Well they wont fight Marquez at 140lbs and defend him 140 lineal title but only at 145... And They wont fight Floyd at 147lbs and defend his 147lb WBO title but only at lower weight... And He already has a belt belt for a new division "WBC Diamond Belt".... They might as well make a new division for Pac?
As much as I respect Pacquiao and I do consider him the p4p #1, he should just let his opponent come in at 147lbs if that's the division he wants to fight in, if not go back down to 140. Then again it's a business and people will take whatever advantage they can get however small, not to mention I think Pac's max weight is 148 and he doesn't want to come in against mw opponents.
We need more divisions and more belts to go around.
140-147 is to big of a leap and 15 belts is not enough. Each pound should be a division and there should be enough belts to go around for everybody so everybody can feel like a Champion.
But there is still room for catchweights. The WW division could be 146-147 and roach would still want a 146.5 catchweight.

I agree, boxing should be more like youth soccer. Then they can go out for ice cream after too.
