Floyd wanted to ensure that canelo would be forced to get in shape, so that there were no excuses for when he gets outclassed 
In all seriousness tho, ii still believe it was a business move by mayweather. There isn't much on the horizon for mayweather as far as big fights, so asking for the catchweight and getting all the Floyd hatrlers jimmies rustled, opens up the opportunity for a rematch at 'canelos weight'.
Floyd will outclass canelo, people will cry about the catchweight, and Floyd will say I'll beat his ass at 154. Bam, two mega fights and huge paychecks.
