Would you rather Jose Aldo vs McGregor at a catchweight, or the full limit?


A shortcut isn't telling someone, "hey, I'm not going to be able to fight 5 lbs under the weight..we just gonna have to do it at the full weight limit".


And his opponent has fought at the weight more than Broner has anyways (147)

If Jose and Conor agree to fight 145 (FW limit in MMA), then I expect both to make that weight. You sign a contract at a specific weight, you're job is to make that weight. That's it, no other way around it.

What Broner did is def taking a shortcut, don't see how you can see it any other way. But you're a huge Broner fan, so it's :manny:

Here is what the participants had to say Thursday from the Cintas Center:

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO of Mayweather Promotions

“We’re very excited to be here in this wonderful city. It’s a great boxing town with a history of very good fighters from this area. Saturday night is an outstanding show from top to bottom.

“Both of the Adrien/Adrian’s know each other very well. You want to watch Adrien Broner Saturday night. He’s going to put on a phenomenal performance that I can’t wait to see.

“From top to bottom this is an incredibly exciting card and we’re excited to work with About Billions to give boxing fans another great event.”

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports

“At SHOWTIME our mission is to bring fans the biggest, best and most meaningful fights in boxing. This Saturday is no exception. These are three all-action and evenly matched fights. This is our third time in Cincinnati with Adrien Broner and this is the strongest card we’ve had here yet.

“When we announced our slate of winter fights, there was one event that I circled and said, ‘this is going to be the sleeper.’ This is an all-action card.

“Adrian Granados and his team did not hesitate one bit to jump at this fight. We know what type of fighter Adrien Broner is. He is a guy who will never shy away from a challenge. Whether you like him or not, Adrien always entertains and he always fights hard. I can’t wait for a great night on Saturday.”
