Mayweather has already won the mental fight....

maybe. but floyd loses big time money wise. not only will he lose $20 million if pac cancels the fight, he will lose more as pac pursues him with a lawsuit

also who will floyd fight that will give him big money now that he started this roid test ****. i doubt mosley? druggie zab wont either. even matt hatton will test positive with illegal amounts of guiness.

in the end, floyd just cut his nose to spite his face what with the IRS chasing him for unpaid amounts.

 

On the contrary, what I've read from the news was, Floyd was penalized $600,000 for coming in 2 pounds over the agreed contracted weight ($300,000 per pound penalty).

Floyd is unprofessional and disrespectful of not trying to make weight. He's a cheater.

 

On the contrary you are wrong.

Mayweather's contract with 147 pounds was not filed with the commission until minutes before the weigh-in. Kizer said it was supposed to be filed on Wednesday.


Kizer said the Mayweather camp asked to file it Thursday and he said OK, but that deadline also came and went.
"We were very unhappy with the lateness of Mr. Mayweather's contract," Kizer said.


Kizer said that had the bout agreements not been changed to 147, Mayweather would have faced a fine from the commission in addition to whatever penalty he had agreed to pay Marquez. For being two pounds overweight, Kizer said the penalty would have been 10 percent of his purse, or $1 million. Had he been three pounds over (147 pounds), the figure would have jumped to a 20 percent fine.

 

Granting that's the actual case, who in their right mind change a fight contract one day before the fight? Who offered money to their opponent just to agree a very late contract changes? Only cheaters, right? It's still a form of cheating and they're still cheating.

They did not even divulge the fight weight until the very last minute before the weigh-in. They're cheaters plain and simple.

 

MM Makes Weight, Floyd Sort Of Does: Mayweather 146, Marquez 142

By Michael Woods

We are just about good to go. Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez both made weight on Friday afternoon at the weigh in ceremony taking place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Floyd (39-0; from Michigan; six time titlist in five classes) stepped on the scales and weighed 146 pounds , while Marquez (50-4-1; from Mexico; three time titlist) was 142 pounds for the non-title clash.

“I’m very, very happy, that’s the weight we wanted to weight,” Marquez said after the weigh in. “It’s a very difficult fight but not impossible.” We’d all been under the assumption that this would be a catchweight fight, at 144 pounds or under, but Mayweather last week said that a catchweight was not in play, and he cemented that by weighing 146 pounds. The men doing the broadcast, Col. Bob Sheriden and Dave Bontempo, completely abdicted their responsibilty to so much as masquerade as journalists, and didn't delve into Floyd's weight AT ALL. ESPN's Dan Rafael reported that the contract for the fight does indeed call for Mayweather and Marquez to weigh 144 or less. But Floyd apparently blew the contract off. Thus, sources told Rafael, Floyd will be fined $600,000, $300,000 for each pound, for being overweight.The overage will go into Marquez' share of the purse, believed to be over $3 million. It's a drop in the bucket for Floyd, who is supposedly guaranteed $10 million, and could make more from PPV proceeds. This move, flouting the contract, will not win Mayweather more fans, or cause those on the fence who felt that he had a point when he said he gets less respect than a white fighter of similar talent would, to look at him with newfound respect. USA Today's Michael Falgoust said that the weight change was above board, that the Nevada commission was consulted the day of the weigh in, and that Marquez agreed that Floyd could blow off the previously agreed-to contract weight, in exchange for a fee. Falgoust said the overweight penalty was $500,000. Fans, at least those who aren't prone to seeing Mayweather through rose-colored glasses, are wondering why Floyd felt compelled to weigh more than 144; is he worried that he'll need some extra oomph against the Mexican?

There goes your new contract.

He just conned Divac's favorite guy right there.

 

:good:good Good job. Expose the cheaters in boxing. Floyd and GBP are all cheaters. If they just announced that the contracted fight weight will be 147, not so many fans will be conned in buying that so much mismatched fight.

 

Those are my feelings that I can express in this forum. Everyone else here does the same. What I think doesn't affect the outcome of things though . That's fact.
