    so does make him professional enough? it's almost like paying someone to assure himself of a victory. the least floyd could do is try to sweat it out.

    The contract stated that if he can't make the weight than he is fined, he didn't make the weight and he was fined, so what?

    I don't understand how people are arguing this, they have both fought at catch weights, but Manny has done it more, who cares?

    a boxer could look for his welfare. he can refuse to fight if he feels that one fighter would be much bigger than him and his safety compromised. floyd has the obligation to make the weight first but he already saw the loophole of paying the fine much more easier than making the weight.

    Floyd signed to fight at a catchweight, then got the contracts changed when he decided he was going to cheat Marquez at the scales, to avoid paying additional fines to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. What Floyd did was actually far worse than fighting at catchweight. He told a 135 pound Marquez that he'd meet him at 144 (3 pounds under 147), then at the last minute decided he'd fight the lightweight at 147. Truly a POS move. :-(

    Unlike Floyd, Pac will honor 144. :deal

    Marquez had to sign off on it you do realize.

    And before you say Marquez if he doesn't sign it loses a payday.


    So does Floyd.

    Can you not say that about Cotto, Margo and JMM? Or pretty much anyone that fought at catchweight?

    I get your point.

    Now, Answer your own question, dumbass:twisted:

    Why did Floyd cheat on the scales against JMM?

    None of those fighters had to re sign contracts.

    But they had to sign a contract where the weight is an issue and in your view disadvantageous to them.
