    So basically JMM will give at least 6 lbs. of weight advantage to PBF on fight night... Is 6 lbs. really an advantage?

    PBF and JMM don't care about the sales. That would be GBP.

    PBF is estimated to have a 15 million dollar purse and JMM in th e3 million range. That should be gauranteed money. So why would either boxer care?

    Goldie on the other hand is a different story. This is a lost and he knows it. He is now trying to see what he can do to get out with as little lost as possible.

    Of course it's advantage but nothing huge.

    Floyd givens up more than 6lbs in his last 3 fights.

    **** Baldomir outweighed him by like 13-15lbs.


    DLH was probably near 160 like he normally is at 154.

    And Hatton was 154.

    Okay?

    So he has to have a tune up?

    I would prefer him to but times running short on him to still get credit for Mosley.

    ok. 149-150 for dlh.

    after weighin, he lost more weight. the operative term there is "could".

    can you name me fighters who lost weight even after the weigh-in? in my almost 25 years of being a boxing fan, i don't recall this being "not uncommon".:D

    That would be nice... and JMM fights PAC's leftover Ricky Hatton... Finally we got 2 great match-ups here, not a mismatch like PBF-JMM... Scrap PBF-JMM mismatch fight NOW!!

    More like a flux, he could of gained or lost a lb.

    Fighters rarely do what Floyd does with weigh ins. and thats fight at the actual weight he weighs in at.

    Ill have to find video proof of it. Give me a moment.

    You're wrong here... PBF do care about the sales... Mayweather Promotions is the lead promoter for this fight... GBP is just the secondary co-promoter...

    Fight expenses were building up fast... Promo tour, fight ads, 24/7 production expenses... and the fight not selling well... Big headache for Mayweather Promotions...

    PBF being outweighed heavily by his previous opponents and still wins... This is a rare situation where PBF outweigh this poor small boxer JMM... Imagine what will PBF do to this poor small boxer?? Toy him around could be a possibility...

    Maybe he has a share in the bill but that still leaves JMM. He has no vested interest other then making his 3 million and winning. Why would he bend over backward and take it in the ass? He can say NO. If they dojn't agree he gets his 3 mill and fight someone else.

    not uncommon for fighters who weigh in like Mayweather.
