Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Defend 147 and 154 Titles in One Night?

If Floyd was to fight cotto at a weight of 160 with all 3 major titles on the line, it would make sense. Otherwise no.

Just when you think he did it all....here comes this.

A fighter doesn't have to be ranked for a voluntary defense.

Well unfortunately, after consulting the WBC's sham of a rulebook, it appears that we are both wrong. A fighter does have to be ranked over top 15 for a voluntary defence - with ranks 11-15 requiring approval. But it appears a highly ranked fighter in another division does count...

If Floyd doesn't have to defend his belts with a mandatory, I really do not see the point here. Is this to promote his fight or something?

[Spray_resistant]

How would he defend both? Would he weigh in at 147 and the other fighter weigh 154 ? I'm not sure I get how this would be done?

The only way I can see this happening is if both fighters have to be below 147 but at the same with the titles on the line at 154 they are under the 154lb limit so it would have to be a special agreement someone makes with Floyd obviously for the money the fight would make him.

This means no legit 154lber will be fighting Floyd for both titles.

Canelo or cotto are the only names that make money

You read my mind!

The fight would have to be at 147 for all three weight classes to count

Cotto's not fighting in September. Hopefully they can do it in Nov or Dec. I don't want to wait till next May.

Yep, and I don't think Cotto is going down that far.

another marketing trick to sell fraud's failing and declining ppv buys.

but phuck that nobody will buy into a crappy ploy unless you're an idiot...
