The catchweight part of the floyd marquez fight seems unfair to me

    Im not whining,('whining','crying',whats wrong with you guys?)I just started a thread thats all.
    Marquez accepted the terms but I still think its unfair.He HAD to accept to get a career high payday.
    I also think it was unfair the way Floyd had to concede BS concessions to Oscar to get that fight and bumper payday too,so its not an anti Floyd thing as such.

    dude,

    Though obviously I'm not a JMM lover, hats of to JMM for taking this fight!
    JMM going up 8lbs and pbf only going down by 3 lbs..

    and some fans say..pbf is not a cherry picker!!!!!

    PBF always fight in his comfort zone!

    No cotto, no margarito fight prior to his brick issue LoL! No mosley!

    these were real threats but they were NEVER in PBF's radar even prior to his
    so called retirement!

    I'm a boxing fan more than a non-JMM lover!

    I'd would like the underdog to win!

    GO jmm!!!!

    PS. Is it really silvermags talking?!:lol:

    On fight night they are going to be lbs apart at best.

    Why don't you complain about the huge advantages Cotto, Margo or Williams bring to fight at WW.

    dude,

    pbf always fights in his comfort zone! hatton was a beast at 140 while pbf was in his comfort zone at 147. Why there's no catch weight?

    PBF never fought somebody and he'll be called underdog!?!

    eze i never understand what you mean by all this cutting weight stuff

    Pacman weighed 138 in the weigh in vs Hatton, but on fight night he weighed 148, why was he 2lb's lighter than the limit?

    Hatton didn't weight anymore against Floyd than what he did against others at 140.

    The catchweight is fair. I don't blame Mayweather for not moving too far down from what's been his comfort zone against another fighter calling him out, but I wouldn't have blamed Marquez for turning it down either. I thought the weight difference was too much for the fight to get signed period.

    He cut too much or let's say he got there quicker than expected and then went the rest of the time without drinking or eating. Thus further losing weight.

    Hatton weighed 154 against Floyd. Hatton weighs 152 at Jr WW. I know he's weighed 154 at Jr WW before.

    and for the hoya fight why did he weigh in 142 and come in 148? wouldn't it be better if he came in around 147?
