    It was a direct message at WildCard. Shane called him out and they offered the fight, then ran from it :patsch

    so your dialogue between shane and pac didn't happen. it was all just your fantasy.

    again...freddie does not and has never negotiated or chosen an opponent for pac.

    Catch weights are bull****. Move up or don't end of story.....So it's ok that a fighter got a bogus win over a weakened or smaller opponent because they signed the contract??? Fighters are in the business to make money so of course they will take a fight where millions are at stake even if they know they are screwing themselves over!These guys have a family that depends on them like everybody else. Turn down one payday and who know when another will come, if ever.The guy with the drawing power making demands to tilt the fight in his favor is a cowards move!It should be discouraged not applauded.But boxing is a sport like any other and fans of fighters using these practice are of course ok with it and have various excuses as to why its "legit".

    Would you give Floyd more credit for taking on Sergio at 158, or not making the fight at all?

    If you challenge Sergio, you fight at 160, period.

    Why, he's happy to come down to 154? Please rank these in terms of how much credit you'd give Floyd for

    1. Fighting Martinez at 154
    2. fighting Martinez at 158
    3. Refusing to answer his challenge

    Martinez would cut off an arm for that Mayweather payday. How is this hard to understand?

    No point in bringing a 40 yr old down.

    ok, so what about anywhere from 155 to 160? Let me guess, Cw no good, 160 too much for Floyd. Yep, we have a vote for 3. :lol:
