PBF vs JMM : What's the real weight??

Yes for asking too big a purse he's not deserving with against a small low risk opponent... JMM's fault is by short selling himself and giving Floyd all the advantages that makes the fight a huge mismatch...

Now, they're having problems convincing people to buy their mismatch fight...

"Nacho Beristain, trainer/manager of Juan Manuel Marquez, says the weight for the September 19 bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. will present them with some problems but they are taking the proper steps to overcome those problems. The fight will take place at a catch-weight of 144, although there are conflicting reports of the fight being bumped to 147.

Marquez is moving up from lightweight by nearly two weight divisions.Nacho told ***********.com's Jose Aguirre that he plans to make Marquez into a much stronger fighter. He does admit that Marquez will be a few steps slower and that might be an even bigger problem when you consider the speed of Mayweather.

"Without a doubt, the weight is a disadvantage. We have to work hard at it. Juan Manuel will be strong. He have time to make him a strong guy to put everything that we need to put into him. Maybe he will be a little slower than before but certainly he will have the skills," Nacho said."
