Pac wants a $10 million penalty??? u cant be serious!

Only an idiot would make a thread about a moot point.

 

A lot of people would flat out refuse to fight at all if the opponent can't make weight.

 

Source? And over what weight?

 

Sounds fair considering Floyds history

 

Hes just trying to make sure that fraud doesnt pull the same stunt as he did with JMM.

 

So if there's lots of money involved, cheating's okay?

 

This is pac come back from floyd demanding olympic style drug test.

 

id say thats fair. either that or cancel the fight.

 

Floyd won't weigh in over 147 anyway, so it's irrelevant but a fair enough demand.

 

Anyway, 47 post (most likely alias) n00b has yet to come up with a source.

 

heres the demands the TS is talking about from f....news :

For fear of being outsmarted by Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, by way of his lawyer Franklin Gacal, said in a text message late Tuesday night in the Philippines that the Filipino fighter will be “demanding a penalty of $10 million per pound or a fraction thereof over and above 147 lbs during the weighin” in relation to the March 13, 2010 fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Gacal, however, made it clear that the “penalty applies to both fighters”, meaning if Pacquiao fails to make weight, he will also be forced to cough out the same amount.

Against Juan Manuel Marquez last September, Mayweather was compelled to pay Marquez a total of $600,000 for coming in at 146 lbs. The agreed weight was 144 lbs. Mayweather went on to beat the overpowered Mexican on a lopsided 12-round decision. It is unclear if Mayweather will agree to what appears to be an over-the-top demand by Team Pacquiao. Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions are staging the fight and a formal annoucement is being awaited anytime this week. Both fighters are guaranteed a purse of $25 million each and their total earnings can go up to as high as $40 million apiece.

 

He has, and I've just looked at it.
