Mayweather has worked hard and build himself into a WW, why should he drain himself for a fight, in which he was never gonna get any credit for? Why rebuild yourself for someone who has called you out?
Because Floyd would get a lot more credit for beating JMM at 135, where he is considered THE MAN. Anything above that is just for a paycheck and to cheat people out of what would be a competitive fight.

i dunno why anyone would pay $60 to see a mismatch... at a catchweight you could arguably say jmm has a chance, but if the fight is at 147 with no catchweight, there's no argument at all.... this fight is a mismatch.
If he didnt have one..............why stack the odds even worse?

jim rome asked floyd this yesterday, and he said.....
"i fight for checks, not bragging rights..."
get over it. dude will continue to take the "most lucrative fights," even if they're not the most "challenging."
Wheres that picture in your avatar from? Is that kobe getting punched? I'm not a huge basketball fan since I root for philly teams and the sixers have sucked for the most part... I used to watch them when I was younger in highschool and middle school when Iverson helped get them a bit far but then they failed when it mattered most.
WTF.....................so 140=147?................seriously?........dont think hes blatantly conning JMM....................like Oscar did him?.............
In my opinion, JMM never stood a chance. People are saying 147 have decreased Marquez's chances, question, what chances? He never had one

you must agree though that fighting JMM at 140 would be better..........legacy wise......................so you think he doesnt care about his legacy from this point on.......................strictly business?????.........strictly "Money"?????
I don't think so, JMM isn't established at 140 either, it wouldn't have made a difference.
Why didn't he come running in to steal Mosley's thunder after he demolished Margarito and claimed superiority over the WW division. Come on Dom.
Because SSM isn't the best fighter in the sport, Pacquiao is. Mayweather is looking to gain Pacquiao's kind of status
Floyds a hoe straight up. The man is an embarassment to the sport.
Street Bully, you gotta understand, this wasn't intended to be a hard fight. It was a mismatch and a tune up from the start, I'm the Mayweather fan over here and I'm telling ya
The real battle is
Pacquiao vs Mayweather, which the demand for it will be very high, once Mayweather gives JMM a Gatti-Like beating
Because Pacquiao is VERY respected and Mayweather wants to take the spotlight away from him. Mayweather is an attention whore

Money. He had some tax issues I hear...
It's always been money. Since day one it's been money. He thought his endorsements would continue on after he retired and they didn't. He isn't an ATG like Frazier or Ali or even Foreman. He's not going to get those life long endoresements until he solidifies himself more. That's where all his "greatest fighter in the world" crap comes from. Money.
if its just money.............i think everythings fine and dandy..............but legacy wise how can a win over a lightweight(as good as JMM is)help him in anyway?......................your thoughts?
