Floyd, Mosley, and Cotto have found a home at 147. Oscar was a 154 pound fighter but Pac had fought no higher than 135. The 147 catchweight for them was so it would even the playing ground. No one knew Oscar would lose more weight than he had to and have trouble rehydrating. Pacquiao fighting at 147 was just so the freak show could be executed not because he was comfortable at that weight. Hatton was a step down from the Oscar fight but was still considered the bigger man cause he was still a superfeatherweight about a year ago.
I think Manny fighting at catch weights against Mayweather, Mosely, and Cotto are a product of 1) Manny being the big dog now and 2) Because 147 is not natural for Manny. Oscar MADE him look great at 147 but that is in now way a weight class he should be fighting at. I don't know, but if you're the one people want to fight, they should come to you, not the other way around.
I thought that was MAD DICK! Everyone knows Floyd is a cash king but to degrade someone's earning power just because he isn't a million dollar fighter is a low blow IMO. I think it's already a given Floyd earns more than most, no need to point it out. Although Kenny's paycheck probably makes mine look like a tax refund.
I'm glad I wasn't the only person who got annoyed by Floyd clapping along with each word he said. He was saying the right things to defend himself; the clapping was just a bit much.
I swear, Floyd read this site right before going on with the interview cause he reiterated so many points that people make for him on this forum.
