come on man, i love floyd but this is unprofessional and disrespectful. 2 pounds is a big difference: it means he didn't have to bust his ass QUITE as much to get down in weight, which was one of the only neutralizers and advantages marquez had. floyd just spit in his face with this stunt; i thought he was better than that.
I will say this though, I have seen worse incidents, like when James Toney got to keep his IBF MW title despite coming in .25 lb over the MW limit
get your facts straight!!! Mayweather has never gained a pound but actually lost weight from weigh in to fight night for every fight over 145.
has it ever been 100% stated it was at 144? I read in the ring it was likely to be at 147. However juding by the reactions awterwards, something isnt right
Dan Rafael is saying the contract was re-negotiated yesterday and Marquez's camp agreed to it and got paid a penalty fee.
Marquez is getting paid more now for Floyd to be able to come in over 144, still bull****. **** you Floyd.
ESPN just reported just now the contract was adjusted last night to the 147lb limit, with Marquez to be paid a disclosed amount for every pound over 144. It looks Floyd realized he wasn't going to make weight, and pulled a last minute fast one.
