Mayweather vs. Marquez Negotiations Stalled on Weight

[LilGizmo562]

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

Damn the Gatti fans needed help

Both sides have good points to support their idea...it is true Marquez called Mayweather out...but so has half of the WW division, so to take the smallest guy calling you out and making him fight at a weight your comfortable with but not the top guys in that weight IS a ***** move (even though I can see Floyd beating most if not all of the WWs) I think they should meet at a catchweight 143-145 at the most.

Who is the top of the WW division? Shane? Floyd try to get him to fight twice he turned him down so why should Floyd fight him now because Shane think he is ready? And Cotto is scared to call anybody out. He could have got it at 140 but had second thoughts when he was on the 5th row when Floyd punished Gatti. So please get some new sh**

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 $$$

I read close to every article on here and have never seen nothing regarding Haymon making Floyd come down from his $ demands. Floyd will not fight for less than 8 mil, he's looking for 10, and JMM would want 4-5 at the least. HBO will not put this on the network, it'll be ppv, and I'll bet you 10k if this comes off it won't.

Floyd wants to fight on regular HBO because he doesn't want to hurt his weight at the negotiation tables with Pac by bombing on ppv, but HBO can not afford him so they pretty much have to go that route and Marquez is the only available b-side that will get him the numbers he wants and at the same time not pose as big a threat.

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??

Whos to say he stands a decent chance against a legitmate 140 pounder? I dont see him beating Campbell or Bradley at 140.

Regardless of the past, NOW Mosley and Cotto(Fans more then him) want to get in the ring with Floyd, I still think he can beat them both so why not beat them and make 20+ mil?

When in the hell has JMM made 4-5 mil in a fight??? Where do you get these numbers?

Floyd wants this fight at 147 cause he knows he can compromise to a catch weight between 140 n 147. Anything from 140 on up will be a huge advantage for Floyd. Marquez is great, but Mayweather will try to get every advantage he can get. He will probably ask for a 1000 foot ring as well so that he can run all day.

So if Floyd doesnt want to NOW he has to be a B**CH? So did you call Mosley and Cotto a B**CH when they didnt want to fight or is it just a double standard?

So you're just going to try to pick at one thing from a slew of info? Lol. I'm not sure if he's made 4-5, but I know he made more than 3 in the Pacquiao rematch and was apart of the highest selling ppv under 147. JMM will want and would get at least 4-5 mil in what would be a career high payday to fight Mayweather. Why do you think he wants to fight him?

Are u confusing boxing and running? Definition of running would be what Oscar did in the last 3rds against Trinindad. Could you please refresh my memory and tell me what fight has Floyd ran in??
