If Canelo comes in over the catch weight limit does the fight still happen?

    Announcer : SAUL CANELO ALVAREZ WAYS IN......................156lbs, 4 pounds over the fight limit.
    Dear God, that would be sad on so many levels. 154, I can dig, but 156 is absolutely unacceptable.

      He will weigh 154 and Floyd will we fought him at his comfortable weight I think he has been the plan all along.

          No. Floyd will drop $50 million based on two pounds.

              Canelo should do just as Floyd did to Jmm. Come in at 154 and pay the penalty. Only way this fight gets called off in that event is if Floyd flat out refuses to fight him and forfeits his purse.

                  Does anyone think floyd and GBP are going to cancel the biggest fight in more than 5 years, a fight that could sell 2 mil ppv's, has sold thousands of closed circuit tickets and has already set the live gate record, because Canelo misses weight?

                    If that's the case I would take the 2 mil loss just to be comfortable and have a chance. If he wins he will be banking and I feel like if he comes in 152 ( meaning he will be down to 151) we might see him looking like de la hoya vs pac.

                      Honestly I think Floyd would if it meant he was being taken advantage of and put in aposistion to lose his 0. Floyd has options he is the big money draw why risk it with a guy weighing in at 154-156 and 170+ at fight night. Just saying.
