Mayweather vs Marquez Weigh-In UK-TV

Looking at the weight difference, i feel Floyd will be the first one to KO JMM.

Floyd on fight night will be around 148/149, where JMM will stay around 142/143

 

You could see when Floyd weighed in that JMM was not happy. I hope to god he doesn't regret letting Floyd get away with those extra pounds :good

 

Quite a lot of outrage on the general - the whole first page is about the weigh-in.

Also, on Friday Fight Night, they got the weights mixed up - they said Marquez was 146 and Mayweather was 142

 

Theres a post by TooPretty saying that the fight must have been agreed at 147 not 144 because Mayweather weighed in at 146....rather than the more obvious interpretation that PBF pulled a fast one!atsch

 

from what he stands to earn from this fight and by winning it a mega fight with Pacquiao, then whatever compensation he has had to pay by taking the **** will pay dividends when he wins. Snidy ******* !

 

If you can overlook all his crap outside of the ring, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Floyd's return is simply good for the longevity of our flat lining sport. Case in point: ESPN has put a tab on their website today called "Boxing". Ostensibly this is not a big deal but considering just yesterday it didn't even register under "other" and you had to manually search for "boxing", this is indeed a big deal to us diehards.

 

Its a shitty move but I suppose that really JMMs team should have made the financial penalties stiff enough to deter that move. I guess they didn't do that.....

 

Yeah gaz and slip I agree It is good for the sport he's back and yeah Gaz Marquez should have done so however there may have been a chance that if they'd refused they may have been throwing away a chance at Payday beyond anything they ever did or ever could expect. I feel Marquez's hand has been forced slightly here and its left a bitter taste to be quite honest. I am firmly behind Marquez now :good

Beforehand I wasn't too bothered as I loved both but now I hope Marquez wins

 

I see the fight goin no more than 4 rounds, zero credit to Gay boy Floyd.

 

Thats true Dan, I guess all through negotiations Mayweathers team had the whip hand when terms were being thrashed out.

 

and he can stick his false nicey nicey **** about the UK up his arse as far as im concerned, never have and never will like the guy and tonight is why.

JMM is 10x the man PBF is regardless.

 

Yep. Mayweather should have gone for Berto as a tune up IMO :deal

 

Would you expect anything else from some of the tossers on the general? As for Sky messing up- the casuals won't notice the difference anyway.

I'm not sure what to think about all this. As I've said before, I never once heard PBF OR JMM say that they were fighting at 144- it's only ever something I saw on the forum. Some dude on the general is claiming that JMM couldn't weigh more than 144 but PBF could weigh up to 147:huh; if that's true then that is completely bizarre.

In short, PBF has played JMM here bigtime and I'm less enthusiastic about the fight now, TBH:conf. As Dan said, I'm a PBF fan but if he keeps pulling this bull**** all the time then I might just stop calling myself a fan:bart.

Slip, what you on about with regards to ESPN, mate?

 

Bienvenido a Miami!! South Beach got a decent little card tonight for all you ESPNers with the headliner being Rigondeaux. Can't wait to watch Rigo step WAAYYY up in class and face a vet like Andrade. No secret here as Andrade's 49 ko's are way inflated with South American bums dotting his resume, but all in all this will still be a nice test for this phenom and two time Olympic gold medalist. I believe Freddie will be in his corner tonight so we could see the same check rights like Pacquiao from the southpaw stance.

 

Rigo's opponent has a decent ranking with the WBA I think - they are fast tracking him to a world title for next year.
