    There's no shame in simply not being big enough but don't try to mug people off.

    You want to move up a weight class then you let the opposition fight at what ever weight within that limit they want... otherwise why should you have the right to their belt if it's not at their weight?...

    For example is David Haye trying to get Wlad to fight at a catch weight closer to cruiser weight?

    Is he fuck.

    Roach knows what he's doing and luckily Pac is such a big draw that the money is enough to tempt these guys to weight drain themselves
    The only reason he hasn't asked for that is cuz there is no catch weight between Cruiser and Heavy.
    No wonder you're hard to take seriously... you don't even understand how a catch weight works. (Either that or the mention of a British fighter scrambled your ability to comprehend some simple numbers)

    There's no 'standard' catch weight... it's purely contractual... it doesn't have to be exactly in the middle of two weight classes. It's what ever the two parties agree on.

    pac could ask Mosely for 144 145 146, fuck even 146.9, as long as it falls within the weight division... to fight as a welterweight you just have to be 141+

    Just because the Heavyweight division has no upper limit it does not mean that two parties could agree to fight at a certain weight.

    No Catch weight to fight at?...
    I thought you were a businessman VD? Surely you know that there are quite a few numbers that exist between haye's 200 and Wlad's 245? 44 to be exact.

    Or because you're such a high roller do you only work in 50s?

    But of course this is all hypothetical, my point is that Haye isn't a big enough draw to be able to use $$$ to weight drain Wlad but Pac is more than a big enough draw to tempt any Welter to fight him weight drained and he deserves no respect if he does that.

    The reasons Haye wouldn't have asked for a catch weight is because a) Wlad would just laugh at him... Haye isn't worth that much $$$... how the fuck is he going to dictate to Wlad what he fights at?! and b) because Haye wants to fight Wlad at his best. Not because the numbers:

    201-243

    don't exist as you seem to think.

    Also how could a catchweight happen inbetween a weight class? What number exists between 140 (Light Welter) and ANYTHING over 140 (Welter)? catch weights are made WITH IN weight classes (simply because basic numerical principles make it impossible for them to be made anywhere else) so I don't see how that is a problem in the heavyweight division... given it has a fucking UNLIMTED upper weight.
