    Just have a strict peiod for a fight to happen and have them have several weigh in moments to keep them disciplined without too much draining. Ending on the same day weigh inn.

    They can and sometimes do with rehydration clauses or IBF rules.

    But those are constantly hated and bashed on.

    I dont see it ever changing back.

    Either do it same day, or do it a week before. Let us get them at their best.

    That's fine they can still have a day before fight arrivals or some other BS...or a weigh in check before the actual weigh in the next day.

    This day before weigh in created 5 division champions who aren't really that anyway. Just fighters who can rehydrate best. Have them all come in at their best weight and you will find out who can truly go up a division like Armstrong.

    But it's true all these multi divisions champions with 5 belts per division....and you have 200 champions gives these promoters and networks more marketing material to sell the fights. Everything that's on TV now is championship so they can sell it that way.

    If they had original divisions with same day weigh ins and 1 belt per division there wouldn't be so much hype for mediocre fighters....who are now making alot more money btw than back in the day being 3 division champions of fake divisions and worthless belts

    It should be same day weigh ins to put all fighters back on a level playing field and remove the “weight bully’s” advantage. Forget about the extra money the promoters make with the grand weigh ins for the big fights day before the fight and get it back to how it was with actual fighters fighting with in the parameters of the division there fighting in.
