Anybody have weigh-in information

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

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.

Tounge in cheek JT...jeez.But I don't think Floyd shares your respect for Marquez,thats obvious to me.Of course Marquez signed off on it...whats he going to do?Beg off and cancel out.Great fighters dont do that!Or maybe stand his ground and demand Mayweather works off the weight...right.

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..

If you ask me,their all ready smelling the Manny match.Its the only reason Mayweather took this.Over looking to a bigger degree Marquez than Cotto.Big mistakes on both fronts.Point is,its a shit move on Mayweathers part especially considering Marquez was a lightweight coming up.Very unnecessary and I believe unprofessional.Marquez has no friends in that fooking syndicate,Oscar may shake his hand but he's giving Floyd high fives with the other.All smells like a steaming pile to me.

[KananKrus]

Great points you gents! Made without the smelly nastiness... is like boxing 101, Wisdom from the Sugarman!

[JT Rock]

again dude, Why are you selling JMM that short.. IF JMM pulls of the upset and Pac gets by Cotto the 3rd installment of their trilogy would be on par with ALI/Frazier Gatti/Ward etc..

The money generated for a 3rd fight at the highest level of notoriety and mainstream would be ridiculous. JMM legend and popularity picked up an assload of steam, did you see the heroes reception he got in episode 4 when he arrived in LA? Did you notice the pro JMM crowd during the weigh in?

Seriously Spicoli a JMM win would send Mexico into a frenzy coupled with the passionate Filipino fanbase of PAC on the grandest stage Just as electrifiying as a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight

I don't think there was anything cool in the move that Floyd pulled earlier on. It was cold and calculating. The public was led to believe that this fight was a 144 pound catchweight. The fact that Floyd couldn't....or wouldn't (as seems more likely) meet that catch weight is the issue here. He has decieved the boxing public with his carry on even if he hasn't decieved Richard Schaeffer.

I hope we get a great fight like anyone, but I cannot help but feel that this was a manipulated situation. There is nothing to credit Floyd for in pulling this stunt. Of course Marquez is a warrior and will fight regardless, but that really is not the point. If the fight was for 147 five months ago then why wasn't that made clear? The fans have been duped in this scenario.

Floyd's choice! Had Floyd came in another pound over he would have been fined by the commission %10 of his guaranteed that's $1,000,000. Floyd had the time to sweat it out but opted to pay the 2 lbs.
