    This fight is already complicated to make due to the money now Freddie asking for a catchweight is gonna make it worse. Pac doesnt need catchweights now. Pac can handle Floyd well at 147.

    You guys are getting your panties in a twist. Roach is doing a number of things which he is completely transparent about.

    He is ensuring PBF's people realize that he is serious on the weight issue and if Floyed wants to disregard whatever the contracted weight is, he will have to pay. This is simply a phsych tactic from Roach to Mayweather. He is loudly proclaiming to him "I see your game, I know your game, and I am playing a game too..

    He also stated it is a weight he would like to see. Of course it is. And it increases the chances of Mayweather pulling the **** he pulled in his last fight, therefore giving up more of his namesake.

    If they are the two best fighters out there, let them make a contractual weight. Who cares? I will watch the fight, and so will all of you. This isn't about Manny never wanting to fight at a weight limit at all.

    The match has already started and you guys are missing it.

    Pacquiao is also the current 140 lbs. lineal champ. Does Floyd interested to get that title?

    Obviously not, and it has nothing to do with a WW title fight anyway.

    Roach is a joke. He fought Oscar at 147 and he's bigger than Floyd but he wont fight Floyd there? Enough of this bull**** of making guys come down beat them and get full credit for it. Boxing is sick of this stuff Roach. 147 or no fight.

    Yeah, this fight is not about WW or Jr. WW fight. This is for P4P #1 and Fighter of the Decade. Any sensible contracted weight will do.

    Question for you guys.

    Is the 145 catchweight fair if Pac throws away the WW belt?

    145 or no fight. Pacquiao actually doesn't need Floyd.

    Nope. He has shown he can fight a WW. NO reason why he should be able to focu solely on training while Floyd would have to worry about dropping wight. Pac eats, PBF starves himself. NOt all fighters weigh in the same exact weight as their opponents every fight. That why there is a spread for each weight class.

    Pac still has some 140 belts to throw away.

    apparently this is the only reason why some are mad. pac should throw the belt away and fight at 145. no more reason for some folks to get agitated.
