After all the commotion, negotiations and an eventual side deal, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who signed to fight Bryan Vera at 168 pounds, was 172.4 pounds at Friday's weigh-in at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. Vera weighed in at 171.2 pounds. A side deal between promoters and the fighters was made earlier in the week to raise the limit to a maximum of 173 pounds when Chavez was clearly not going to make 168. In order to raise the weight limit, Vera and his promoter Artie Pelullo will share a six-figure additional payment to what they are already getting for the fight.
