Why does Devin Haney have 36 hours to rehydrate? Why is the weigh-in so early?

IBF rehydration clause isn’t in effect according to Coppinger

You can turn these rules on and off? Then again Spence was due to defend a welterweight belt(s) at 154lbs, so I guess anything goes nowadays.

I could be wrong, but I think they changed it a couple years ago, that if more than one belt was on the line, the rehydration clause wasn’t in effect.

Why wouldn’t it be? The IBF title is still on the line isn’t it?

Actually, this is true. It's why Canelo needed a special contract clause against Jacobs but the extra 7 hours still kinda stinks

Because more than one belt is on the line. They changed their rules

They did for Pacquiao winning a junior middleweight title with a 150 pound limit. Or Canelo winning and defending a middleweight title with a 155 limit. This didn't start with Haney or Spence.

Pacquiao and Canelo were catchweights in the respective division. As was Mayweather vs Canelo. Spence defending welterweight titles over welterweight is something new is all. Though I suppose Ray vs Lalonde introduced it.
