Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo were supposed to meet for the lightweight title. Instead, there will likely be a couple of welterweights in the ring tonight in Las Vegas for one of boxing's most anticipated rematches in years.

After a weigh-in bizarre even by boxing standards, the promoters managed to salvage the fight that appeared in jeopardy after Castillo weighed in well over the 135-pound lightweight limit.

They did it by deciding on having another weigh-in for Castillo about five hours before the fighters enter the ring tonight. Castillo will have to weigh in at 147 pounds or pay Corrales $75,000 for each pound over that weight.
