The Contracted Weight Was 144!

Because he's going after Pac's leftovers and looking for every advantage against him.

 

jmm does not nearly qualify as left-overs

 

Alright dude. He has fought Pac twice. Lets leave it at that.

 

Against Marquez, Mayweather faces a seasoned, full-time fighter, whose two has a draw and loss to Pacquiao in two fights that he could have easily won. Against Mayweather, he is the underdog, a heavy one, mostly because the former featherweight and lightweight champion has never fought as a welter and presumably won’t be one on Sept. 19. The reported catch-weight is 144 pounds. Marquez predicted in a conference call nearly two weeks ago that he will be at 142 pounds. On the same call, however, Mayweather again would not confirm the reported catch weight.
“Not weighting no 143,’’ said Mayweather, who dismissed reports of the catch weight as rumors. “It’s a welterweight fight. I weigh whatever a welterweight weighs.’’
Apparently, that means Mayweather will weigh whatever he wants. Or maybe it means the biggest weigh-in flap since Jose Luis Castillo. Whatever it leads to, it is just another example of Mayweather’s ability to keep opponents and media guessing, which – truth is – part of the intrigue in the countdown to Marquez.

 

Doesn't justify Juan being contracted at 144, but Floyd being contracted and 147 and less.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez's contract for this fight stipulated he was to weigh no more then 144 pounds at the weigh in. That is in HIS contract.

Floyd apparently never agreed to that weight and 144 NEVER APPEARED in HIS contract for the fight.

So Floyd Mayweather wasn't just playing a game when he refused to divulge the contracted weights. We had confirmation from Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission yesterday that Juan Manuel Marquez, for one, was contracted to weigh 144. But although he came in under that, at a generally solid 142 -- even though it did look as if just a tiny bit of that weight was, shall we say, spare -- Mayweather weighed in at a ripped and lean 146. We'll have to do some digging, but they must have had two separate weight agreements.

According to Floyd, contract weight was for 147 not 144. Said it on ESPN.

 

I thought the agreed weight was 144!!!?? This is some ****ing bull****

 

Look up buddy.

 

* Contractual weight was the 147 pound welter limit, but penalties were written into the contract for excess poundage over 144. ”The penalty [for Mayweather] was a significant amount of money,” said Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer.
