Anybody have weigh-in information

[fan johnny]

I've seen fighters come in over-weight before, but this one is very strange.

Mayweather 146, Marquez 142

LAS VEGAS - The long-awaited weighin for Mayweather-Marquez showdown finally took place at 3:15 p.m. Pacific Time at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena, the site for Saturday's 12-round welterweight fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. weighed in at 146 pounds, his usual weight for the welterweight limit.

Juan Manuel Marquez tipped the 142 pounds, just two pounds over the junior welterweight limit.

Since the fight was made in May of this year, there has been speculation as to how much the fighters were contracted to weighin.

The Mayweather camp maintained that it was a welterweight bout with the usual 147-pound limit, while Golden Boy Promotions, the promoter for Saturday's fight, claimed that the fighters agreed to a 144-pound catchweight.

Obviously, Team Mayweather was right. It is not known if the Mayweather side agreed to pay Team Marquez any bonus/penalty money for every pound that Mayweather came in over 144 pounds. According to Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission there is no such agreement.

Did you see Dela Hoya's face when it was announced 146?

Smell bull shit here also Marquez was trying to say something about the weight but it looked like no one would listen to him.

[Mar]

Floyd is just as sneaky and smart out of the ring as in.....this fight is gonna be as about as competitive as tenn vs Florida tommorow. Floyd is whooppin this poor guys ass. But juan's gettin paid so I hear that too. I'll be mainly watchin for the undercards tommorow.

Apparently Mayweather has been fined a "siginificant" amount for coming in two pounds over.

Mayweather is a fucking joke, not only is he fighting a guy who was fighting at 130 only 18 months ago and has only had two fights over 130 he decides to get even more of an advantage by not cutting to 144, this was calculated imo, no way someone like Mayweather cant cut to 144.

Lost alot of my respect tonight.

I was starting slowly to give Floyd respect. I've even put money on him tomorrow night. But i can safely say I will never follow him again after those weight antics. What a load of shiit. I hope his ass gets KNFO for that.

Same feelings as me. I am shocked and upset by this carry on. Surely the fight was at 144, Mayweather should have forced out a dump and got into the sauna and run for 30 minutes.

It must have been calculated and once again boxing looks like a sorry excuse for a sport. Marquez was the man having to bulk up two weight classes, the least Mayweather could have done is trim a couple of pounds.

Screw him. Mayweather shows himself once again as the cnut that we all know he is so good at being.

It'll be as competitive as Spinks-Tyson. I don't think it will be a 1 rd ko, but there is one coming definitely.

Why was 144 mentioned so much then? I'm getting calls and texts so it's certainly not been well known it was at the Welter limit, I never seen anything but 144 mentioned on here or in the 24/7 or in any press event. Wait till everyone orders the fight then drop the bomb! Arseholes

This is just Floyd as a pure Welter it's such a mis-match it's untrue.

[Tysonbruno]

I think Floyd looked in even better shape than when he fought Ricky Hatton and i still think he will go to stop marquez and im sticking with mayweather to stop him inside 6 rounds

[Master]

The fact that Mayweather never got to 144lb means he will drain himself and intends to put an impressive beating on JMM. He wins he earns more money against Cotto or Pac.
