Thread: So much for Mayweather-Marquez

Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight - Boxing News

Mayweather's team has been negotiating with GBP to make the fight. Floyd wants the fight to take place at the 147 limit. But JMM feels anything above 140 will put him at a huge disadvantage.

JMM's camp has no interest in fighting Valero, and they also told the media that JMM could end up fighting Erik Morales at 140 if they can't finalize a fight with Mayweather.

WTF?

He might end up fighting Erik Morales at 140 in near future?

Floyd is such a punk.

Smart move by Marquez. He ain't going to sell his soul and put himself at a disadvantage like Hatton did just for money

Yup, so now who is Floyd going to fight?

Hatton is no smaller than PBF naturally. The fact this comes from Beristain makes it suspect. I reckon the fight still gets made at like 143 or something. But JMM hopefully will be smart & not simply be Floyd's tune-up

hopefully it will happen n be shown on british tv

It all comes down to how bad Marquez wants it.. I mean pac man did the same for the DLH fight, it shows he's committed to being the best. Mayweather is the one in the driving seat, if he wants to fight at 140 or 200 pounds it's all down to him.

Just my opinion.

There were a lot of advantages in Floyds favour, not just the weight the fight was at.

Yeah, of course Hatton had it all against him

The weight argument was bollocks and only came up after the fight to try and find some excuses for Ricky. He may not be a natural welterweight, but he was also not fighting a natural welterweight, if anything Hatton is a naturally bigger more muscled fighter than Mayweather.

Cortez wasn't great for Ricky, but he was a lot better than Parris was for Tszyu, although of course there was obviously the advantage in Floyd's favour that he is an infinitely more talented fighter than Hatton could ever be

Had to rep you for this, because (and no offense to British fans, I know they love their boxing) I have NEVER heard a British fan admit this before.

Hopefully this does not come off.I dont think Marquez belongs any where near 140 and above.He s coming off a number of serious hard battles turning back the clock.Hes entering his twilight and has but a couple of great ones left in him.Floyd's been sitting on the shelf sulking,rested and well fed.I dont think Marquez needs him financially or physically.

I can understand why Floyd wouldn't want to go below 147, and I can understand why Marquez doesn't want to go above 140. I've always been skeptical of this fight actually happening, because both guys have legit reasons to not want the fight, and they can both find other opponents.

Marquez-Morales is something I have no interest in. Morales is completely shot, and beating him proves nothing for Marquez. Also, if you've seen pictures of Morales recently, you know that he'd have to lose about 50-60 pounds to make 140. He's been on the Fernando Vargas exercise plan.

Mayweather's a smart dude. He knows he's been out of the spotlight for too long. P4P lists have left him behind. So he's making noise about a comeback to stir the waters, and get his fans all riled up again. In the end, he'll slink back into retirement.

Yet bar Pac, Hatton & Cotto he probably continues to generate more threads, debates & news articles than almost any active fighters apart from the aforementioned.

not so much 50-60 anymore he's already been getting back into shape and i mean good for him, as long as it wasn't preparing to go back into the ring to fight don't see any reason for this fight to happen
