Fight should be at 147 limit anyway if it's for a 147 title. Fighters need to stop the CW BS there's already too many divisions without creating their own.

At this level of the sport, the A-side makes the rules. And its not gonna change until enough B-siders have the guts to sell the A-siders to kiss their asses. But as long as the the money gap between fighting a guy like Manny, and fighting a guy that's a top fighter, who's not as popular as Manny remains as wide as it is. Maybe if fight fans supported all top fighters, the problem wouldn't be like it is today.

I like the idea of open weight, no weight classes at all.

They do it in jiu jitsu.

Who was the catch weight for? Seriously? Algieri last fought at 140 and now came in over 144 for this fight, which was the limit.

Doesn't matter who it was for. If the fight is for a division title it should have the division limit. What's the point of having limits if fighters can ignore them and create their own.

I agree man, I'm actually just wondering who benefits from the cw. I'm sure Chris would have fought at the ww limit for such a prize. I'm actually puzzled by it.

The ironic thing is that English is Pacquiao's second language and he can read better in English than Mayweathercan

Here's Mayweather reading:





(Yes, it's blank because he can't read.)

At least algieri had the balls to make weight and not just pay the fee like you know who against jmm

If you know who had balls he wouldn't be fighting Algeri in the first place.
