Kellerman.........

I mean the rules of making weight for each respective division. Welterweight is anything up to 147lbs yet the rules are being changed for the Pac Cotto fight and the 'welterweight' title is on the line therefore 147lbs should be the maximum weight.

 

The welterweight title isn't on the line, a minor alphabet strap is though. How much credence do you pay that? Catchweights are not unprecedented in the sport, you're acting as if Cotto is being forced into this fight. Cotto will be getting a career high payday plus the opportunity to get his career back on track. Pac is "the man" right now, he's in a position to make certain demands. No one has to agree to them though.

 

Dan-B whilst I agree with you. The agreement WAS made that no title would be on the line. Pac and his team then threatened to pull out if they wouldn't put the title up. **** move but you do what you do. The real ones at fault in this matter are the WBO. They are sanctioning one of their title fights being made at a different limit to the ones set out in their very onw sanctioning rules.

Pac shouldn't have thought he could get away with it.
Cotto if not happy shouldn't fight

But the WBO are the biggest joke (no suprise) in the matter by changing the weight limits for their title fights

 

Lot's of "title" fights have happened at catchweights. As much as I'd like to get stuck into the WBO here, they're not breaking any rules. They're ranking of Pac as number one at 147 was pretty ridiculous though.

 

Well I was under the impression Cotto was being made to put his belt on the line. My bad.

Still think Cotto is playing a very dangerous game with regards to his weight as we have all seen how bad he is when drained. The difference is like night and day.

 

HBO must be a little pissed at Kellermen when they look back at it...

As far as promotion goes, they could have built the whole fight around that interview if Kellermen hadnt been such a *****..

 

that whole Shane incident was Tarver in Roy's press conference. Hagler calling out Ray after his fight (list goes on) that's how you hype a fight. Max is too raw/stupid for this a good reporter embrace's that moment not runs from it.

 

When PBF eye-balled him and he then called for Jim, I thought he was going to burst into tears like a kid!!!

 

Kellerman use to be Floyd's lawyer on FNF's lol but Floyd hurt is feelings and he bitched up! To his credit though he's not a real journalist. He's a fan who begged ESPN to do a boxing show and he never looked back so props to his career path but he still froze. He didn't deliver the most important question. I remember Hector Camacho going off on one and they let him because he was helping the network sell a fight.

 

HBO should sack him, hes a waste!!

 

:rofl

 

Kellerman, he had the chance for an ATG interview, all the ingredients were there. He acted like a big Diva though, & thought he was more important than the p4p no1. A sackable offence IMO, as his ego robbed us the fans of a memorable face-off between Mayweather & the jealous Golden boyers.

As for Mosley, I seen JT say that his body language was all business, I wouldnt be as kind as that, I thought Mosley acted like a bit of a ***** to be honest, trying to steal Floyds thunder.
I used to like Mosley, but he was an arrogant ass when he beat Mayorga, & now hes storming in & ruining Mayweathers moment.

I cant wait to see Mayweather punish him now. Be careful what you wish for sugar!

 

People exagerate.

Kellerman ain't no Merchant but he didn't screw up like people make it sound.

 

So you didnt want to hear Money Mayweathers verbal to & fro with Goldenboys goons & their last throw of the dice, mouthy Mosley?

Cos thats what Kellerman did. He ****ed it all up cos he wanted to be the star of the show. Now I love myself, but by goodness, if I was standing between Mayweather & Mosley, I would have known my place & let them go to town with my mic.
Cos at the end of the day, I know no matter how opinionated I am, its the fighters people want to hear the most. Not me.

& thats where Max failed. Its a sackable offence IMO to try & overshadow the fighters. Kellerman acted like a Diva "Its my mic!!!" **** off Kellerman. I used to respect you until you respected yourself more than the p4p no1 on the PLANET.
He has to go.

 

Dunky, how did you feel about all the stuff Mayweather had said about Mosley in that Brian Kenny interview? Also, doesn't Mayweather always whinge that the likes of Cotto and Pac don't call him out directly? I don't see why anyone would have a problem with what Shane did unless they're not interested in seeing that fight.

Anyone thinking this will hold up a May v Pac fight needs to think again. There's an even bigger, more arrogant man who will get in the way of that fight and his name aint Shane Mosley.
