1.Mayweather wants Pacquiao to agree to his contractual demands regarding random testing yet does'nt stick to his agreed contract weight against Marquez and disregards the signed contract terms. 2.Pacquiao apparently wants to weigh in at 144lb against Clottey; Is this unfair? or does that fact that Clottey will probably outweigh Pacquiao by at least 14lbs in the ring negate the weigh in "advantage"
Both examples are unfair really. The differance is that Pac fights bigger, stronger guys that have a real chance of beating him. I can never forgive Floyd for the Marquez fiasco.
Both unfair. But Marquez was compensated for PBF not making weight. As was agreed in the contract. I think Clottey Pacquiao is gonna be a 147 from what I've read. If not the that would be really unfair because Clottey struggles to make 147 let alone 144. What I think is really unfair is the use of PEDs...
Who the **** cares how much Clottey will outweigh Pac. They are both fighting in the WW division. If Pac feels at a disadvantage, **** him - go back to a lower weight. If he indeed does fight Clottey at a catchweight, Pac is a certified *****. Who else has fought two consecutive fights at a catchweight? Ridiculous. :verysad
Marquez's compensation was Mayweather's spare change. Pac's just an idiot. I don't respect either fighter anymore.
Both are fair. Marquez got compensated & could have probably pulled out if he'd really wanted to. If Clottey agrees to a catch-weight, thats his choice.
Pac has a WW belt now. Normally the catchweight is for a smaller guy moving up to fight the champ there but now that he is the one with the belt and defending it against a guy who is in the same division there is no need for a catchweight. 147 was fine when he was fighting DLH but now all of a sudden its too big for him because in order to weight drain clottey he would have to go a few pounds below that. I am hoping it doesnt happen. The stupid thing about the cotto fight is I dont believe there was any point to it. Cotto was 146 in the clottey fight weigh in so what is the point in forcing him to go to 145 when manny already fought at 147? Its stupid because Pac would have won regardless and he isnt given as much credit as he would have if he beat cotto at 147.
Wether you want to believe it or not 1 -2lbs makes a huge difference when it takes eveything you got to make 147 in the first place. What other logical explanation could there be for asking him to come 2lbs under,except for that they knew it would weaken him.
He thought it would weaken him. It didn't. Hasn't Cotto himself said there was no problem. He felt fine. Pac was just too quick?
