    Canelo said he cannot do welter

    said Mayweather team wanted 150, then 151 the they finally accepted 152

    Ellerbe said they "took advantage of the situation"

    Floyd the dumb hypocrite refused to even talk about the horrible draining of canelo

    Floyd the dumb hypocrite is going to make over $50MM for this fight. This may end up being the highest revenue generating fight of all time. If Canelo is drained, it will only help Mayweather, and Mayweather will still get a lot of praise should he win. The price of a big win and a huge payday; answering some tough questions and having fans(who will still pay for the fight) criticize him online.

    We all know who wanted it. If May didn't want a catchweight they would've set it at 154 to begin with.

    Let's be real, Mayweather contradicted himself here and orcastrated the catch weight. To make matters worse, he and his team have tried to spin it as if Canelo wanted a CW. For that, backlash is to be expected. In the grand scheme of things though, it doesn't matter. This is still a huge event.

    Canelo has made 151 and 153 in past fights, the catchweight will NOT effect his performance

    Yes we know Floyd's team wanted Canelo at a lower weight class. Canelo's team offered the 152 catchweight as a counter offer to Floyd's team asking for a lower weight.

    So yes Floyd wanted Canelo to lose a few extra pounds, but Canelo's team offered the catchweight in a sense. Both teams are right, but Canelo's team is closer to the truth. Ellerbe just isn't telling the whole story


    Can we stop talking about this

    We should wait to see what Canelo weighs in at
    If he comes in at 153 then all this talk is pointless

    Floyd is going up 6 pounds from his last weighin, so they're both at a disadvantage

    I seen the All Access 4 preview and floyd was like "We set you up" and canelo finally got mad. Floyd has gotten to him and the fight will be that much easier now.

    No. You are confusing Floyd with Manny Pacquiao.

    both guys used catchweights to gain an advantage over their opponents, which is one reason I'm not a big fan of neither
