This is nothing like the Corrales fight. Mayweather could have tried to make the agreed weight but thought better of it in the long run he wanted to keep all the advantages his way.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
That has been mentioned already and I agreed it wasnt a picture perfect example..
My point was trying to illustrate how much of an advantage this will be for Mayweather, how if he made 144 we could possibly see a much more competitive fight than we will now. I used that example to show both making weight and a competitive fight to the wash out the rematch was when Castillo didn't make weight. I posted this when it was widely circulated that 144 was the weight in contract, guess it was more complicated than that.

"....For all intents and purposes, this is a lot like Corrales-Castillo II, where Castillo came in overweight and Corrales took extra money to take the fight anyway. The heavier Castillo stopped Corrales (who had broken his tail to make 135 pounds) early in one of the least satisfying rematches you'll ever see."
So I'm reading about the fight, trying to find a stream for the 24/7 Overtime, and get a link to badlefthook.com where a mere 2-3 hours after I posted the Castillo-Corrales II similarities some site writer posted it midway down his article. Little did he know at the time my idea would be misunderstood and claimed completely wrong by the posters here. ™
May he suffer the same wrath. I wonder if I was plagiarized™
From now on i am going to trademark my posts™
anyways, it won't matter after tomorrow.
Im going to start drinking in preparation for the bout![]()
