Floyd refused to be weighed on the same day weigh in?

[purtyboy]

I agree there was already the weight issue at the catch-weight of 144 then Marquez comes in at 142 and Floyd at 146.. very disappointing to hear. I agree with you although Marquez would have likely lost i hate when a boxer does not meet what was agreed on. It look like he never managed to meet the weight limit since i can't recall Floyd not making weight.. ever. I don't know what to make of him not wanting to weigh in.. maybe he was at 152 or something.. perhaps even more seeing as JMM was 142 and came in at 148.

It actually did look a little bit like David and Goliath to me. I would love to know what Floyd weighed in there, but it seems we will never know.

And here is the full post fight interview. Mayweather refused to answer any questions about the weight issue. The man is happy to take the 10million dollars plus PPV, but refuses to offer any integrity whatsover. It's no wonder Kellerman started talking over him at the end. Floyd simply refuses to say anything meaningful.

even if it was a BS answer, the scales in camp were off, it would have meant something a little more than I refuse to answer the question, which makes people suspect it was deliberate.

Exactly, it was obviously premeditated. Plus the refusal to get weighed today and on top of that the evasion in this interview. Floyd is as guilty as charged. God knows what he weighed in the ring.....Mayweather looks like a selfish prick as always, but Marquez walks away with his pride intact. He wasn't given a fair shake of the dice at all.

Don't get me wrong, Floyd is a brilliant fighter -probably the best in my lifetime, but... despite all the natural advantages he still strives to gain even more of an advantage: There was the size of the ring against Hatton and making a point to the ref about fighting inside, not to mention fighting him at Welter -he'd have beating Ricky under any circumstance!

But do you know the one thing that annoys me the most? Not only does he fight blown up Featherweights and Super-Featherweights, but we always hear the same reasoning, "Floyd started at Super-Feather" Yeah, but he moved up in his early to mid twenties as his body grew; Marquez et al are moving up in their thirties!

Kellerman was a total prick letting that GBP ambush happen. GBP and Kellerman both managed to make Floyd look classy last night, something that outside of a boxing ring should be impossible. Floyd reacted exactly how he should have done.

I agree with you. I don't like PBF but I think he was the one who, surprisingly, actually handle the postfight interview with any class. Mosley did try to but he got emotional but B-Hop needs to do his job better than what he did at that point. DLH would've handled it much better. Kellerman had little control. If it was my promotional company I would've been embarassed.

[Gandalf]

I don't think Floyd was classy at all. Rambling on about sponsors and 7 digit deals and then on being asked about the 600,000 dollor penalty he suddenly doesn't want to talk about money? That is some nonsense right there. Kellerman was right in challenging Mayweather about the weight because it is what a lot of the people watching would like to know as well.

The post fight shoving got a bit much, but I saw little that was classy prior to that whatsoever. Floyd was being typically evasive and arrogant and unwilling to share the truth about the weight issue in front of the audience that had coughed up money to watch a good fight.

There were 10X more cheers when Max Kellerman mentioned Shane Mosely's name.

And there were a LOT of boos for Mosley when him & Hopkins tried to take over proceedings. Part of that was that the Marquez fans were leaving en masse mainly just leaving Mayweather fans.

It was mainly Hopkins causing the shiit. Mosely shook his hand and just said we want a shot. Hopkins then started mouthing off behind him. Look at Floyd's facial expressions when Hopkins gets involved. It was biitchy from both sides. Mayweather's entourage started pushing round and mouthing off also.

Considering that it is through HBO and the boxing public at large that Floyd is able to command such a high purse and a percentage of the PPV, I think it is only right that Floyd answer the serious questions pertaining to his weight and allegations surounding this fight.

He has shown himself to be far from honest, duplicitous in fact. And he is quite content to ignore questions and say that it is all in the past. The boxing public should be well aware of what they might be getting before going to see Mayweather in action or splashing out on a Mayweather PPV.

In the post-fight press conference, Mayweather actually did answer the question. He said that he realized he wasn't going to be able to make 144 2 days before the weigh-in, but that he still tried to make 145 on the day of the fight by running on the treadmill in the morning, & that on his scales he was 145.2. I suspect him not answering it post-fight was him taking it that Kellerman was asking that as an accusation.
