Arum To Mayweather......

You just contradicted yourself.

The contracted weight was 147 pounds, the welterweight limit. Coming in over welterweight has penalties that are enforced by the various commissions. Adding extra penalties is no different than adding extra testing. They both go beyond what the commission requires.

It has nothing to do with the promoter other than the fact that a promoter, Bob Arum, walked away from the negotiating table.

 

Its the same thing as the example I brought up earlier. Plain and simple...there is something you want that is not covered by the commision. Whether its a rehydration clause or additional drug testing. Neither is a rule of the commision or required by the commission.

Nobody ever anwers this reasoning...is it far fetched? :huh

Seems like common sense to me...

 

this

 

Fraud has as many catchweight fights as Pac. But unlike Fraud, Pac did not show up 2 pounds over the agreed weight limit.

 

you're an idiot


nm

 

Because Oscar was a jr middleweight jackass. And hadnt fought as a welterweight in YEARS seven years that is. And oddly enough he came in at 145 which just happens to be the weight that Pac keeps demanding that fighters come in at.

 

Who did Floyd fight at a catchweight???? :huh

 

JMM, not that it was for Mayweather's benefit.

 

Pac's team negotiated a 24 days cut off for testing and Schaefer and Haymon agreed to it but Floyd didn't. Floyd insisted on 14 days cut off date. It seems that Floyd is the odd one out here.

 

ok, first...were you there? are you taking arum's word on what GBP agreed to?


also, your reply has nothing to do with the part you bolded

 

Pac is hype..when he loses his fans will quit making some stupid idea that he is a top 30 or 40 atg..he barley cracks the top 50 and on top of that his career is looked at by the casual fan as one that is tainted with steroid use

 

The Pac-ODLH was agreed at 147, not a catchweight but a legit WW fight and it was Oscar who asked Pac to move up to fight him at that weight. Cotto's the only catchweight that Pac had fought so far!

 

But Void thinks he is bigger than boxing! Void wants to make all the rules of boxing to his order.

 

Couldn't think of any because Floyd had cleverly "forced" the little guys he had fought to move up to his weight!

 

A lot of guys here are hypocrites. You say PBF can make the rules as Pac makes his own rules about catchweights(same amount as PBF) yet you blame Pac for not agreeing to PBF demands. How many of you guys would blame Clottey or Mosley if they refused "pac's demands" of a catchweight of say 144? Exactly. You guys would all be on Mosley or Clottey's side saying things like "stick by the rules". Yet in this instance, Pac is just going by the rules and you guys blame him?

The stipulations a fighter may set is up to them, but dont force opponents to accept them.
