Mayweather vs. Marquez on July 18 - Two Pounds Apart?

[handler000]

He called him out at 140. If Floyd doesn't want to fight him at that weight, he didn't have to get into negotiations with him, and shouldn't have. And if he can't get down to 140 then he's a natural Welterweight, and should fight Welterweights, not Super-Featherweights.

Did JMM specify a weight or are we assuming?

[GRUSTLER]

No, DLH/Pac was considered a mismatch because Pac was fighting at 130 last year and had only one fight at LW. Fighting at WW was ridiculous.

Now FMJ/JMM is considered a mismatch because JMM was fighting at 130 last year and has only two fights at LW. Likewise fighting at WW is ridiculous. Difference being Floyd isn't nearly as old as DLH and won't be nearly as weight drained, plus JMM doesn't have Pac's power.

That's sounds like an excuse to me if I ever heard one.
To me JMM has even more experience than Pac at higher
weight considering the performances he put on against
Casamayor and Juan Diaz at 135 to win the Lineal title at
that division, Pac didn't. Why wouldn't it be a great fight
between the two? Freddie Roach said he wants to get PBF
at a catch weight if Pac and Floyd decided to fight. Roach
said he would try to give Pacquiao the most advantages he
could over PBF, so JMM fighting PBF at a catch weight shouldn't
be a big deal, especially considering the fact that Roach wouldn't
want Pacquiao to fight him at 147 either. You guys kill me with
these excuses.

Did JMM specify a weight or are we assuming?

yes during JMM VS Juan Diaz post fight interview he said he is willing to fight PBF at 140lbs or even 143lbs max

[dime83]

this fight probably wont happen

if it does its going to be like the when golden girl fought mayweather he had his list of demands that had to be met. now mayweather is the new golden girl he going to want an 80 20 split all the money made off the PPV all promotional rights his own TV show Floyd 360. Im already not looking foward for him to return fight and write another letter about why he is retiring for
100th time in his career

[GRUSTLER]

Then PBF shouldnt have any problems going down to 140lbs to make the fight happen JJM willing to go up to 143lbs which shows how much balls he has given that he has never fought above 135lbs

PBF has been non active for 2YEARS!! & will come back and drop down
in weight to fight the active P4P#2 fighter in the world and people still
think Floyd has an advantage over JMM? That just shows how GREAT
people consider Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny Pacquiao had NO problem
going up for Oscar who is actually bigger than Floyd so why wouldn't
JMM go up to fight Floyd being that their height is only an inch difference
& IF JMM thinks he is that much greater than Pac? Pacquiao wasn't
worried and he was considered an under dog BIG TIME.

jmm is a tune up. you guys forget that jmm is asking for this ass whupping

[larry x]

damn..39 pages...who said this wasnt a big fight???lol

[2fast2strong423]

Normally i would be up in arms with Mayweather tryin' to fight sum1 in such a lower wieght class, but JMM is asking for this fight..... but with that said theres also been many true 147 pounders calling this guy out yet he calls them "too green"? but back to this fight, i think it'll be more interesting to watch than one would think so i'd watch it, i wouldn't pay for it but i'd watch.
