on that took place.

As for Cotto. Well, he should make the weight like he agreed to in the contract. A fighter should have honour in what they do and making weight is an important part of that. I always look at Cotto as a no bullshit kind of guy.
