It's very difficult for Cotto to make weight below 147... but sometimes huge money (maybe to the tune of $10M guaranteed purse) can convince you to agree to such terms...

Pacquiao went up to 147 to humiliate the Golden Boy (pause while I smile at the memory), so why should Cotto go down below 147 to fight Pac?
Remember the Golden Girl (a bigger star compared to Cotto) also went down to 147 to fight PAC... It's making compromises to make the fight more even and of course in exchange of huge money...
