  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_weight

  • A weight that two fighters have agreed to fight on. A catchweight is not in an official weight class. For example, if Manny Pacquiao is a Welterweight (147 pounds), and wants to fight Wladimir Klitschko (2+ pounds), Pacquiao probably can’t gain that much weight in little time, and Klitschko will dehydrate himself to get to Pacquiao’s weight. So they agree to a catchweight of 163 or 174 or something like that. Of course, Pacquiao-Klitschko wouldn’t happen for obvious reasons, lol.

  • Ask manny pacquaio he knows.

  • it’s something completely pointless
