Arum To Mayweather......

Pac should stop asking for catch weights. I dont know if he ever has

 

He has had two of his biggest fights at catch weights... And people need to stop sayin DLH wasnt a catch weight..... Yes it was.. WTF. Everybody knows the truth. Its so evident. You have to be a morran to not see

 

The stipulations for fights are a creature of contract. Always have, always will. The commissions only set basic guidelines.

 

Memo to Bob Arum: There is nothing in the rules of the commissions that stipulate that it is against the rules to "request" for additional PED testing. It is considered an allowable request just like $10 million per pound weight penalties, catch-weights, etc.

If Bob is going to use the commission rulebook as the guide, then he should realize that there is no rule against what Mayweather's team requested. Just like there was no rule against requesting a $10 million per pound weight penalty. The commissions already have standard penalties in place for weight violations, do they not?

Bob is being a hypocrite.

 

i don't think delahoya fight is catch weight that's 147

 

' cause floyd cheat his catch weight by 2 lbs over marquez

 

commission set guidelines to follow every state set their on guideline so what's wrong of following it

 

A 154 lb fighter going down a weight class to meet another fighter would be a catchweight.

Its the same thing as Pavlik and Hopkins meeting at 170.

 

welter weight is 147 basic but boxers can request weight lower than basic weight from 141 to 146 theres's nothing wrong with it as long boxers agree to it

 

If you were responding to me: Commissions have specific penalties for coming in over-weight. Why is it ok for Bob Arum and Team Pacquiao to make up their own penalties when the commissions already have penalties in place and NOT ok for Team Mayweather to request their own PED testing when the commissions have PED testing in place? It is the same thing in principle.

You can't say, "this request is ok because the commission allows it," then turn around and say: "this request isn't allowed even though the commission allows it."

They are both "requests" and neither request is against the rules of the commissions.

Both teams requested something beyond the "normal rules of the commissions." The only difference between the requests of the two management teams, in principle, is this: only one side accepted the other team's terms while the other team walked away from the negotiating table.

 

no as long they will agree to it as i say jr middle weight is from 148 to 154

 

I think you are also forgetting about the rehydration clause he is an advocate of...

 

well as i say commission have rules and guideline to follow if you are over basic weight then the commission will penalize you but if you are in contract weight then thats the job of the promoter

 

:good Similiar to what I posted in another thread...

If you have to follow the rules then why is there any negotiating at all? Why not just follow the rules? The truth is you write a contract to appease both parties... A rehydration clause is not a commission "rule" so why did Manny want one for DLH?

Why didnt he want to "Follow the rules" in that particular case? He decided to make up a rule that he wanted to follow and his opponent agreed... So you can't really pick in choose when to "follow the rules" only when you feel it's in your best interest...

There is nothing wrong with doing that...but you can't fall back on principle only when it benifits you. Thats hypocritical...

Make sense?
