    Every, not "almost" everyone, accepts this constant discrepancy

    This is why HW's should never be on p4p lists.
    They don't have to make weight.
    Training is optional

      Keyshawn Davis once again proved how unprofessional he continues to be, not only with calling out a person he's not even facing but no effort to make weight like a professional. The kid has so much potential but lots of development as a person still needed and then to cost the promoters money like this! I would demand my money back or would never support his ass again!

        He can go buck his eyes at 140 now, his natural weight class.

          I agree with Sampson, I just hope he compensates the fighter, or makes sure his fighter is compensated...to call off the fight entirely is a financial decision as well. As for Davis, my god what a missed opportunity, his hometown, his brand is rising, this was a massive showcase, he was stirring the echoes of Sweet Pea, now? "It is what it is" means I am unprofessional, I was a little to high on my success, and I didn't do my job. Top Rank must be FURIOUS, their contract with ESPN is almost over, and they are trying to finalize a new deal...yikes

              Yeah I'm sure we could understand If it was a pound, maybe even 2, but when I seen he was a whole 4 pounds over I got to admit I was a bit taken back by that. Like dawg you didn't even try to make weight and tbh I'm not totally sold that Keyshawn is this big huge guy, he could make 135 If he wanted, he's thin framed and will be small at 140 unless he bulks up..

                That always eluded me. Maybe because it doesnt matter. Heavywieghts can weigh anything. Wilder is a little heavyweight.

                    Davis trying to pull a fast one for sure. He knows De los santos is dangerous, planned to go in there as a 154 pounder.

                      Just a serious black eye on the entire team for Davis. The "I knew I outgrew the division" statement was the most entitled thing I ever heard. Not apological, no remorse for the opponent who was ready or the paying public who shelled out money to see you perform, no worries for your promotion or the network who put money into your brand and this fight. Just "yeah, I knew. Oh well. I will be fine if De Los Santos backs out."

                      Crazy entitled.
