Comments Thread For: Ellerbe Clarifies Max Weight For Broner-Porter is 144

[Sugar Adam Ali]

What on earth does Ellerbe have to do with this fight? I'm curious.

Broner is an Al Haymon managed fighter but under no promotional banner. Why is he speaking on Broner's behalf?

The article clearly states Mayweather promotions is the promotional company for this event... That's why ellerbe is talking

Mayweather Promotions is the shell promoter for this fight.

So glad Ellerbe waited till the last week to clarify this. Mayweather Promotions is a ****ing joke.

144 CW, with rehydration clause of 155 was posted when it was signed right ? The rehydration clause still stands right ?

[boxingfan1986]

yeah i was wondering why mayweather promotions are promoting this event too. but its really al haymon promotions.. he's using them as a front.. just like the james degale vs andre dirrell fight.. wasnt that fronted by lou di bella promotions? so haymon won the purse bid for that fight and used di bella to promote it.

Bahahaaha fixed it by adding Mayweathers name? What a ****. Hope you feel better about your life now. Such a tool.

Just trying to educate the Flom0s.

Not sure many made it out the 4th grade.

Just saw an interview on DBN; Porter says that the rehydration clause isn't a problem because when he has the IBF title he couldn't rehydrate past 10 pounds anyway.

Wasnt that at 147 doe? Meaning 157 lbs

This is 144 meaning 154.. that's a big difference. I think Team Porter is downplaying the weight issue.. So if they lose I don't wanna hear any excuses. Weigh in should be very interesting indeed

Golovkin would fight Mayweather or Pacquiao at 152 if they offered, doesn't make it right. Catchweights should be banned from the sport. It's unhealthy.

Catchweights are not the problem. The problem is fighters fighting at weight classes they don't naturally belong at. If they are naturally 160, 165, 170, they have no business at 147. If you want to suggest banning something, you should begin there.
