The coverage in the UK is dire, so I don't even know if they provided the fightnight weights, but even if they did I was so drunk I missed it, so could someone fill me in? Cheers :good
dont think hbo showed them but i did read a report that on the morning of the weigh in pac woke up at 143
Do you happen to know why is that Bro? Hated whoever started the sh*t about denying the paying public about fightnight weight disclosure... :fire
Top Rank probably didn't want either fighter's fight night weight to be known. Now why they wouldn't want this information to be known is a mystery to me.
Giving out the fight-night weights is a fairly recent thing. They didn't used to do it very often in the 90s. It's more of a recent PPV thing. There are plenty of good reasons for not doing it. Maybe you don't want your opponent to know how much you've bulked-up (or haven't -- perhaps you've ****ed up your rehydration). Maybe you don't want future opponents saying, "Damn, that dude comes in at light-heavy on fight-night; I'm definitely ducking him". If I was a promoter, it's the kind of information I'd only be happy giving out in certain circumstances and not others. It's good trivia for fight fans to discuss and extrapolate from, but I'm not sure it's that critical. You could argue that it's enough to know that they both managed to make weight on the day of the weigh-in.
