Berto, the WBC welterweight titleholder, and Ortiz have agreed to a catch weight of 145 pounds plus one, or in effect 146. That’s one pound below the welterweight limit.

Can someone explain why they chose to word it as "145 plus one"? Why not just call it "146"?
Is there something in the contract that says Ortiz gets some sort of extra compensation, since Berto weighed in above 145 (145.5)? Would Berto have received some sort of bonus if he had weighed in at 145 or less? Or is it something else?
Inquiring minds want to know.
