Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer Explains Mayweather Catch-Weight Deal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Chepo Reynoso, the manager and trainer for WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs), gives a lot of credit to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer for working day and night to finalize a deal that matches Canelo against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In a recent article on BoxingScene.com, Canelo stated that both sides budged a little on the weight.

The two sides agreed on a catch-weight of 152-pounds, but Reynoso says it wasn't easy.

"Mayweather wanted a catch weight at 150"

Interesting

So where did the "147 or not fight" talk come from?

And it says he initially wanted 147 before that. That's what I call a Catchweight King.

150? woah total drainage there, good on Canelo for not caving in.

Very...maybe more to it or they both played the weight game high/low to meet in the middle.

Surprised Floyd conceded anything to be honest.

Perhaps the initial part of the discussions which began at 147, then 150, then settled at 152. All below 154 I might add.

That wouldnt be a catchweight. It would be for Floyd's WW title. No way Canelo makes it anywhere close to 147. That's just game.
