Golden spoiler: Juan Ma-Floyd weights public info before weigh in!

I am such a secret spoiler. One secret soon to go down and one to go.
Now, unless I am a defective detective, I can go to work on how exactly those baby back ribs of Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. got injured badly enough for him to seek and get a two month postponement of his bout against Juan Manuel Marquez.
Much as I hate to cast a *******ial downpour on giddy Golden Boy bossman Richie Rich Schaefer’s promotional parade for this show, which so far has been all about belittling Manny Pacquiao, he and his crack(ed) crew will not be allowed to keep the contractual weights top secret until the official weigh in.
Maybe RR worked in the private banking field for UBS too long because he must know that certain information as to boxing is in the public domain.
I thought the weights, being part of the bout contract, would be just that. But to be careful, I rang up Keith Kizer, the affable and reliable successor to the great Marc Ratner (we lost him to Dana White and big UFC bucks) as executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
“This will be the best attended weigh in ever,” Schaefer crowed on Wednesday’s international media conference call for the Sept. 19 Las Vegas card. “Everyone will come to find out the weights.”
Mayweather played his little CIA (Central Inanity Agency?) games as well, only telling journalists that it was a welterweight division bout. Juan Ma played the silly game also but he seems just to be along for the ride.
Turns out Richie Rich is wrong and Detective Marley (whose paternal grandfather was chief of all cops in Beverly, Ma.) is all right.
Kizer confirmed that.
“We don’t get the actual bout contract until a few days before the fight,” Kizer said from his Vegas office.
“But there is what we call an Advance Sheet that the promoters send to us 10 days before the event. That will list all the bouts and all the weights except perhaps for a prelim or two. Certainly the maximum weights for the main event will be on there.”
Kizer then confirmed that is public information easily accessible through the commission.
Scratch one lame promotional "angle." Better rev up the "Pacquiao sucks" campaign again or the "Arum is too greedy" story.
Me, I’m moving on to the somewhat cold case of the smoked ribs.
I may have to put some special sauce on this one.
That Mayweather is something. Guy’s got more secrets than the old KGB had.
This is pretty interesting Oscar would be pissed . They are being so gay about the weight issues . I hope it gets blown up.
