That's a one sided take. Salido didn't try and make a contracted weight so didn't have to cut weight and then ballooned up after the weigh-in. Lomachenko also moved up 4 lbs to fight for a second title. It's not a fair comparison comparing a fight where two fighters agreed to a weight and re-hydration clause and made both to a bout where a fighter strategically didn't make weight, ballooned up in weight and used dirty tactics all fight long.
Also, the Marriaga fight happened because Salido rejected 750k and they needed an opponent since they had a date. No other champion was available so hardly a sin and the Rigondeaux fight happened because the public demanded it even though Rigo refused it for more money at 126. There were no other champions available.
