    I wouldnt say merely marketing tools.
    Please explain how a fight that is not at the standards of Welterweight can be for the title then. 141-145 is NOT the Welterweight limit and should NOT be for the Welterweight title because of that.
    KS, the rule states welterweight range from 141 to 147 and the welterweight title can be fought between those weight. If the fighters agree not to max out during weigh in at 147 they can do that.

    The catchweight is simply asking both fighters not to max out on the weigh in, but they are still at the welterweight standard.

    No they are not, if they were within the Welterweight standard they could weigh-in at 147. This is a CATCHWEIGHT.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Catchweight implies not at a determined weight class (e.g. Welterweight)
