The real reason for the day before weigh-ins.

I'm one that never thought it was truly about concern for safety, the real reason behind weighing in the day before the fight was (IMO) just about getting some coverage/press release the night before. They want the 20 seconds on Sportscenter...............if one guy ends up being two weight classes heavier the next night, I seriously doubt they care.

The EVENT before the event....last opp for selling tickets before the "walk-up crowd".

Good point.
