It has been confirmed that this is true. It is down right embarassing that he even had the audacity to ask Manny to go up to 154 and use 10 oz gloves. It makes you think that he scared of Manny's speed at 147 or probably with his power with 8 oz gloves. http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-...Obstacles-to-Manny-vs-Money-weight-and-gloves Add the 60/40 purse... it almost makes you believe he is ducking Pacman. I hope he agrees with the 147 lbs (no catch weight BS), 8 oz gloves, and 50/50 purse split. If he does not agree, well I say he is ducking Pacquiao, plain and simple.
When you want to buy a car, you don't go to the salesperson and say "Hey! I have $40,000. What can I buy?" It's called negotiating.
i really don't understand the 154 with 10oz. gloves thing... it must be some kind of bs from the mayweather camp. he can't honestly be expecting that to happen.
ESPN, Dan Rafael, Arum, Mayweather's Camp have all said PBF agreed to 147 and that's what was sent to Manny. This is 100% False.
Amazing what **** people start on Mayweather just to talk out of there ass...despite always saying he ducks people i do believe he agreed to this fight first and got it all rolling
"If the deal is completed, the bout would be contested at 147 pounds for the welterweight title, a source told ESPN.com's Dan Rafael." http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4712939
