They are an inevitable compromise when you have two fighters of different size trying to fight each other.

ok

the discussion we are having is not around who has bent what rules

the title of the thread is - Pacquiao makes fighters lose on the scales 1st

so the question could be - Are the demands pacquiao making on his opponents affecting they're performances on fight night?

another way of asking the question could be - By all means make a catchweight, but is it fair when a fighter with a bigger name in boxing is getting a bigger advantage from the catchweight?
