    And the Olympic style drug test isn't unreasonable?

    This weight clause applies to both fighter. So I'd say it is more then reasonable. Thats the same ******ed reasoning people gave for the drug test, since it applies to both party.

    Sounds like Pacman is still trying to dictate terms that are to his advantage.

    Mayweather, don't be his Huckleberry !!!!

    Mayweather should tell Pacquiao to go **** himself if this is true. This is a WW title fight. If Mayweather is overweight, he would be given two hrs. to lose the weight according to the rules. According to that website, Floyd would have to pay $10 mill if he came in at 147.1 lbs. Dirrell came in slightly overweight against Froch. Hell, Spinks came in slightly overweight against Taylor. There is a reason they have the two hr. rule in championship fights. If this was a catchweight fight with no belt on the line, this would make some sense. Given that it's a title fight that's taking place at the WW limit, a penalty clause for going overweight is unneccessary. The $10 mill is of course ludacris and no one with half a brain would agree to that. I'm going to just assume that this rumor is bull****.

    That one fight being his last. Some feel it was planned. I doubt that, but I see no problem with this. Both have plenty of time to make weight so this should really be a non issue. Kind of like an insurance policy.

    What I want to know is if he wants any restrictions on the weight on fight night.


    Id also want to know if there is any truth that he gave Cotto restrictions for his weight on fight night same with DLH.


    PBF can make 147 at the weigh in no problem so its a non issue. But 10 million is silly. It can be negotiated to 2 million or something that is atleast reasonable.

    I love it. These camps are far from done with the "gamesmanship". We're going to see a lot more before the day, probably. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
