^147 should be the limit. Meaning 147 is the highest they can weigh in at, but if they choose to weigh less its their decision. Roach was trying to make it at a mandatory catch weight. Meaning even tho its a welterweight fight, they wouldn't allow Floyd to come in at the welterweight limit. That was completely unfair considering they'd be fighting for the welterweight titles. I'm glad he realized how foolish that was.
The 50/50 split or a 60/40 to the winner is the only option i see both fighters agreeing to.
But having a say in the gloves is foolish. Everything should be at an even playing field. A standard size ring, fighters pick their own gloves, etc. This is a fight that should not be tainted with the possibility of excuses from the losing camp.
