>> Although its a little bit harder for me to make 145lbs, I accepted your demand just to give our boxing fans a good fight.
>> Please don't tell me I need this fight badly for money... We all know we both need money...and I can still have a life even without this fight...
>> You did not mentioned the belt when we agreed at 145, why you changed your mind lately and wanted to have it?
>> Yes, WW is from 141 to 147 but I got this belt at 147. I bought it for $100 and you are offering me to buy it for $80. Do you think its fair to me?
>> DLH and Hopkins agreed to fight at catchweight with the belt on the line. That was a different issue. Both of them agreed because of some factors. Again, both of them agreed - and I don't agree on this one... do you have the right to complain and force me to agree? I don't think so..
>> Catchweight is for money and not for legacy... If you really want to fight for legacy, fight with me at 147... for money.. I already agreed @ 145..
>> Though you are the pound for pound king, we are not fighting for your 140 ring magazine belt. We will be fighting on my own weight class and I think it's fair to say that I have the right to decide what to do with my belt... If you don't want to fight @ 147 with the belt or 145 without the belt, I am not interested with the money this fight could generate for both of us...so I will not chase you and give-up my belt...It's my pride who won't allow me and I think I have the right the be treated fairly..
>> and lastly Manny, I'm matured enough... I'm not a child who would accept candy for my gold....
