Either it's a bluff to keep his name out there or he doesn't mind taking a beating for a pay day... that or he's being genuine, don't think he could do 140 somehow though.

One thing I do think... if he's bluffing then the Pac Camp are going to think that if he is asking for 140 then 144 won't be that much trouble for him... if so I don't think they'd want the fight.
