Top Rank promoter Bob Arum reached an agreement with both camps.
"It's done, " Arum said. "While I was away I reached a verbal agreement with each side. Pacquiao committed to the fight this weekend and Cotto the week before while I was in Israel. I was on the phone all the time to get this done."
Pacquiao, (140 pounds) and Cotto (147 pounds), agreed to meet at 145 pound maximum weight.
And both boxers has a very effective southpaw, not to mention they had speed and power.
