I'm sorry if this has already been discussed. When did the same day weigh-in begin to lose favor and who promoted this change? Was a big deal made out of it at the time? Thanks.
Some say it's the Ray Mancin-Deuk Koo-Kim incident that changed the day of the weigh-in to the day before the fight, but the main change was when Michael Spinks-Eddie Mustafa Muhammad II was canceled on the day of the fight because Muhammad couldn't make the 175 lb. limit. and Michael Spinks opted to cancel. Too much money was lost on that night
