What Was Aaron Carter's Weight Going Into His Fight With Lamar Odom?
Celebrity boxing matches are becoming big, big business. Jake Paul and Ben Askren both enjoyed some sizable paydays for their hotly anticipated bout and Jake's older brother, Logan, was able to pull in big bucks after he was able to secure a match up against Floyd Mayweather. But there are tons of other people looking to cash in as well, like former pop star Aaron Carter against two-time NBA Finals champion Lamar Odom . But fans were concerned about the weight discrepancy between the two men. The Tampa-Bay born music artist and OnlyFans personality stands at a billed 6'1 and 165 pounds, which is going to put him at a severe weight disadvantage against Odom who is 6'10 and 229 lbs. That's a 64-pound difference  and it puts the two fighters in two completely different weight classes.

To compare, it would be like Canelo Alvarez facing off against Anthony Joshua, a bout that no athletic commission would ever sign off on.

The exhibition bout between Mayweather and Paul featured a 6-inch height and 30-pound weight disadvantage for "Money," which helped Paul go the distance against the undefeated pro boxer. And the weight discrepancy turned out to be a huge issue for Carter, as many thought it would. The fight took place on Friday, June 12 on Fite.TV with special guest referee Chuck Liddell who did a pretty good job of officiating the fight.

The uploaded footage of him hitting pads didn't really do much to instill confidence in those who watched it. Carter threw winging punches and seemed to be winded after hitting a pad a few times.

But first, there were the walkouts where Carter did the best job that he could to hype himself up. Article continues below advertisement
