Heavy-Weights from Cancun, Castillo WAY Overweight

[Migs]

I like Castillo and I do feel bad for him. He is the bread winner for 10 people in his family and I think he fights because he has to in order to support everyone. I read in an ESPN article last summer that when he didn't make weight against Corrales that he was fined around 200,000 and has been struggling financially ever since. I believe it said he was also fronted money from the Hatton-Castillo purse before the fight. It's a shame.

200,000 is a bit too much for a "fine". Only in boxing where the athletes are penalized so much. Hopkins 200,000 fine for pushing. ****ing ridiculous fines
