I got a question for you? Who demanded for this fight to be made?

For sure, it's not the governing bodies since it's not like someone is the mandatory challenger of some champion. Hope you have now an idea why weight class and governing bodies plays a little role in this particular rare special match up.

145 lbs. is not a ridiculous weight. It's only 1 lb. from each boxer's last weigh-in weight.
let me throw a 1 lb bag of sugar at your head and then tell me 1 pound is nothing, and WBC had nothing to do with the Pac/Cotto fight yet they found a way to squeeze in there
145 is the midpoint weight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, why can't we agree on that? It's the most logical and fair weight for this fight to happen.

The governing bodies tried to squeeze themselves in these super fights to keep their belts in the limelight.

It's not the governing bodies who demanded that Mayweather-Pacquiao should be made. It's us, boxing fans who wanted/demanded for this fight.
