    no, to be catchweight king he'll have to come in 3 pounds overweight and tell the other fighter to go **** himself cause he's bringing the money

    Who does that? :huh

    IIRC Mayweather came in 2 lbs over the agreed upon catchweight against Marquez, but still within the welterweight limit. Hmm, I guess that makes him a... welterweight.

    He didn't come in at the agreed catchweight, but instead at his usual weight.
    How does that make him the catchweight king?

    guess you're right, seeing as how mayweather can't even make his catchweights. "money" fails at that to, manny will at least make 151...

    though if pac wants a title at 154, i agree he shouldn't make any restrictions. let margo weigh what he wants

    Of course he'll make it, he's the one who demanded the catchweight.

    which to be honest is silly....why? does he think 3 pounds off margo, who fought comfortably at 147 for years, is gonna make a difference?

    Supposedly Margo struggled to make 147 against Mosley and then didn't fight again for 16 months and came back at 154. So it's possible he could struggle to make 151. You also have to figure that they don't believe they can get Pac up to the 154 limit. So why weigh in 3 to 4 lbs. under the limit and have your opponent weigh in at the limit if you can force him to weigh in at about the same weight as you? Pacquiao has all the leverage here and is using it to his advantage.

    That's funny how everyone mentions how Margo agreed to the catchweight and so it's no problem. Well Marquez agreed to let Mayweather come in two lbs. overweight as long he got $600K, so what's the problem?

    This isnt about floyd u *******. Name 1 title fight mayweather has demanded a catchweight? who cares about catchweight but def not for a world title at stake. It will look bad on his resume all these catchweights and paper titles he gets, does nothing but give his fans a boner.

    It was written into the contract dumbass. If it was in the contract then clearly Marquez knew it was a possiblity that Mayweather would come in over 144 lbs. and he agreed to it. So by your logic, that shouldn't be a problem. Although I don't even know why I'm even discussing logic with you as you don't seem too bright.

    Slap yourself in the head all u want. When did I say titles means nothing to me? Pacs paper title quest means nothing to me, his catchweight bs for titles will be laughed at when its looked back on. He is a good fighter but this doesnt do **** for me . u can have a different opinion or just keep slapping your head

    Exactly, margo would agree to any weight. He just wants to get paid and he is a cheating ****wit so **** him

    Does it even matter? Marge is certified can. His days at the top are over and he is just thankful he can cash out after that handwraping fiasco.
