Remember Castillo-Corrales rematch weigh-in??

[killersheep]

First fight: Both weigh-in at 135, back and forth battle, evenly matched. Classic.

Rematch: Castillo weighs in 3.5 lbs over. Diego still fights. Gets knocked out in 4th.



What a stunt

There was no excuse for Castillo coming in at that weight but I honestly think that Corrales was so weight drained any half decent fighter would of destroyed him that night at 135, but dont get me wrong Castillo had a massive advantage. Corrales never made 135 again after that.

So I think this is a big different if thats what your trying to say comparing it to Mayweather/Marquez?

That is why I brought it up.


You are right, it may not be the best example. But I wanted to illustrate an example of how two fighters following the RULES and weighing in at the agreed upon weight can create a completely outcome between fights.



I don't know what the "significant" fine was for Mayweather, but I get the impression he never planned to make the agreed 144 weight to begin with.

This article states Mayweather had to pay $600K ($300k per pound) for coming in over weight. Which is four times what JMM got paid to get robbed against Chris John.
