Mayweather requests catchweight for Maidana, to defend both 147-154 title belts

How could that work, would the fight be at 148lbs? but then he couldn't defend the 147lb belt.

There probably going to strip his 154 belt.

This **** makes no sense.

[IronDanHamza]

If the fight is at 147 for the 154 title thats a catchweight for that belt.

No it's not.

[ChampBox@PR]

a catchweight is needed, he can defend both at 147. The JMW is 154 and lower and the WW limit is 147 and lower. So he can defend both at 147 simple as that. Technically it is a catch weight because he can weight more than 147.

[ChampBox@PR]

No it's not.

Yes it is, because you cant weight more than 147, and since the JMW limit is 154, that those covert the match as a catch weight technically!

No it's not.

Yes it is, 147 is the welterweight limit, if he defends the belt at 147 at 147 that is not a cathcweight but for the 154 that would be considered a catchweight for the 154 title.

What's the point?

The point is so Mayweather can officially defend his 154 pound title without having to fight a 154 pound fighter.

The point is so Mayweather can officially defend his 154 pound title without having to fight a 154 pound fighter.

My thoughts exactly.

So does he get credited for two defenses for the same fight. Crazy

When fights start and they tell us the rules, it should state:

"Under the unified rules of the Mayweather association..."
