And like you say, Mayweather has remained consistent in his requests which suggests that it is something he really believes in. Pac and the weight demands, oh they will flip flop whenever it suits them. It makes them look really bad. How can you suddenly forget about a demand if it is something you feel is important? It just doesn't make any sense.
And it's not just that, Clottey comes into fights at above 170 at times I think. Mayweather only did it once against Marquez and it wasn't even because he couldn't make the weight. The weight he made was 147 so why would he ever come in over for the fight with Pacquiao? Clottey on the other hand is consistently heavy especially the night of the fight. He is someone you should have a stipulation for. yet for them to have that stipulation for Mayweather and not for Clottey is such a double standard it makes them look worse. It makes it seem like their stipulation was only for people that hate on Floyd for coming in at 147 against Marquez and not because it's something they really believe in. Funny thing is the guy everyone tries to paint as inconsistent(Floyd) has been the most consistent person throughout both fight bargains, Pacquiao and his team flip flop and flip flop so who really looks worse? The saddening thing is none of these professional unbiased journalists are bringing this up.
This is way too true. That is just the problem. Pac's overly zealous fans are going to be there. But Pac gets unfair obvious bias protection from journalists who twist things and leave facts out to favor Pac. And this is what has turned a lot of fans and would-have-been Pac fans away.
I think rather than being critical thinking journalists, we are getting propagandists who are trying to put their own slant on things. They should be trying to cover all the angles and providing a fuller picture, but they are not. In this sense, they really arent fulfilling their obligations as professional journalists. Its a shame.
