    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.

    Lost alot of my respect tonight.

    I was starting slowly to give Floyd respect. I've even put money on him tomorrow night. But i can safely say I will never follow him again after those weight antics. What a load of shiit. I hope his ass gets KNFO for that.

    Same feelings as me. I am shocked and upset by this carry on. Surely the fight was at 144, Mayweather should have forced out a dump and got into the sauna and run for 30 minutes.

    It must have been calculated and once again boxing looks like a sorry excuse for a sport. Marquez was the man having to bulk up two weight classes, the least Mayweather could have done is trim a couple of pounds.

    Screw him. Mayweather shows himself once again as the cnut that we all know he is so good at being.

    Cotto fights anyone, Floyd fights the lowest risk for the highest reward. Floyd is a pathetic little cunt, end of.

    Marquez is the highest reward? I seriously doubt that especially since people have been crucifying Floyd since this fight was mad e about it. Marquez is the one who will get all the credit if he beats Floyd, if Floyd loses its over for him and Marquez is a very dangerous opponent. Hopkins had no issues moving up from 160 to destroy Antonio Tarver at 175 so we'll see what Marquez does.

    Anyway Mayweather has nothing to gain and everything to lose, both Cotto and Pacquiao lose nothing if they fight each other. So it's barely a highest reward situation for Floyd. He'll get his highest reward after he beats Pacquiao after he gets past Cotto.

    And you can't blame Mayweather. Pacquiao, and Cotto were both unavailable for this fight not only that but who else was there for Floyd to fight in his comeback. So who was left? If he'd fought Berto then people would just say Floyd was cherry picking a weak title holder. Who else was there? Shane Mosley? Shane was playing the money/draw game so I don't think that fight would have been made anyway. So who else at 147 is he to fight that would have been considered a risk? Marquez was a smart choice for the namesake and the comparisons to victories which people still won't compare.

    Angry Re: Anybody have weigh-in information

    Im sooooo ANGRY!!!

    witth regards to the two extra pounds that Floyd didn't loose:

    It's not about Floyd being 2 pounds bigger. It's about Floyd not being 2 pounds weaker... Think about it.

    Not meaning to contradict myself here but if Mayweather and Marquez had both agreed that Marquez was gonna come all the way up from Lightweight to face Mayweather only if at catchweight of 144 then what is Mayweather doing fighting at 146

    What, you telling me he cant make 144? Bit late for that!

    What if Cotto came in at 147 for his fight against Paquiao... Woah, that would be a travesty because o fcourse Cotto was made to put up his 147lb belt for a fight at 145 so ''oh no but that holds way more implications''... I fuckin hate this sport.

    Thats it, i absolutely refuse to watch this bullshit.
    Im watching UFC tonight. Laters.

    For the DelaHoya vs Pac fight, coach Freddie Roach insisted on a $1.5M penalty for every pound over the welterweight limit of 147 at weigh-in. He stipulated a harsh deterrent to guard against this. He must've envisioned a similar scenario, which puts his fighter at a tremenduous disadvantage at fight night, if it indeed materialized.

    PBF might have possibly made a wisened calculated risk, as JT has pointed out earlier, and a great move at that IMHO, for practically peanuts at $600K in comparison.

    I mean the beauty of this whole thing is the fact it isint a forgone conclusion yet.. JMM beats him Floyd has egg on his face he'll never be able to wipe off, JMM has nothing to lose came up 2 weights fighting a prime unretired undefeated previous PFP#1 fighter in the world not to mention he made the fastest 600k in the world when Floyd stepped on the scale..

    I say all is well in JMM land over 3mil plus PPV revenue all the accolades win or lose, courage an admiration to the hill. If there is anyone who could pull this off its JMM

    Floyd never tried to make weight.Shifty 3 card monty last minute deals with Oscar and just figured he'd throw money at the poor little turkey booger eating fellow from meheco rather than work if off.Think someone else filled that glass for Marquez!Still,Floyd may come in around 152ish and Marquez 144.One stuck to their professional obligation and one did not.

    Marquez signed off on it bro.. I believe the vast millions plus the fact that he is 10000000000000% convinced that he can beat Floyd is the other reason. JMM is a man on a mission he flew to the Philippines right after the PAC lost and challenged him again at an event.. The guy is one of the last Legacy motivated fighters in the sport.

    As far as the whole turkey booger eating poor guy from meheco comment. I really feel as though that discredits JMM more than it illustrates your opinion. JMM and his family wants for nothing, not to mention the guy is a legend and well respected. The fact that he is Mexican had nothing to do with it since he is extremely well off and dosent live in some run down village. Floyd made a calculated risk and didnt breach contract, he just bent the hell out of it.

    EXACTLY!!!! Why didnt the commission, Berastein, DLH demand Floyd comeback after sweating out 2lbs? If Mayweather came in at 148-149 then yea Bullshit and Fuk Floyd for being a scumbag but provisions were made for the Welterweight limit being the ceiling and stiff penalties were agreed to for over 144, everyone knew the ramifications.. I'll venture to guess DLH, BHOP behind the scenes were probably appreciating Mayweather to themselves for such a calculated move.. Shiit, thats a page out of Hopkins book of a thinking mans fighter. Floyd won round one on that stage..
