Floyd holds ALL the cards. I don't even think it's a money negotiating ploy, but if they were even willing to get a catchweight of 151 Canelo would probably pull in $5 million tops. 147 might get him to Cotto level ($8 million) money.

For $8 million Alvarez takes the 147 fight. He gets the money and a built in excuse for losing.
