Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[QUISQUEYA]

god damn, JMM probably walks around at 147! thats really not fair at all

Floyd walks around at 150. How is that not fair?

[AntDawg]

He should fight Marquez at a catch weight of at least 143.



He's only an undersized WW when names like Cotto, Mosley and Margarito are thrown at him.

Also Joshua Clottey, Berto and Paul Williams. all the top welterweights are much bigger than him.

Facts are that Hatton-Mayweather did 1.2 million PPV in England and if you are gonna tell me that Mayweather was the draw then you got your precious fact mixed up. read the article for proof!

Facts are that Mayweather on his own is a mediocer PPV draw at best. If you are comparing his drawing power to Margarito and Cotto then you have more then justified my observation that he is not a major PPV draw.
.

So, why did the fight do so well in england? Because Hatton was fighting MAYWEATHER. Did the Collazo, castillo, Urango, malignaggi fights do anywhere NEAR that? Of course not.

Why is it hard for you to understand that ?

You are saying that FMJ is a mediocre draw, when he has consistently outsold hatton. That makes no sense.

Why was the Mayweather fight Ricky's biggest? Why is it the biggest fight that Pac can make? Why was it Gatti's biggest fight?

All coincidence?

If Schaefer, Roach, HBO , etc can all say that Mayweather is a big draw, why is it painful for YOU to say it?

To be clear. I did NOT compare his drawing power to Marg or Cotto. I gave you an example of the gate. No need to prevaricate.

Marquez walks around at 140. A catchweight of 143 would solve this issue.

But Floyd is afraid to take risks,story of his career.

No he does not. I'm gonna have to ask you to learn the sport.

[Komander]

No he does not. I'm gonna have to ask you to learn the sport.

Yes he does, his legs are sticks. Now answer my question, why wont Floyd just agree to a catch weight of 143?

[DonTaseMeBrah]

floyd has no balls whatsoever. askin to fight a career feather @ welter.....

I can't beleive that people are still making excuses for Floyd when it's obvious that he's a little *****! He never wants to take risks. The only reason he fought Hatton was because he knew Hatton ****** at 147. Then he wouldn't fight any legitimate WW and according to his fans they are too big for him. Now all of the sudden he wants to fight at 147 because it's against a guy that has never fought above 135 and of course he wants the advantage once again. I bet you that he wouldn't fight any other top WW because he's just too scared about losing his "0". He wants Hatton or Paquiao because they are small. I thought boxing was about the best fighting the best.

If Floyd ain't willin to agree to a catch weight of 143, that could only mean he does have interest at fightin at 147. He has build himself for that weight (Althought he ain't a WW). I've also heard he has interest in facin SSM. Honestly, a catch weight of 143 is good.

the guy is the worst champion i have ever seen or experienced. he's the most talented boxer who's afraid to fight anyone that might beat him or a chance to beath him . HOW DA HELL DID THIS GUY EVEN BECOME P4P 1# is beyond me. If u look at the guys resume its freaking empty.
