    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.

    The BEST part about this fight? The END of it! when Mosley punked out Mayweather and had him stuttering like the punk he is lol.. Other than that it was a boring mismatch! I give him zero respect for this win. He couldnt even knock Marquez out despite being much bigger?

    I'm guessing the ticket sales were so bad that the majority of the fans were Hispanic members of Las Vegas's casino and hotel employees, people the promoters could trust to turn up if given a free ticket and guaranteed to cheer anything Marquez did during the fight.
