Personally, I don't think Sergio would be effective at that weight as he would have to cut 25-30 lbs. On top of that, the fight would be almost meaningless and unattractive for either Manny or Floyd or their handlers. Sergio has proven that he is a financial disaster and tickets to his fights have to be given away. On top of that, he holds no titles at JMW, so what would be the incentive for either guy to take on a financial liability for no trinkets?
The only way I see either fight selling is if they introduce a new exotic location like Top Rank did with Clottey and Dallas. They could also do what Floyd tried to do with Winky Wright- include a rehydration clause if the weight is an issue. Have the fight at 154 but put the overnight rehydration cap at 165.
