Remember Castillo-Corrales rematch weigh-in??

[Cortez The Killer]

First fight: Both weigh-in at 135, back and forth battle, evenly matched. Classic.

Rematch: Castillo weighs in 3.5 lbs over. Diego still fights. Gets knocked out in 4th.



What a stunt

There was no excuse for Castillo coming in at that weight but I honestly think that Corrales was so weight drained any half decent fighter would of destroyed him that night at 135, but dont get me wrong Castillo had a massive advantage. Corrales never made 135 again after that.

So I think this is a big different if thats what your trying to say comparing it to Mayweather/Marquez?

That is why I brought it up.


You are right, it may not be the best example. But I wanted to illustrate an example of how two fighters following the RULES and weighing in at the agreed upon weight can create a completely outcome between fights.



I don't know what the "significant" fine was for Mayweather, but I get the impression he never planned to make the agreed 144 weight to begin with.

If Mayweather never even attempted the weight, we my see a drastically different outcome in the fight than if he did try to make 144.

This article states Mayweather had to pay $600K ($300k per pound) for coming in over weight. Which is four times what JMM got paid to get robbed against Chris John.

Does Marquez get some (or all) of the money though? My first thought was that that was probably the reason he didn't seem too upset at Mayweather. Plus, Marquez strikes me as the sort of guy who would still think he could win if PBF came in at 154.

It goes to Marquez's purse, however it's divided up there, I don't know.

That's good news. I wasn't sure if it went to Marquez or to the commission or Golden Boy or if it was divided between them etc.

according to the article it will be added to the 3.2 million guarantee Marquez has bring his guarantee up to 3.8 million, Mayweather is still guaranteed over 10 million

Its similar in the sense that I don't think either fighter really tried to make the weight because they knew would be better off at a higher weight.
