You failed to mention the whole context.

THAT WAS BECAUSE FLOYD WANTS IT AT 160 LBS.

So it is a negotiation strategy!!

Here is the interview:

Fred, the entire galaxy wants Manny to fight Mayweather next. What would be the biggest challenge in making this happen?

FR – The biggest challenge will be to get Mayweather to agree to the terms of the fight. I would like to see the fight at 145 lbs. and Mayweather will go for 160 lbs. The terms of the fight would have to have a clause that includes penalties for coming in overweight. He needs us, so if he wants to fight at a heavier weight then he will have to pay for it.
