Remember Castillo-Corrales rematch weigh-in??

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.

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.

This is completely different than Castillo-Corrales. Corrales was completely drained making the weight. Neither fighter is drained in this match. Mayweather came in about the same weight he always does at welterweight. And Marquez probably came in about where he felt most effective as a fighter instead of trying to gain the 2 more unnecessary pounds. PBF should have honored the 144 agreement. He could have made that weight without risking draining his body too much. But at least Marquez gets more money for it.

We will see what they weigh in at for the fight if they do that(which I hope they will force FLoyd to do) He usually doesn't put on weight for fights, I mean he put on 1 pound against Sharmba Mitchell from the weigh-in to the fight, he put on 0 pounds against Zab Judah from weigh-in to the fight, he put on 3 pounds against Baldomir, He allegedly only put on 3-4 pounds when he faced Hatton who was 5-6 pounds heavier than him come fight time.

[OumaFan]

yes that will be telling. If he just puts on a couple pounds then its pretty clear he didn't really attempt to make 144.
