Personally i dont think someone as fiercely competitive as Mayweather would come in at 146 if the weight limit was meant to be 144. If that WAS the case, then im almost certain that Floyd would come in dead on the weight or under just to prove a point because i dont believe for one second that Mayweather cant make at least 140! But thats just my opinion guys.
Well I've seen the video and it seems so... now I wonder how much of his purse he'll have to sacrifice for arriving 2 pounds over the limit, which is damn lot around the welterweight division.Quote:

Run with it, bitch tits!
Answer me those questions intelligently and i'll gladly give reverence to your usual slagging and shiit talk
Dont mouth off to me you prick, you disrespected a whole lot of people with your big mouth on this thread and I called you on it!!! So man up you eunuch and admit your fukwitted mouth went to far this time
Anyway sorry if I offended you (or anyone else) I was raging mad as you can probably tell. My bad
...not very professional on Floyd's part, perhaps there is trouble with him or in his camp
Lets face it, the 24/7 program is pure bullshit facade to sell tickets. Floyd said he knows what weight he is every morning he steps out of bed without getting on the scales.
That aside, he either has struggled to shed a little extra weight and shit himself close to fight night and had to arrange for the contract to be changed due to that, or, he's gotten worried / has been worried about JMM right from the start and his camp have taken the sneaky but clever decision to hold onto a couple of pounds just to make sure of the advantages and lose a little capital . Hell, he'll make that back in an instant with A fight against PACballs....
I'm hopin he struggled to get down to the weight full stop and had to even run/steam/shit off a couple pounds more even to reach 146. That makes him a little drained right. Anywasy, makes for a more interesting fight night, and heres to hopin my man JMM wipes the smiles clean off of his face.....
Hahahaha!!! It's all good buddy, shit happens were all very passionate and bound to step on someone elses crank once in a while.. No hard feelingsQuote:

The contract was SIGNED for 144 pounds with penalties for coming in higher. Floyd applied to increase the weight a couple of days before the fight. If welterweight was the limit, then why would he have to apply to raise it? Why would he even need Marquez's consent?Quote:

The more you look at it, the more it looks like Marquez was duped to come in at the lower weight. Almost like a bribe. On weigh in day, 4 pounds is a lot as opposed to on the day of the fight.
Marquez might be a brave warrior, but he is giving up a lot against the best boxer out there today. I just hope it's a better fight than it will be. Floyd, when he gets Marquez in trouble in th early rounds, will be able to put him away as opposed to Manny and Diaz, who could not.
Read this article. There were so many suspicious shenanigans going on that one can't help but feel there's something wrong about the whole thing.
