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

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!

That really boils my piss!!! You couldn't have summed it up better! My dislike of 'money' has grown so much more this weekend!

Gobbing-off is part and parcel of pro boxing, most people dislike him for his mouth (I happen to think PBF is amusing with this trash talk though) I dislike it but accept it is gonna happen. What I don't like is dragging people to different weights and then bulking up himself over the weight!

If that was a title fight would he weigh 2 pounds over!? Would he f&*k!!!!! Because he would be stripped!

PBF wanted a comeback victory and he did everything he could to ensure he got it before even stepping into the ring!

The whole principle of boxing is about 2 evenly-matched men going for it in the ring! Spoils to the victor, 'Money' has once again proven what his motivation is, the moniker in this case is very apt

I feel sorry for JMM, he was always on a losing dime in this fight!

This taken from Fight News:

On Friday, Mayweather had to cough up $600,000 after failing to make the bout weight of 144 pounds by coming in at 146. Marquez came in weighing 142 pounds – 12 pounds more than his usual 130 pound fight weight – and the difference was evident from the opening bell. Mayweather refused to weigh himself again before the fight so the world will never really know how much of a size advantage he had.

Quotes from Marquez:

“I’m a little upset but I tried my best. The weight was a big problem. I think there was a 20 pound difference in weight,” Marquez said after the fight. “I’m not trying to make excuses. I came to fight twelve hard rounds and a lot of people thought I was going to get knocked out.”
