    Out of principle, considering Marquez was already outweighed, Mayweather should have come in as light as possible. Namely 144lbs.

    You know what im trying to get at though Jeff.

    Yeah.

    I mean even Guzman's biggest fans were Pissed at him.

    Yet PBF fans think PBf gets a free pass and did nothing wrong. Worst thing is he never even tried.

    I remember Castillo busting his guts to try and make weight when he came in overweight.

    PBF was like who cares they will change thhe contract clause like they did so it wont matter.

    Yet PBF fans thinks its all cool.

    There's nothing wrong playing hard ball during negotiations and you're asking what's rightfully due to you...

    What's shameful and unprofessional if you signed a contract, revised the contract one day before the fight, then still didn't follow the contract... then got penalized...

    That's shameful and unprofessional...:hi:

    Hey, I wasn't happy about it one bit. I know he did it on purpose. What I was trying to explain to Buxzer is why I think he did it, along with not being weighed on fight night.

    Pac backed out of a signed contract. I don't care that he did, but you think he can do no wrong.

    Yeah :good The whole thing was BULL****.

    JMM got ****ed.

    PBF milked a already corrupt system. Look and he knew he would get away with the **** because it was such a big fight.

    Like Juan said in his Post Presser.

    He might fight Hopkins next. :D

    To answer your question, yes. He is penalized by a few petty fans.

    Anyone can apply the sort of circular reasoning you described to a guy like Floyd, but what matters is that he is a supreme athlete and boxer and still unbeaten.

    See before I think you could have said it was "perfectionism" or something like that. Now we know he's overly preoccupied with not getting hit - because he does get hit. He was running from a Jr. Lightweight. He's defense first, everything else second. It's unmistakable now. The "perfectionist" thing went out the window last night.

    Actually thats the only positive thing he has going for himself. I think everyone respects his work ethic. The best in boxing. He doesnt drink or smoke. But its his douchebaggery that puts us off.
