Catchweight at 150 pounds (!). Forbes have fought at that weight before though, as it was the weight limit for participants in Season Two of The Contender.
Giving it a bit of thought, I actually don't mind this. Sure, it is a meaningless fight, made only to make ODLH look good. But if, as many here claim, DLH is meaningless anyway, it should be only good that he doesnt confuse 'the title picture', right? Let the real McCoys fight each other and all that.
Also, if this indeed mean 'free HBO', as in 'people who do not subscribe to HBO can watch it anyway', then this will get a hell of a lot more viewers than any other recent boxing fight. And that promotion should be good for the sport, right? And finally, fighting in a stadium would give a much better chance for his fans to see him in action, than fighting in 10.000-capacities Casinos with reservations for high-rollers, so that should be applauded as well. Hatton-fans will know what I mean on this one.
