This didn't come from Mayweather himself, it was probably some made up bullshit by Freddie Roach. So until we hear something from Mayweather himself regarding this, I wouldn't panic.
Roach knows it's on. He's just began the psychological warfare
by making this statement to get under Team Mayweather's
skin. I thought it was a brilliant move. I give him credit.
As a trainer, he may be a little limited physically, but his
ability to play mind games and come up with great game plans
make him the best in the business today.
The other day Roach was saying Manny didn't want to fight in March or May, and you guys were like:
"Hahahahahaha, Pacman's a duck."
Today he's says some shit and he's a liar.
I wouldn't be remotely surprised if Mayweather tried to push for 10oz gloves but I strongly doubt he really cares about the weight as long as it's not below 147lbs.
Maybe he's pulling the old 'start ridiculously high so your real demand seems more reasonable' trick.
I've been saying through this whole ordeal though, whether it be Manny or Floyd the heat was currently on, we're still in the middle of on going negotiations between two of boxing's biggest divas - no point jumping to conclusions until the smoke clears and everything's settled.
He said Floyd didn’t want to fight at March? He said Floyd is the easiest fight yet asked for the longest camp yet
Of course he is lying
Roach is obviously lying.
