What happens if Canelo comes in at 154, anyway?

[THE REED]

I swear mayweather is such a ****ing ***** for forcing the catch-weight. He has a belt at 154, theres absolutely no reason for the CW. A rehydration clause woulda been more acceptable.

Mayweather forced the catchweight?

Canelo offered 150lbs.

Ignorance is bliss.

You can't force anyone to do anything.

Yeah because they were old and shopworn. Not trying to be witty, just stating the truth.

Why are you always seemingly the authority on how big these guys are? You seem to be a very good judge of a man's size....ahem. First it was "Martinez can't make 154" and now its "Canelo should be at 160"

Canelo couldnt make the 150 pound catch weight against Matt Hatton and that was when he was smaller. Hes a big ass kid doesnt take Burt Sugar to see that.

And come on Martinez isnt making 154 especially after ANOTHER long layoff.

No...the CW in this fight is totally ***ed up. How can he fight @ 154 with no CW for the title with Cotto who was the legit 154 champ...win the fight and become the 154 champ ...Then fight another legit 154 champ at a CW!!!!! Thats some COWARDLY shlt!

wouldn't the fairest thing to do would be for both fighters to weigh in at 154, 1 hour before the fight? No weight advantage either way. Something tells me you won't like this as Floyd won't be at a 20 lb weight disadvantage.

I dont know man.... Canelo is lean and ripped at 166.... I cant see how he will be healthy at 152.

A set of eyes is all you need.




166lbs

Thats crazy.

He has always made 154 but of course you and Burt Sugar - a dead man - are the highest authorities on these things!

If Alvarez comes in above the 152lb limits, its for sure they wont cancel the fight because of money reasons. But he would probably be fined $300,000-$500,000 PER LBS above 152lbs. Have a re-hydration limit of 160lbs. And be strip of his belts.

Its actually in the nsac code that no more than a maximum of 25% of the fighters purse can be fined for xoming in overweight. Thats why I thought it was hilarious when Pac wanted 10 milli per pound over. Basically Canelo can come in at 154 and fight and win but when May wants that money canelo can take it to court and it will be dismissed.

Word?

Fuggit, if I'm canelo, I'm coming in at 154/155.

If this is true, then it's still a considerable amount of money. If Canelo is getting let's say a $12 million dollar purse, losing 25% is a lot! That's $3 million bucks at 25%. And that's before Canelo even sees a penny after subtracting all his other expenses.

Yeah, but the luxury of not having to squeeze out those last 2 lbs. can pay dividends in the fight.

a) Be drained, get dominated.

b) Come in healthy, give a good account of yourself, lose, but your stock doesn't fall off, so fights with other big names still attract the fans attention, mo $$$.

c) Come in healthy, win the fight, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Wow I dont think I ever seen him that ripped.

[FrankieClutch]

I wouldn't be surprised if Canleo lost his whole purse if he's 2-3 lbs. over. Over 3 lbs, the fight will probably be cancelled.
