I thought it was catchweight 144lbs?????????
JMM 142lb
Mayweather 146lb
Just watched the weigh-in.....I thought the fight was at 144? Floyd weighed in at 146. :confused:
I thought Floyd had to make 144?????
You beat me to it what the fuck is that all about? I'm not understanding this at all, no one said anything either.Quote:

This is strange, none of the commentators said anything. I don't get it
Kinda smells doesn't it? I bet they will not make him either.
Marquez is being used as cannon fodder.

It was rumored to be 144 but I never heard anything official and they always left people guessing on the actual weight of the fight so who knows.
The links above in the beginning of this thread should start streaming from the archives the actual weigh in again soon so just keep checking back at the links for it if you want to see it.
24/7 first episode said 144, yet there was nothing official said about the weight anywere else so I assumed 144
Absolutely. I have felt all along that this was the case.Quote:

I don't think it's a big deal, to be honest. Floyd's not a big welterweight anyway.
146! That's what I have on PBF! No wonder he is known as Fraud. :confused:

It's a fucking joke. Like he never had every other advantage anyway? Gutless fucking swine!Quote:

Mayweather 146, Marquez 142
LAS VEGAS - The long-awaited weighin for Mayweather-Marquez showdown finally took place at 3:15 p.m. Pacific Time at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena, the site for Saturday's 12-round welterweight fight.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. weighed in at 146 pounds, his usual weight for the welterweight limit.
Juan Manuel Marquez tipped the 142 pounds, just two pounds over the junior welterweight limit.
Since the fight was made in May of this year, there has been speculation as to how much the fighters were contracted to weighin.
The Mayweather camp maintained that it was a welterweight bout with the usual 147-pound limit, while Golden Boy Promotions, the promoter for Saturday's fight, claimed that the fighters agreed to a 144-pound catchweight.
Obviously, Team Mayweather was right. It is not known if the Mayweather side agreed to pay Team Marquez any bonus/penalty money for every pound that Mayweather came in over 144 pounds. According to Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission there is no such agreement.

Smell bull shit here also Marquez was trying to say something about the weight but it looked like no one would listen to him.

Why was 144 mentioned so much then? I'm getting calls and texts so it's certainly not been well known it was at the Welter limit, I never seen anything but 144 mentioned on here or in the 24/7 or in any press event. Wait till everyone orders the fight then drop the bomb! Arseholes
This is just Floyd as a pure Welter it's such a mis-match it's untrue.
If PBF jr. is 2 lbs. over the 144lb agreed upon catchweight, as we all by now ascertained, then why is there no protestations from the JMM camp for the perceived excess weight?
Something's not intact here... The handling and media provided for the weigh-in, for this fight, is apparently subpar. Loose handles provide the worst grip!
The enthusiasm of promoters/handlers of this fight must have been stymied by the less than expected trunout. I would hate for a negative bombshell in the news once they figure the math or number of $$$ will not make a GO feasible.
I would hope it is all is set for tomorrow's GO for Number One vs Numero Uno! It's too late otherwise for another postponement anyway!
All the best for tomorrow... nonetheless!
I hear that. I will be really surprised if this fight even has a competitive round.Quote:

Well he has made no sacrifice to fight a lightweight so it is a big deal, we were all lead to think the fight was at a catch of 144. So shut your arse up.Quote:

Tomorrow night Floyd will be 149.
Marquez will lose a pound to 141.
HBO didn't want the weigh-in too embarrassing so they gave Marquez a chance to go and eat doughnuts for an hour and try to make weight again ;D
i meant the catchweight but whatever. wont make a differenceQuote:

I don't think the weight is a big deal really, it isn't like it's a power puncher in there, this is going to come down to who has the best boxing brain. In chess weight doesn't matter.
It will, I don't care what you or anyone else says. Obviously they try and promote the fight as if both fighters have a chance (which I never buy into, you will see when the fight was announced it was already a mis-match in my mind) but this takes the fucking piss. Three of my mates rang after the weigh-in asking why I never told them and other boxing forums are all asking the same shit, nobody knew about this fucking bullshit weight agreement.Quote:

Floyd is just as sneaky and smart out of the ring as in.....this fight is gonna be as about as competitive as tenn vs Florida tommorow. Floyd is whooppin this poor guys ass. But juan's gettin paid so I hear that too. I'll be mainly watchin for the undercards tommorow.
Apparently Mayweather has been fined a "siginificant" amount for coming in two pounds over.

I posted this in the other thread, but the contracted weight was 144 and Mayweather has been fined.

Mayweather is a fucking joke, not only is he fighting a guy who was fighting at 130 only 18 months ago and has only had two fights over 130 he decides to get even more of an advantage by not cutting to 144, this was calculated imo, no way someone like Mayweather cant cut to 144.Quote:

Why wasnt Mayweather required or ALLOWED to re weigh in?
I am his biggest fan on this forum, but I cant apologize for being unprofessional and missing weight:rolleyes:
It all smells fishy, Marquez didnt blink neither did Oscar or Schaeffer, everyone on the stage looked business as usual, no one whispering in each other ears no confused looks, announcers and Buffer didnt say nadda..
ALL PLANNED
