There's a big difference between the two situations though. One is a fighter coming up in weight, the other involves one coming down. One is (apparently) for part of the welterweight championship of the world, the other is just a regular fight (relatively speaking).

There's a big difference between the two situations, but then again I haven't seen anyone say that JMM is going to be at his best above 140 (or even 135 for that matter), so it's not like this aspect is being ignored, it's just a fight that isn't as popular as a Pac- SMM or Pac - Cotto fight and as such it doesn't evoke as much response.
