Lee agreed to this because it's the biggest money fight he can get and he has at least some chance of beating Chavez, although I agree about the KO to get a draw bit.

Chavez, Arum, Martinez and Di Bella have to sign an sgreement that Chavez fights Martinez after the Lee fight. Martinez already signed it. Chavez has to sign it before the Lee fight or he gets stripped and it'll be a nontitle fight against Lee. The question is does Chavez sign then say a month or so after the fight that he can't make 160 anymore and is moving up. I'd say definitely yes but what's he going to do at 168? He's going to have to fight somebody credible up there to get a belt and there's zero chance he beats Ward, Bute etc. So hopefully the motherfunker now actually has to get in the ring with Martinez. Maybe he won't even bother trying to make 160 and will weigh in for the Martinez fight well over the limit. I don't give him any chance against Martinez in a fair fight. I really want to see him lose for the first time.
