That statement doesn't make sense. To get Floyd to agree to the fight because there was speculation that Floyd wouldn't fight Canelo, Canelo offered a catchweight. When the negotiations for the fight started, Floyd first wanted the fight at 147! They agreed at 152 to accommodate Floyd. In the ideal world, Canelo would fight at 154, not 152. Thus, the catch weight favors Floyd. It is hypocritical of Floyd because of the grief he gave Pacquiao on the catch weight for the Cotto fight. Yet, here he is doing it. Of course, this is the second time Floyd has signed to fight at a catch weight. In my opinion, Floyd thought this fight merited a catch weight whereas with Cotto, he didn't think he needed it.
