Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[handler000]

Why do you think they haven't already jumped on the chance to have him back and locked him up. A couple weeks back they mentioned the exact same thing being the main problem for Floyd's comeback. I would school you on the reasons why Mayweather really does need, but I don't feel like rambling plus you'll just dispute the validity of what I say. I could probably round up different quotes from past boxingscene articles, but it'd take me at least an hour to round up the quotes. If Floyd wants a fight before the Pacquiao-Hatton winner, he needs JMM.

It would take at least 15 mil to get Mayweather and Marquez in the ring together, I seriously doubt it would be on regular HBO.

If you was up to date and left off the boxingscene you would know Al Haymon has already made Floyd come down off his demands on $$$

Was anyone expecting Gatti to do ANY GOOD against Floyd (boxing or brawling), I wasn't a Floyd fan but even I knew Gatti was going to get his ass whooped.

Yes Gatti had fans just like people actually thought Hatton had a chance. They can always wish...

What is it with these American fighters who demand others move up in weight to fight them while they make little or no sacrifice? Hopkins forces boxers to move up in weight to fight him. Mayweather who claims he is the most fittest fighter in the world refuses to go down to 140 to fight anyone.

This man woke Floyd up from his slumber, Im sorry if youre getting me up out of the bed, you will take what I give you.

Woke up Floyd from his slumber??? He was the one who ordered his henchmen to send feelers out there that he's planning to unretire and to find him a fight. Word got around and JMM called him out, what's wrong with that?

I bet yah he's willing to go back to 140 or even 135 if it was Ivan Calderon who's calling him out!

LMAO!

I never knew they were in negotiations ?

I thought it was just all BS because JMM wants Manny

[PapaMo]

JMM is Floyd's tune up fight... LOL

You are correct he called him out so put up or shut up..Dont whine about the weight. Get his a$$ in there and get knocked out like Hatton. But in all honesty they should at least fight at a catch weight of 143.

JMM should just take what he's given, take the payday because he deserves it

It's a win - win situation, he will lose no credibility if he loses and will collect a career high payday

yea they should have the decency and self respect to fight 40 year old shot fighters!

Why should he have to take it when he actually stands a decent chance at 140 as opposed to being lamb to slaughter at 147??
