Wait wtf someone explain to me the Mayweather-Marquez weight

[The_Bull]

This **** is just way too confusing. This is from The RING website:

At least the fighters appeared to agree on a catch weight of 144 pounds, as it was explained by Marquez’s camp when the fight was announced on May 2.

However, now, even that equalizer is gone. The sides have agreed in the end that this will be a welterweight fight, meaning they can weigh as much as 147 pounds. That’s exactly what Mayweather weighed in his last fight, against Ricky Hatton in December 2007.

So what this is 147lbs or what????? I see some other articles saying 143, others 144, and this one saying 147. Golden Boy should juts put this **** down and explain to us what ****ign weight this fight is going to be at. This is a PPV fight were all going to pay and as the consumers we deserve to know the stipulations of the fight.

its at 147 now. The 143 stuff didn't go well with Floyd.

[MANGLER]

Was WW before, but catchweight of 143. Now Mr boat buyer is demandin full fledged 147.

That sucks it now has become less interesting because it favors Mayweather and is a disadvantage for Marquez.

[Roxas]

are there any legitimate sources that state this or is this just from one article

[ЯiZО]

Mayweather is too fat.

[MakeDamnSure]

That's the best fighter of this era, Not This Time, but of all time!
