lol the whole situation is so ******ed it's comical imagine trying to convince a non fan to start watching the sport and trying to explain this fight to them ...
newbie: so they are fighting for the middleweight title?
You: yup
Newbie: So it's at 160 right?
You: Umm no it's 154.5
Newbie: Oh you mean super welterweight? that's 154 yeah? Oh I'm getting
the hang of this now!
You: Uh no 154.5 ... it's a catchweight ...
Newbie: A catchweight? What's that?
You: Because neither guy is actually a legit middle weight but they want to be able to claim they are the middleweight champion they agreed to fight for the middleweight title at a catchweight.
newbie: I don't get it.
You: Look man i already explained this. The aren't real middleweights but are fighting for the middleweight title. To trick more dumbasses into buying the fight.
Newbie: didn't you ... uh buy the fight?
You: yeah well it's either this or watch GGG beat up some more no hopers.
Newbie: GGG?
You: Yeah GGG. The middleweight champion
newbie: Okay ... so GGG is like Cotto's middle name or something?
You: No, He's got a different title. You know there's a couple of titles, WBA, WBO all that jazz.
Newbie: At 154.5
You no at 160 ... this is at a catchweight remember?
newbie: Oh right so this GGG dude is the WBO champion at 160 but these guys are...
You: No that's Andy Lee
Newbie: Who?
You: Andy lee ... look it's quite simple Jesus Christ ... GGG is the baddest ****er around but he's too big for these guys, but they want to still be able to claim to be the middleweight champ without actually fighting him so they are fighting for the lineal 160 pound title at a catchweight of 154.5 pounds.
Newbie: Oh ... right so it's kinda like the intercontinental title in the WWE?
You: No! it's the lineal 160 pound title they are just fighting for it at 154.5!!!
newbie: How much did this cost you again?
You: I dunno 80 bucks or something ... shut up man it's about to start!
Newbie: ... umm cool ... so ... which one is Pacquiao again?
