The issue with all of the weight divisions and still having to have catch weights. lolol.....
On the one hand, the sanctioning bodies want more weight divisions and belts in those divisions because the multiple divisions ensure that along with more belts they get more sanctioning fees.
On the other hand, catch weights are the only ways we get to see mega stars from other divisions hook it up. So, not every guy can make a particular weight- take for example the dangerous fight Chad Dawson had with Andre Ward. He hurt himself more than he tried to make weight. But, we DID want Mayweather vs. DLH and DLH vs. Manny, and the only way it could have reasonably happened in time is if we had catch weights.
Money is the root of all thing stupid but lucrative!
