Floyd Mayweather Jr. clarified on a conference call Wednesday that the maximum contracted weight for his rematch against Marcos Maidana is the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.
Leonard Ellerbe, chief executive officer for Mayweather Promotions and Mayweather’s close friend/adviser, raised eyebrows on Marcos Maidana’s conference call last week by noting that Mayweather (46-0, 26 KOs) and Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs) will fight for the WBC welterweight title and the WBC super welterweight title Mayweather won from Canelo Alvarez nearly a year ago. While Mayweather made the contract weight known Wednesday, neither Ellerbe nor Mayweather provided a legitimate reason why the WBC would sanction the Mayweather-Maidana rematch as a super welterweight title fight when the super welterweight/junior middleweight division begins at 148 pounds and caps at 154.
