There's a misconception going around that Khan asked for a 152 lb catch weight and a rehydration clause. FightHype is passing that news around according to its "source".
Oscar De La Hoya (the man in charge of making the fight) just cleared it up. Khan was asking for 154 lbs. Either way, it's a negotiation and he has every right to ask for something like that especially since he has never fought above 147 lbs. Bottom line is that Khan still took the fight at 155 lbs.

Khan just made Floyd Mayweather look like a b!tch. Mayweather dehydrated Canelo down to 152. Khan is stepping up like a MAN.
Khan just dropped a nuclear bomb on Boxing. By taking this fight, he has indefinitely shut Kell Brook up. He has shut up all his haters. Hate him all you want. But, give him his respect. The man has the heart of a lion. The biggest heart in Boxing without a doubt.
Khan was ducked by:
Cotto, JMM, Tim Bradley, Pacquiao, Garcia (rematch) and Mayweather.
Here's Freddie talking about avoiding Khan for Cotto:
Floyd was fighting for a 154 lb title. So 152, no problem. If Khan wants a chance to win the middleweight title, it has to be over 154. Simple math really.
After getting robbed in Washington by the IBF, Khan vowed to never fight for the IBF again:

Great audio clip. Green k
How did Khan murk Brook? Khan is taking a fight as a huge underdog because its a huge payday-that isn't something new.
Khan has no power here so he couldn't negotiate a different weight.
Anyone would take the huge payday fight but not everyone takes the tough fight with a lot of risk for less money.
he has literally just taken a harder fight for less money than the brook fight.

Khan is going to get murdered. When it happens, please post your excuses here.
Forget about pulls. This is Boxing. This isn't ping pong. Men fight men, like men do. At each other's best.
Khan is fighting Canelo at Canelo's turf (155 lbs). Khan is fighting Canelo at his best.
Its all about pull,Khan had no choice but to fight him at 155 or fvck off
Khan didnt have the pull Floyd did so he could not demand anything, if anything Canelo made Khan look like the no pull lil b1tch he really is

Floyd is going to look a complete fool if Khan beats Canelo.
However It's more likely Khan is going to find out WHY Floyd drained him down to 152 lb's.
