I'm afraid the weight issue is a big thing, a friend of mine Rosi Sexton fought Gina Careno, the weights were agreed but Gina still came in overweight. Rosi and Karl Tanswell her trainer had flown over to the States, paying for flights and accomodation themselves. When Karl queried Gina's weight he was told that if Rosi didn't fight they wouldn't get paid, it was a simple as that. If you wish I will give you Karl's details and you can ask him yourself.
There was a weight difference and yes it does make a difference. the weigh-ins ins and the fighting weight of fighters is something fighters and reputable promoters take very seriously. As you said fighters will fight at heavier than their weigh in weight so just how bigger was Gina?
I have considerable experience with weigh ins and promoting fights so please don't tell me what I think thank you. Look up Pride & Glory Ultimate Fighting on Sherdog, that's us. We've done over 30 fight nights as well as taking fighters to all the other shows in the UK as well as some in Europe.
