If it wasn't the catchweight, it would be something else...

At the end of the day, a lot of people just want discredit anything Mayweather does. If he didn't take the fight he'd be a ducker, now he's taken the fight he's accused of draining his opponent and if he fought it at 154 people would make another excuse like Canelo isn't ready.. I'm not even sure some of you people on here enjoy boxing sometimes. Take it for what it is, the best fight in boxing that can be made at the moment, one of them is giving up 2lbs, but the other is really a 147 pound fighter, despite is 154 titles. I'm not Mayweathers biggest fan but he's taken the fight when people didn't think he would. Canelo says he's happy with the weight,so if it's a problem thats his own fault, not Mayweathers. The fight is made, the weight set and no amount of *****es whining on a forum is going to change it now so just enjoy it, it's going to be a great night and afterall, we could have gotten Mayweather v Alexander or something.

people are gonna criticize floyd anyway so he should just drain canelo and be a complete hypocrite. this is the same type of argument as people are gonna criticize floyd anyway so fighting bums like guerrero and ortiz is ok!

Why all the weight caps pac pulled were shytty. I criticized him now ill criticize may. I hope nelo comes in at 154 and pays the fine to fight at the actual weight. I would have no prob with coming in at 154 on fight night because that is the weight limit. **** that blown up weight advantage nonsense tho. That is cheating the whole sport .

The pressure was on after they wouldn't even publicize how the last ppv did... The fight had to be made. Mayweather v. Alexander would have bankrupt showtime. I bet they told him to fight cancelo or the deal is over. We're all surprised at the ease this fight was made...showtimes pressure had to be the reason why. Well that might be one of the factors, but who cares? The two fighters are going to step in the ring and thats all i care about, i don't care about the politics behind it. It just seems crazy that such a huge fight has been made and 90% of people are trying to discredit it for any reason they can find. I personally think 152 is a fair weight if you consider where both fighters have shown to be at their best weights. Surely this fight shoulde excite any boxing fans, even with the catchweight.

It doesn't matter who PRESSURED the fight its that it got MADE. I wish HBO or the commission would have stepped in and forced the Mayweather Vs Pacquiao fight but nobody did a damn thing and allowed both of them to make a fool of the sport.

I still feel like there should be a rehydration clause too. In reality a welter weight shoulnt have to fight a super middle weight or a light heavy weight on fight night. That balooning up over night is rediculas bullsht. I dont care how you put it! Why all the weight caps pac pulled were shytty. I criticized him now ill criticize may. I hope nelo comes in at 154 and pays the fine to fight at the actual weight.
