Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[Jean28]

Wow, everything with floyd IS a problem. Just fight at 140. Whats the problem? Marquez is not the one coming back from a premature retirement.

fight at a catchweight of 145-143... best solution

yes, i agree and so does jmm. he says he'd be willing to make the fight as high as 144lbs but still no? i think itd be a great friggin fight and much more competitive than the pbf vs. dlh or hatton fights.

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]

Mayweather so sneaky with the weight thing.

why? floyd can fight at 140. He's just trying to guard against a loss.

if pbf doesnt want it at 140-144 maybe cotto would? now jmm vs. cotto would be a boxing clinic for the ages. you could teach boxing 101 with that tape.

i think u forgot that boxing is a sport put on to entertain people not bore them.

Marquez shouldn't have called out Floyd if he wasn't considering moving up to 147. Mayweather shouldn't budge on this issue.
