    Arum discredits himself every time he opens his pie hole while under gag order. He lied the last negotiation about what happened and you expect me to believe him. ****ing *******, believing what ever Arum throws out there.

    :huh I'm sorry....you're new to boxing. Let me school you really quickly son. Catch weights in boxing have been around for YEARS. (floyd's demands for Manny are not) Long before Floyd was a sperm swimming around in Sr. nut sack.

    And the common "catch weight" fights are typical when a man like Manny, who is having a great deal of success in lower weight classes seek greater challenges that are presented NORTH in terms of weight.

    When a fighter is jumping up one or two weight divisions it's not just accepted but it's COMMON that we see a catch weight in order to level the playing field a bit due to the vast disparity in size between the two combatants.

    The "catch weight" isn't a fixture but more less a common ground that is met by the two parties involved so that the smaller man can GRADUALLY fill out into his new weight. Dismissed....... I'm here all day folks, :smoke

    Are catchweights, especially in a title fight, and more specifically for a fighter who has ALREADY fought in that same division, considered 'special requests' or not?

    Come on, man. You're better than that.

    Nevermind, you answered the question yourself.

    My friend, when something is not a 'fixture', most sane people would consider that a 'special request'. On what planet is this NOT true?

    You're talking in circles here.
