Change in Bout Status

Corrales vs. Castillo II

 

October 8, 2005

Thomas and Mack Center

Las Vegas, Nevada

 6pm PT \ 9pm ET

 

 

During Friday night's telecast of Solo Boxeo on Telefutura, Promoter Bob Arum appeared as a special guest

on the show - the hosts asked him about the weigh-in for Castillo \ Corrales that took place earlier in the

day. Mr. Arum stated that Castillo came in way over-weight while Corrales made weight. Mr. Arum then

stated that Castillo went to take weight off but when he came back for a second weigh-in, he put weight on.

Mr. Arum then explained that the (Nevada Athletic) commission, rather than cancel the fight, fined Castillo

10% of his purse money, $120, 000.00 - half will go to Corrales, the other half will go to the commission.

Mr. Arum then stated that the fighters will be weighed in the dressing room at 3pm today (Saturday) - each

fighter has agreed to make 147 lbs. (welterweight limit \ lightweight limit is 135 lbs) - for each pound or half a

pound that a fighter is over-weight, they will pay a penalty of $75,000 to the other fighter. The fight is no

longer for Corrales' WBO\WBC lightweight titles.
