Didn't see the same complaints for this which is worse because both were champions in the same division. A unification fight.
Saul Alvarez demanded Danny Jacobs agree to rehydration clause in fight contract
After the fight, Jacobs promoter Hearn confirmed that the request was utterly Canelos idea and not anything to do with the middleweight division requirements.
"It was a request only of Canelo and his team, to come in at 170-pounds. [Jacobs] is allowed to come in at whatever weight he wants under a certain limit. He could have come in at 179-pounds. He doesn't lose a title; he doesn't get fined by a commission. It was just a personal request [by Canelo]," Hearn told ESPN, per Boxing Scene.

Davis is getting away with this behavior because there's always someone desperate enough to accept, like every other cash-cow. Barrios had very little leverage because all he had was the WBA regular belt, and Garcia surrendered his leverage because he didn't want to face anyone else. Some fighters will prioritize WINNING and thus won't accept lopsided terms.
The guys that already make good money don’t have to bend over like that.

Listen, tank is an a-side, yes an a-side, he may actually be an a-side+ simply because hes accomplished this by not even attempting the belt route, didnt even give it a go and it made no difference, now that being said, you could argue that an a-side+ guy is being very generous in actually allowing guys to be the same weight as him in the ringComment

Not nearly as many as the number of complaints with Tank. That's why I said I don't see the "same" complaints. I didn't say there were no complaints. I didn't see multiple threads about Canelo's rehydration clause.Comment
