Anybody have weigh-in information

[leftylee]

Anybody think Cotto will weigh in at 147 for the Pacquiao fight ? HELL NO.

Fraud Mayweather is a pussy.

All credit has to go to Marquez now, Mayweather just ruined any chance of getting any respect for a victory!

But now should Marquez pull of the upset it'll be huge!!!

Mayweather's got no excuses now if he loses...

[skel1983]

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

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

I dont know what to believe, I mean like JT says no one seemed to complain, it he was over surely well no defintly there would of been some sort of protest from Dela Hoya/Marquez. If it was agreed from the outset it's at 147 thats fine, can anyone provide a link to who and when it was said this fight was 144??

Shocker.Floyd not given a shit about the agreed upon weight.Throw money at the situation and keep pounding your chest ya empty suit.You know what,f!!k him,I hope he gets his ass beat inside out some day and he does not deserve Marquezs scalp on his resume.

Is there A vid of the weigh in ??

[Rican]

I try and I try to like Floyd in addition to his great boxing ability, but he just makes it easy for people to hate on him. The weigh in was a shakedown on Marquez. And some may say "it's only two pounds," but its about more than that. It's about honor! You agree to a weight you should meet it. And if you don't, you should do like all other boxers are forced to: run the pounds off and weigh in again a couple of hours later. This is total bull.

[OumaFan]

It obviously makes some difference, I get why people are saying it doesn't, cause Floyd's a counterpuncher, not a physical fighter, but he was willing to give up money (and Floyd Mayweather loves money) because he knew he'd be stronger and better at 146, so obviously it makes a difference.

I didn't think he'd have any problem making 144 though Because he's never been big at all at 147, I figured he and Cotto would both be fine. Of course Cotto will probably just come in at 147

[Kel]

oh no floyd is 2 pounds heavier omg omg omg

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.

You know something Kel, I'm calling Bullshit on your asss. YOU SHUT THE FUK UP!!!! JMM signed the contracts did he not What do you care anyway? You really think 144-146 is going to be that dramatic? The way your carrying on does nothing but minimize all JMM efforts, training

Nothing was ever officialy announced it was all speculation apparently. Keith Kizer said Maywether was right it was a Welterweight fight with no side agreement/penalty for coming in 144

Everyone heard 144, I read 144 in many articles and once all bets are made and the fight is paid for.........Floyd is fighting at his ideal weight! Well fuck me!

Even the 24/7 mentioned the 144 weight anyway, so shut up, sit the fuck down, and watch Floyd beat another cherry picked poor fucker who has EVERYTHING againsed him.

Run with it, bitch tits!

Fraud Mayweather is a pussy.

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

[skel1983]

Heres the weigh in check 30 seconds in Dela Hoya looks like he just seen a ghost when he realises he weighs 146.

Not looking good for Floyd, bit unusual no one says anything though?? You would think that more would of been said really weird situation this?? wtf is going on?

[Spicoli]

Thanks for the the vid Skel.They cut away from Oscar but he's no dummy.Think they knew exactly what was up.Floyds playing the fans for suckers.

The deck is stacked in every way against Marquez but no doubt he will fight his azz off and maintain his professionalism to the very end one way or another!!

Some more info I just found :

Floyd Mayweather Jr. weighed in at 146 pounds on Friday afternoon, two pounds heavier than the weight stipulated in the contract for his comeback fight against lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.The excess weight will cost Mayweather $300,000 per pound, meaning Marquez will get an additional $600,000 on top of his $3.2 million guarantee, a source told ESPN.com. Mayweather's minimum guarantee is $10 million, a figure likely to dramatically increase after the pay-per-view receipts are counted.
Marquez, who has never fought heavier than 135 pounds, comfortably made 142 pounds, two less than the 144-pound contract weight.
At Mayweather's request, nobody would speak publicly about the contract weight throughout the promotion that kicked off in early May and continued into the fall when the fight was postponed from July 18 because of a Mayweather rib injury.
However, several sources with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com all along that the contract maximum weight was 144 pounds, three less than the 147-pound welterweight maximum.
But after Friday's weigh in, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer finally addressed the issue, telling ESPN.com, "The fight was contracted as a welterweight fight with an agreed upon weight of 144 pounds. However, there were pre-negotiated weight penalties built in."
Schaefer would not disclose the dollar figure, but another source with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com that the penalty was $300,000 per pound if either fighter was overweight.
According to the source, the Marquez camp knew Wednesday night that Mayweather would not make weight because Mayweather's team made overtures to Golden Boy Promotions in an effort to have Marquez agree to change weight on the bout agreements to be filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
However, Marquez's contract had already been filed reading 144 pounds, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer. But Kizer said the bout agreement was retrieved from the commission by Golden Boy Promotions and changed to 147 with Marquez initialing it.
Mayweather's contract with 147 pounds was not filed with the commission until minutes before the weigh in. Kizer said it was supposed to be filed on Wednesday.
Kizer said the Mayweather camp asked to file it Thursday and he said OK, but that deadline also came and went.
"We were very unhappy with the lateness of Mr. Mayweather's contract," Kizer said.
Kizer said that had the bout agreements not been changed to 147, Mayweather would have faced a fine from the commission in addition to whatever penalty he had agreed to pay Marquez. For being two pounds overweight, Kizer said the penalty would have been 10 percent of his purse, or $1 million. Had he been three pounds over (147 pounds), the figure would have jumped to a 20 percent fine.

By the way, no one is complaining because everyone involved wins. Marquez makes more money, Floyd loses very little (he will gain much more in pay per view), the promoters still make a killing, and the fans still get a fight. "Money" will lose a little more of his tenuous reputation, but as long as money is made, he does not care one flying fuck.

Everyone is feeling a bit sorry for Marquez but the guy has not really been in big money fights hes 36 years old not to long left in them Mexican legs, i mean if he was offered 600k more if he let Mayweather weigh 146 im sure he would of agreed at the start of negotiations.

Very unprofessional by Mayweather but Marquez is probably gonna make at least 5 million from this fight.
