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

[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.

Miles, I refer you AGAIN to the post-fight presser where he does answer the question. It's on skysports & host of other internet sports sites. Then also try to understand that you've just finished a fight, you're euphoric & Kellerman pretty much goes straight into the weight. I don't like Merchant but he wouldn't have done that, he would have let Mayweather say his piece about the fight & THEN ask him. That's good interview technique, something Kellerman for all his knowledge of the sport just doesn't have.

I will have a look for it on You Tube a bit later. Mayweather had the opportunity to talk about it earlier at the pre fight interview, but as Sweet Pea has pointed out he refused. With that he also refused to be weighed on the day of the fight. It is customary for fighters to do this and I don't recall Mayweather refusing ever before. Looking at the size difference there is no doubt that Mayweather might have gained a good 10 pounds overnight. He looked like a very big WW to me. There is no doubt he has grown bigger in his 2 years off and the weight doesn't fall off so easily.

I thought Kellerman lost it a bit when Floyd started rambling about sponsors and commercials and just decided "to hell with it" let's talk about the weight. Admittedly, he could have done it in a more subtle manner, but it needed to be asked and Floyd was just not willing to comply anyway. He might have decided to explain later but there and prior to the fight he gave no explanations which would have been more appropriate as those watching the fight could have then heard.

Anyways, I will go and look for that conference stuff.
