Floyd fans, step in here and defend that SOB for not making weight.

word:deal they forget to say jmm had no choice say no lose millions of dollars 8 weeks wasted letting down fans watch if jmm said no im 100% sure the floyd ovary huggers woulda called him a ***** and prob u 2 boob boom.

 

i think that is a bull**** internet myth. here is more likely the truth:

after Friday's weigh in, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer finally addressed the issue, telling ESPN.com, "The fight was contracted as a welterweight fight with an agreed upon weight of 144 pounds. However, there were pre-negotiated weight penalties built in."

Schaefer would not disclose the dollar figure, but another source with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com that the penalty was $300,000 per pound if either fighter was overweight.

Actually Floyd came in at weight. They changed the weight limit to 147 yesterday.atsch

 

Floyd (and his fans) need to:

The contract got changed to 147 and JMM had his contract "beefed up" so that he would agree to it. You guys are acting like JMM's hands are tied or something. He could have told Floyd to go **** himself and than pull out of the fight due to breach of contract.

What the **** is the big deal? they agreed to a weight and than agreed to a change of weight. It's not like FLoyd was at 149 or something ridiculous. JMM could have forced Floyd's hand and made him sweat out the 2 pounds. I guess the Money was more important to the JMM camp.

 

Let me ask u this are u guys mad at Floyd not honoring the contract, or do u think the 2lbs is that much of an advantage, and it will change the outcome of this fight?

 

Marquez's contract had already been filed reading 144 pounds, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer. But Kizer said the bout agreement was retrieved from the commission by Golden Boy Promotions and changed to 147 with Marquez initialing it. - ESPN -

 

What is funny is that you whores act like Floyd bends and breaks the rules all the time.. you got clowns saying "I knew he was going to do that, just to get the advantage" Coming from the fighter that was outweighed his whole ****ing career on fight night in which the weight really counts. They aint fighting at the weight in cronies. Floyd been off for almost two years and you can tell in the off time he put on some muscle so it was harder to cut down and he missed by 2 pounds. I understand that its ****ed up but I doubt it was intentionally as he had a sweat suite on looking like he came from a run. Mosley came in over the limit and had to run it off and come back.

 

Marquez's contract had already been filed reading 144 pounds, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer. But Kizer said the bout agreement was retrieved from the commission by Golden Boy Promotions and changed to 147 with Marquez initialing it.

Kizer said that had the bout agreements not been changed to 147, Mayweather would have faced a fine from the commission in addition to whatever penalty he had agreed to pay Marquez. For being two pounds overweight, Kizer said the penalty would have been 10 percent of his purse, or $1 million. Had he been three pounds over (147 pounds), the figure would have jumped to a 20 percent fine. - ESPN -:deal

 

If it wasn't such a big deal, he would've made the two pounds. You obviously have never cut weight. Shut up.
