    What's really funny, is that it won't make a bit of difference one way or the other...you can bump in September.

    It likely may not make a difference, but if by chance Canelo weighs in at 154 lbs and catches Mayweather on the ropes and just mauls him to a stoppage victory, you May nutswingers are going to blame Canelo not honoring the contracted weight agreement.

    Mayweather is simply the better fighter, I think most agree......and since the Junior Middleweight title is at stake, here's hopking Canelo up's his chance at victory and comes in at the full 154 lbs weight limit.

    I think even you agree Reppin that Canelo has a slightly better chance if he comes in at the full 154 lbs weight limit! :deal:bbb


    Would be nice to have this happen all over again.
    Strenghth and power is the key to break though a shell defense!

    He's not coming over 152. I'll take any bet now. He'll pay a commission fine and a penalty that Schaefer said is WELL in excess over one million dollars. It would be incredibly stupid for him to do that. Not to mention that there is nothing to suggest he would struggle to make it. Nothing but silly notions from teenage fanboys.

    There's a 7 figure penalty for every pound Canelo is overweight. Schaefer says it's well over a million per pound. That's more than 10% of his purse for every pound he's overweight. No way will Canelo willingly give up that sort of money. If Canelo comes in overweight, it's because he tried like hell to make weight and failed. In that scenario, he'd be ****ed.

    If I was Canelo, I'd prepare with the mindset to make 152 lbs, but
    re-evaluate days before the weighin just how difficult it will be to drop those 2 extra pounds.
    Canelo may decide days out to pay the penalty and take his chances that those 2 extra pounds he'll be carrying will be the difference for victory.

    Paying 2 million in exchance for a much better chance at health and victory may well turn out to be a bargain rate for Canelo Alvarez. The money purses to come from a victory will more than compensate the loss of a couple of million.

    The penalty is well over $1MM per pound. So that could end up being $3,$4,$5+ MM if he comes in at 154. I'd be willing to bet a lot that Canelo comes in at 152 or lighter.

    so i take it you drew up the contract?

    please show us a link where it could end up being 3,4, 5+mm dollars.

    if not, then stfu.

    all we have is schaeffer saying it is over 1mm yet not even 1.1 mm.

    now wheres that fuc-king link saying its going to be "well over 1mm per pound."

    yeah.

    that's what I thought.

    No need to get snippy. I'm not sure why people feel the need to start cursing and trying to act tough just because someone has a different opinion. Schaefer said the penalty is well over $1MM per pound. That could mean $1.5MM, $2MM, or even $2.5MM. We just don't know. Lets say just for the sake of argument it's $1MM per pound. That would be $2MM or 20% of his purse to come in at 154. Canelo is a 23 year old fighter who hasn't had a lot of big pay days. I highly doubt he'll be willing to give up that sort of scratch. $2MM is a shitload of money. A young guy like that can drop weight easier as well. Now since you want to get smart, we can make a side bet on whether or not he makes weight.

    well, what ive read is that the penalty could be "very stiff, huge penalty if he were to come in overweight; well in excess of a million dollars."

    where did you see that the contract stated that it(penalty) is "well over $1mm per pound."

    please show me a link.

    and i would love a bet for $100.00 that canelito does not make 152.

    This is simple math. If it is 2 million penalty and if he wins he makes 10 times more then the 2 millions he just lost in future earnings.

    For people to say that doesn't factor into Canelo's plan is just plain ignorant.

    i reckon that Canelo will do half and half. come in at 153 to give himself a great chance at victory, but i'm not sure he'll pay out the full penalty by coming in at 154. if he did though, it wouldn't be a problem for me. if he wins, he doesn't need to worry about a few Million. the money he'll make after will be huge.

    If it's well over $1 million per pound, then isn't that significantly higher then the penalty for Mayweather for the Marquez fight? Wasn't it $300,000 per pound there? If that is correct, then we're talking 3 or 4 times as much $$ per pound for Canelo going over. Knowing this information, I don't know how anyone can believe that this catchweight wasn't Mayweather's idea.

    :deal correct

    If I were Canelo, I'd rather pay the penalty and have a better chance of beating Floyd.
