Before everyone jumps on me, im not a Mayweather fan nor a JMM fan. I respect both of them as fighters and cant wait for the fight tommorrow. With that out the way, both fighters came in under the welterweight limit of 147. What the hell is the controversy? Last time I checked 144 is not a weight class. Neither is 170 with Bernard Hopkins bull****.
"Catchweight - a weight between two recognized weight classes mutually agreed-upon by the two boxing participants."
Thank you. And, **** a catchweight. Mayweather can weigh whatever he wants as long as its between 141-147. Same with Cotto against Pacman. Boxing needs to get rid of the catchweight mess.
Well that was the agreement, and Mayweather broke that agreement, coming in heavy against a man already coming up 2 weight divisions. So excuse a few people if they think your opinion on this matter is bull****.
It was announced as a catchweight at 144, nothing above. Now here's an interview with Mayweather where he calls it a welterweight fight and that's BEFORE it was postponed.
