What's the deal with you Floyd?????!!!

He'll pay his fine and I am glad you're not in support of this bull****.

Whatever, I'm still watching this fight solely on the fact that JMM looked ridiculously good at this weight, although if thats what boxing was about, then Jeff Lacy would've been an ATG.

 

Did Floyd try to make weight and that's as close as he could get? Or did he just say, ****it, and plan to come in and whatever weight he wanted? Who cares what anyone says?

 

Yes, because this is the first time a fighter has come in overweight, right?

 

Contract said 147, with a fee for every pound over 144.

 

That is the million dollar question:rofl

 

No it sucks every time it happens.

JLC was blasted by media and fans for not making weight against Corrales.
I don't see why Floyd should get a free pass when he's obviously ****ed JMM over.

 

I agree. I don't like it but he couldn't make the weight. JMM could have pulled out if he wanted to. I guess being away for 2 years made it harder for him to get down to 144.

 

like i said on the other thread it is a very smart tactical move by floyd too intentionally miss the weight after all wtf is jmm gonna do ? call off the fight and lose the biggest payday in his career ? yeah right

i dont like it nor do i support it but you gotta give credit were its due very smart thinking by floyd

 

Being away and the fact that he hasnt fought at 140 in like four or five years as well.
But still its a black eye to the sport, Marquez I give him credit and so should Floyd after all Floyd could have been home on saturday rather than at the MGM.
But here is a question how could you be back in the gym that long and have the fight postponed and stil not make the weight?
I can tell you this Floyd had no intentsion in making the weight.

 

:good exactley very smart move on his part

 

I was only under the impression when Oscar had said it was at a catch weight of 144.

But then i would hear the mayweather interview and he says this is a welterweight bout which means 141-147 isnt that right pac fans?

This was taken from an interview from mayweather last week

Against Marquez, Mayweather faces a seasoned, full-time fighter, whose two has a draw and loss to Pacquiao in two fights that he could have easily won. Against Mayweather, he is the underdog, a heavy one, mostly because the former featherweight and lightweight champion has never fought as a welter and presumably won’t be one on Sept. 19. The reported catch-weight is 144 pounds. Marquez predicted in a conference call nearly two weeks ago that he will be at 142 pounds. On the same call, however, Mayweather again would not confirm the reported catch weight.
“Not weighting no 143,’’ said Mayweather, who dismissed reports of the catch weight as rumors. “It’s a welterweight fight. I weigh whatever a welterweight weighs.’’

Apparently, that means Mayweather will weigh whatever he wants. Or maybe it means the biggest weigh-in flap since Jose Luis Castillo. Whatever it leads to, it is just another example of Mayweather’s ability to keep opponents and media guessing, which – truth is – part of the intrigue in the countdown to Marquez.

 

Maybe maybe not. I suggested that Cotto does the same thing then when he faces Pac in an earlier thread.
