Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[MaYaN_SuN]

Mayweather you wanna fight Marquez at 147?

Thats a ***** move right there!

lol Well that sums up Mayweather. He'll avoid any real WW's at all cost.

Technically Floyd should feel blessed that a legend and former Featherweight even called his name out, as if his name mattered, especially after that weak ass run Floyd put on. I mean Baldomir over Cotto? lol I mean Hatton over Cotto?..........Really Floyd?

Marquez isn't even fully effective at 135, his natural skill is the one thing making his reign at lightweight better then the likes of Paq. Then Floyd comes out of the shadows like a broad and requests 147 for a fight with Marquez?

lol Yo...stay retired. The sport was finally on the up-swing with Paq and Calzaghe runnin out of cherry picks, but here comes weak ass Floyd to keep that **** alive?

who knows if Floyd can even get to 140 anymore. he hasnt been there since 2005.

Floyd can make 140. And easily.

It is ROUTINE for fighters to dry out seven, ten, or twelve pounds during fight week.

In fact, some guys are coming in fifteen or more pounds over their weigh-in weight.

You mean to tell me that Williams and Clottey can make 147, but Floyd can't make 140?? Be real, guy.

not surprising at all.

co-sign!!! I knew he would challenge someone smaller. I hope Marquez beat his ass!

You don't seem very well-informed.

If you don't think Mayweather's name matters in this sport, then you haven't been paying attention, or you are blinded by jealousy.

Question: was it a ***** move for Oscar to make Mayweather fight at 154?

Floyd doesn't weigh 154 inside or outside of the ring.

yea it was a ***** move aswell

[QUISQUEYA]

Did he challenge Marquez? If I remember, Floyd was at home dead silent, and Marquez called out Floyd.

Am I remembering this correctly?

[QUISQUEYA]

yea it was a ***** move aswell

But you just saw what Oscar was at 147. So, was it a ***** move by Oscar, or a smart move?

According to Nacho Beristain, trainer and manager of WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, a potential September meeting between Marquez and a returning Floyd Mayweather Jr. is in trouble due to weight. Mayweather's team has been negotiating with Golden Boy Promotions to make the fight, but the talks have hit a wall over the weight. Mayweather wants the fight to take place at the welterweight limit of 147, and Marquez, still at 135, is not willing to move up that high in weight. Marquez feels that anything above 140-pounds will put him at a huge disadvantage. [details]

In all fairness, he's the one who called out Floyd, if he wants Floyd to come out of retirement he has to agree to his terms.

Pacquiao can fight DLH at 147, Floyd fights DLH at 154 and it's all good. Floyd wants Marquez to fight at 147 and that's an issue?

lol Yeah, cause Floyd and his name run boxing?

Just cause his name is bein said, doesn't mean it matters. I mean kids could be talkin Tyson come-back right now, doesnt meant Tyson's name actually matters.

And you're tryin to act like it's jealousy, lol n#$% fall the **** back when men are talking.
