But he wants the catchweight because he wants to make sure his opponents arent at 100% and that they are drained. But this shouldnt suprise anyone, Team Pacquiao have been doing this for a while. Whether it's making the opponent fight at an entire weight division below their natural weight (DLH, Morales) or demanding catchweight fights (Cotto) they want every advantage they can get. Even if the opponent is coming off devastating losses (Morales-Raheem, Cotto-Margarito).
