Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez To Lose $70,000 For Failing To Make Weight

[edgarg]

This is a joke. As predicted Alvarez is overweight. How the hell does boxing expect to regain any respectability with this kind of **** going on. GBP are getting worse and, considering Hatton was already small in the fight, he should definitely walk away.
Also, 151.8 and 151.4 30 minutes later???? He didn't even try to cut any weight in that time.....which leads to the assumption that he was advised from the start of camp to not worry about making weight.
Whatever happens, it is now going to be a tainted victory and worse than that it keeps boxing labelled as corrupt.

I thought it was an hour and a half later, with 30 minutes still to go for the two hours. I am surprised that he could take off no more than about 5 oz. that is, IF he was trying.

I see no reason why the Commission shhould get a cent more than whatever fees they normally get. If they want to fine Canelo, that should be a privare matter and separate from the purse, which is between the 2 boxers.

If Hatton won't fight, (and I wouldn't blame him) I think that he is still, by contract, entitled to a solid percentage of the original purse.

So he should pull out and take his contracted amount. His opponent iis likely to rehydrate to about 170, and hatton, after all is a small welterweight.

Hatton should demand the entire $70k or should walk away and tell GBP and the CSAC to go f**k themselves. As Don King would say, this is recoculous!

Like ricans never cheat? Resto, tito and many others.

Besides, missing weight by 1 pound is hardly cheating.

I.8 lbs is just under TWO pounds, and the guy will probably be 170 at fighttime.

I agree......He would if he stood his ground.

i know resto is a rican you dumb ****.... i never said anything about him not being a rican but that's not your fault you mexicans dont know how to read... and by the way check your facts your country has more aids than mines... matter fact PR has one of the lowest rates of aids in latin america mexico has one of the highest.... and if your gonna reply once again do it with facts moron your not making your dumb ass ppl look any better

uh,maybe if people like you knew how to spell correctly others would know how to read...here,let me show you something simple...for example at the end you write,"and if your gonna reply...." that your is not the correct one,you are supposed to use you're because you mean to say you are....ok? so next time don't find fault in people that don't know how to read when you yourself need to learn how to spell correctly

I don't feel bad. lol.

[jltsmae]

mhatton should have demanded a 10M / pound penalty over the agreed weight limit to prevent canelo of getting an advantage over weight...

[ippo]

Hatton should get the entire 70k,hes the one risking himself not the commission.

Kid Cinnamon didnt do himself any favors. Lets hear the Floyd comparisons.

Floyd weighed in @ 146 on a 144-lb contracted fight. Then he refused to be weighed (must have ballooned to 160) during fight night. Then everyone gave him credit for the win. lol
