Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[Ido]

Here is an interesting fact.

Floyd still has not come back. Regardless if this deal flies or not. JMM is still gunning out for either Hatton or Pac-Man. In any case, maybe he should prove just how dangerous he is at 140 by challenging Victor Ortiz or Nate Campbell.

A lot of people keeps saying this, how does calling out Floyd get in Manny's head? Unless JMM knew PAC wanted to fight Floyd after Hatton. But that still doesnt help JMM because NO ONE needs him to make a big fight. He should go back and negotiate at a catch weight or go fight someone else at 140. He is not in the position to demand SH**

well in reality, neither of them are in positions to be demanding. marquez isn't a big seller, and floyd is retired and looking for a tune up. IMO he should fight another lower selling fighter that isn't #2 p4p. i mean, the second best fighter shouldn't lower his demands. neither does the biggest seller, so they should just forget about this ever happening and look for other fighters to beat

so... the man with the ring magazine, wba, ibo, and wbo belts isn't the top dog at 135? how many belts does pac has in 135?

Pac owns JMM. Who is chasing who. JMM wants that Morales, JCC Sr., Barrera, Pacman, Floyd legacy. He doesn't want to dare to be great. This is a guy who lossed 2x vs Pac if it wasn't for a judges error and gets beat by Chris John. I respect him as a boxer but thats it.

This is impossible for Floyd. He will not make alot of money fighting people not in the spotlight. Then if he goes with it anyways, every idiot here will claim he is ducking.

JMM is the only one with options. He thought he would look cool calling out Floyd because he thought Floyd would just say he is retired. Now that Floyd wants to fight, he is backing out.

How is meeting at 140 half way? JMM was moving to 140 anyway!!

he wasn't moving up because he couldn't manage 130 or 135. he's just following pac around in hopes of a third fight. if pac moves up, so will he. it's kind of sad, but the only way for him to get what he wants is to follow others fighters. he SHOULD demand what his resume shows, but he'll never get it

he's better off forgetting about floyd and pac and moving on to other interesting fights, even it they don't sell half what pac or floyd sell

that's irrelevant to what you said. the #1 man in a weight class is the man that fights AND wins AND unifies nearly all belts. he IS the top 135 pound fighter and he has FOUR belts to prove it.

pac doesn't have a single one because he's not a 135 ponder. he vacated the belt and left that weight class, so how is he the top 135 boxer without being a 135 boxer anymore?

Floyd Mayeather should stay retired, i don give a crap about that dude,
JMM KO two very strong Lightweights, What May did? Bored the hell out of people?
The only people asking for Mayweather to come back are the ones with insomnia.

well, floyd won't point a gun at marquez for a fight under his terms (@147), and i doubt that marquez will accept a fight at welter

BTW, marquez said that he was planning to move up to 140 to call out floyd and pac/hatton were the other possibility. explain to me how is he backing out if he clearly said that he was challenging floyd and/or the winner of pac hatton at 140 pounds

he's doing just what he said

If you are the biggest seller you are entitled to demands ask Oscar. Do you honestly think DLH cared about a P4P list? When was the last time DLH split a fight 50-50? The one who puts the ASS** in the seats and sells PPV get to make the demands.
