On Episode 3 last night, they stated that they NEVER said anything about a catch-weight of 152 or such. Basically that team Mayweather requested it.
Now we all have seen the thread of Canelo stating they would come down to 152 or 151 for the fight.
So is this basically them stating that don't believe everything you see on BoxingScene?
Can I get a link to the article where Canelo wants the fight at 154 and Floyd says no to him. ThanksIt was all over boxing scene. If you don't read boxing scene top headlines that's not my problem. What I said was accurate and true and I could care less if you believe it or not. I won't do your homework for you. Can you show anything in 2013 where Canelo and his team offered a catchweight of 152 to Mayweather? No, you can't because he never did.He took the 152 catchweight because he had no choice if he was to get the fight. Can you show me where team Mayweather offered Canelo a fight at 154 and Canelo said he would rather fight at a catchweight of 152? Team Mayweather started the negotiation for this fight at 147 and that's a fact. Mayweather was never going to fight Canelo at 154 and he never offered to do so and that's a fact.

That offer was two years ago, Floyd passed it up to fight someone else in 2011.
Floyd is the one who wanted the catchweight now, during negotiations in 2013.
Canelo said that was the ONE thing Floyd was crying about, he wanted a catchweight.:bottle:
and i don't knoe how you get this "Canelos said Boxscene not legit", if not all, e proves it is.
random poster to BoxingFollower - "But that was two years ago"
BoxingFollower - "So what, he said he would do it"
Flip the script
Manny agrees to Floyds testing
BoxingFollower - "doesn't matter, that was two years ago and the offer is now off the table"
damn some hard ownage right here lol
floyd stans do go on about floyds offer being 2 years old and you cannot hold him to his word, yet they hold canelos
just shows how much of a hypocrite they are

He's saying you'd have to be an idiot to believe a story from 2 years ago over things he said 2 months ago. Mayweather is trying to sell to us that the comments from 2 years ago matter and his fans are buying it.
Exactly. There's no way to turn this in Floyd's favor. His fanbase however try.

All the folks throwing dirt on Boxing Scene in this thread need to be banned
Taking trolling way to far
BIGPOPPAPUMP broke it down for you all, and that's all there needs to be said
He showed an article on boxingscene that Ellerbe was referring to. He has no idea what each team discussed in the negotiations in private.

floyd mayweather is a liar
we know how he said he fights guys at their best and does not believe cw count as wins, then when he got the 152 fight made, he said team canelo wanted it, this was another liar
here is a link of canelo saying he wanted the fight at 154, therefore proving it was not him wanting a 152 cw but floyd

so there you go
Canelo and his team could've played it off much better. Should've showed them more confidence in the catch weight. Should've been like "Joke's on them, I've gone down 2 pounds in the past, no problem."
They kind of did. Mayweathers team had said no higher then 147 before. They went all the way up to 152.

I have read boxing scene top headlines daily for years. As a big Canelo fan I have followed the negotiations for this fight very carefully. In 2011 when Canelo could make a lighter weight Team Canelo offered to fight Mayweather at a catchweight of 152 pounds and that is where Ellerbie gets this from. In the 2013 negotiations for this fight Team Mayweather wanted Canelo to fight Floyd at the welterweight limit of 147. Team Canelo refused and said the fight must be at the Jr. middleweight limit of 154. With Schaefer trying hard to get the fight made and almost a month of negotiations both sides agreed on a compromise weight of 152. There was never any way in hell Floyd was going to fight Canelo at 154. If anybody can show me anything from boxing scene or any other boxing site where team Canelo started the 2013 negotiations with an offer to fight at 152 I will retract this. Canelo agreed finally to fight at 152 as a last resort because it was that or no fight. As for Canelo's body language showing he was angry about what Ellerbie said, of course he was angry because Ellerbie is lying and calling his team idiots. Unless you consider something that was offered in 2011 has anything to do with the 2013 negotiations for this fight Ellerbie is the liar and team Canelo is telling the truth.

Floyds team said they wouldn't fight above 147. That's at WW, and not a CW, but how is that any different then saying 148, 149, 150, etc.
You're really REACHING with this thread and your commentary. First off, Ellerbe never said Canelo said, he said his MANAGEMENT said it. Obviously you didn't read the article in question or pay attention to what Ellerbe said.
Canelo's manager made the comments in January 2012 prior to the Cotto fight. That was long before the Mayweather negotiations started in May of this year, but Team Mayweather used those comments against him, since the manager said he would go down to 150 in order to land Mayweather.

Canelos management first suggested the CW
Read through the thread
And how exactly would you or anyone on here know that?
I'm pretty sure Floyd or his people are on tap saying they wanted the fight at 147.
My god.. Boxingscene never ceases to amaze me on how dumb a lot of the people are... Canelo said Ellerbe is lying. They wanted the CW. It's such a simple thing to interpret i'm kind of in shock at the level of stupidity.
