how is it irrelevant? look at fight night weight for marquez vs pac II. it is within ww. Other welters bloat up to 150-160+ that's why it's huge for pac moving to 147 not only that. his fight night weights are generally around 148-150. marquez can come in at 141 or however the hell he wants to weigh but fight night come in around 145-147. compared to having to worry about floyds fight night weight of 160+. how that doesn't make any sense would be beyond me if you think that's not relevant.
so pac having to make 144 puts slight restriction to him though he's used to ~144 without having to worry about eating 7000 calories. we know marquez will have no problem going under 144. if he's smart he will train as hard as he wants and come fight night ready.
If its all about the fight night weight then why would Manny ask for catchweight fights? and instead of him going out of his way by eating 7000 calories why doesn't Manny just fight Marquez at 135 since they both would weight the same on fightnight anyway?
