I would guess that Floyd told Team Canelo they have to choose between a 152 CW and a rehydration clause. That's probably all that went down. From Mayweather's perspective it makes total sense, and is probably less debilitating than a weight restriction on the day of the fight IMO.
That being said, I don't like Catchweights at all, and hope Canelo just comes in at 154. It gives people an excuse when Canelo is sucking wind at the end of the fight, and people will attribute his lack of stamina to the CW instead of the fact that Alvarez has shown TERRIBLE stamina in all of his fights.
Still has to land some of his own.
In theory, Canelo's "stand and wait for your opponent to attack" style is tailor-made for Mayweather.
Canelo has to show something new like he did against Trout, he has to attack early.
New? he reverted back to counter punching in that fight.
Should have been at 154 but with a rehydration clause. The big ginger sloth will eat Floyd's shots like candy when he outweighs him by 20 pounds.

GBP's Richard Schaefer confirms that #MayweatherCanelo will be at 152-pound catchweight. No limit to how heavy Canelo can get post weigh-in

He must must be under 162 pounds on fight night or is $1 million per pound fine if he goes over 162.
I don't think what his credentials/credibility is though, haven't seen a source.
The catch weight is infuriating enough as it is.
