Mayweather vs Marquez Bumped Up To 147-Pounds?

[Me La Pelan]

The "catch weight" dilema is easily explained!!!

140 is the Jr. Welterweight max. and 147 is the WW MAX

So a fight anywhere in between can be concidered a catch weight for a welterweight fight.

Punk move if its true, I don't know what Floyd fans think but I think its a punk move since Marquez has never fought above 135. The Cotto/Pacquiao case was different since Manny has fought at 140 and 147. This fight is a disgrace and I really hope this fight doesn't sell if 147 is the truth.

i cant believe people are still defending floyd with this ***** move.....

wow...this is pathetic if true.

Nacho said that Floyd will come to the ring at 160 come fight
night but when has Floyd ever come to the ring in a Welter Weight
fight weighing over 146? In the Judah fight he weighed 146, same as
the weigh in. The fight with Oscar at 160, Floyd weight 148 on fight night.
I think it is commendable for JMM to fight at 147 instead of a made up
catch weight. He already said that the weight wasn't an issue. It's
funny to me that people would bash Floyd for fighting Marquez at
147 but Cosign Freddie and Pac for trying to get Cotto down to 143?
Actually, Pacquiao should be fighting Cotto at 147 instead of 145.
If you ask me, JMM has more balls than Manny. You guys are mad
because Floyd is making Marquez fight at 147 but that's a real weight
class not 143/44/45.

Your wrong because if anything Manny SHOULD BE FIGHTING COTTO
AT 147 because Manny has already fought at WW limit before and not
JMM. So by Roach and Manny making Cotto move down to fight Pac
is not the same because Manny is supposed to be able to hang at 147.

This is pretty pathetic if true.

mmmm

i got a feeling floyd cant make 143 so he fake the injuried to give himself more time to make it thats what contracts are for if the fight was sign at 143 it has to be at the contracted weight unless gbp has already sold juan manuel so floyd can keep fighting undefeted for the remaining fights whit gbp i hope juan shocks the world by beating floyd

You're right about Marquez having more balls than Pacquiao. JMM would take this fight at 147 if it came down to that. Pacquiao has a lot of leverage to do what he does though. So you can't blame someone in his position I suppose. As a JMM fan, part of me actually does want this fight to be at 147 so Marquez will get more credit if he beats Floyd. The credit he will get has already been marginalized a little bit because of this injury that Floyd had supposedly suffered to go along with Mayweather's layoff. But I will say that if this story is true, Mayweather is looking like a ***** and deserves all the negative criticism he's getting on here. I'm one of those people that doesn't continually tear him down however like a lot of other posters do even though I don't like Floyd.

well tbh marquez could do a pacquaio and shock the world at 147.
