Max weight was 141 for Gomez-Soto. They let Soto come Iittle over to get them closer. #CaneloKirkland #boxing

Steve Kim @steveucnlive
Soto must've gotten paid to allow Gomez to come on over 6 pds over the weight #boxing

if you're sick doesn't that help you lose weight?

Quite the opposite, he's been sick for the past four days so its nothing serious so probably nothing serious. Basically he cant dehydrate himself to make weight as you need the fluids when you're ill.

good call to cancel. I'm really disappointed we won't see the fight though . It just wouldn't be fair to Soto. Damn Frankie Gomez, damn! Remember those photos or video clips of him in the gym from a couple months ago where he looked like the goodyear blimp? The guy must have no discipline outside the ring.

[oscar_angels091]

will they move up another fight to the co feature on hbo or will the canelo fight just start earlier?

Dan Rafael's write-up on the situation:

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id...-soto-canceled

The fight with Soto, a former lightweight and junior lightweight world titleholder, was contracted at 141 pounds. However, Gomez was nowhere near weight when he arrived in Houston earlier this week -- a Golden Boy Promotions official estimated he was about 16 pounds overweight -- and Soto agreed to raise the contract limit to 145 on Friday. Yet when Gomez stepped on the scale, he was 147½ pounds. Soto weighed in at 142½, easily inside the renegotiated limit.

Golden Boy Promotions and HBO officials huddled to discuss their options. Soto was willing to go through with the fight as long as Gomez was willing to melt off a little more weight and agree to a weight check Saturday morning to make sure he didn't balloon up more than around 10 pounds. Soto would have also received a chunk of Gomez's purse.

However, Gomez's team said he could not lose anything else, and the fight was canceled.

Now he won't fight or be paid. Eric Gomez said Soto (65-8-2, 35 KOs), 34, of Mexico, also won't be paid but will be able to keep the five-figure advance he was paid on what would have been a $250,000 purse.
