Pacquiao's catchweights

[Roadblock]

Marquez wasn't a fight it was a farce.

It was an exhibition of skills above your comprehension, stay in the back feeding seagulls that's where you belong.

Thats a lot of excuse for a welterweight who just welched a lightweight on the scales and paid for the priviledge:

Floyd Mayweather loses $600K after missing weight for Juan Manuel Marquez fight

LAS VEGAS -- A day after Floyd Mayweater missed his agreed-upon catch weight by two pounds for his fight late Saturday against Juan Manuel Marquez, two questions still prevailed.

When did he know he wasn't going to make 144 pounds?

And did he ever intend to try?

The Mayweather-Marquez contracts called for a welterweight fight -- 147 pounds -- but with an agreed-upon weight of 144 pounds.

Mayweather weighed 146 pounds at Friday's official weigh-in, to Marquez's 142.

If either fighter failed to make the catch weight, he was contractually bound to pay his opponent $300,000 for each pound he weighed heavier than 144.

That means Marquez essentially received a 30-percent bonus payment beyond his $2 million contractual purse -- $600,000 -- because Mayweather came in two pounds too heavy.

"Want me to be honest?" Mayweather said after his dominant 12-round decision win.

"Yesterday, when I woke up in the morning, I weighed at my house. I think I weighed 145 1/2 so I said, 'You know what, at least let me get down to at least 145.'

"So I jogged for 20 minutes on the treadmill at my house and I weighed 145-point-zero. So I thought when I got here, I was going to get on the scales and it was going to say 145. But I ain't crying or complaining. If the extra money is something they wanted, then it is what it is."

Marquez weighed 148 on HBO's unofficial scale Saturday night. Mayweather refused the network's request for a night-of-fight weigh-in.

"I think the weight was a big problem," said Marquez, who never officially weighed in heavier than 135 pounds previously. "I think there was maybe a 20-pound difference in weight."

Roger Mayweather, who trains his nephew, said shortly after the weigh-in that he had no idea what the contractual payment required but said he thought it would be four figures, or perhaps low five figures, for each pound overweight.

He grossly underestimated the penalty, of course, and said his nephew could have made 144 pounds, and attempted to do so.

He suggested his nephew might return to the scale within the two-hour time limit allowed by Nevada statute for a fighter to make weight, but that did not happen.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. said he was with his son until midnight the night before the weigh-in, "and he wasn't trying to dry out," the traditional nourishment and hydration deprivation fighters go through the night before a weigh-in.

Keith Kizer, Nevada Athletic Commission executive director, said both camps became aware Friday morning that Mayweather would not make the agreed-upon weight, a notification which struck many as curious.

"If this was built into the contract then why did they have that meeting?" said Bert Sugar, boxing author and historian. "What was that all about?"

The guy was already a lightweight how many more advantages did your boy need.
TBC. The best catchweights.

You have no clue you dumb fck lol.

But didnt you just say their opponents are no better no worse, did Manny and Canelo also have no risk with the same level of opponents.lol or are the same level no risk for Floyd because he was better than Canelo and Manny, actually, Manny doesn't even belong in the same conversation with Floyd and Canelo, they both a class above Manny the 8 time loser.

Its a wonder you got any feet left the number of times you shoot yourself in the foot.

Gtfoh. Manny is constantly giving up height and reach to guys. Margarito Horn Ugas Thurman etc. Took on all comers stylistic nightmares you name it. Floyd was scared of Margarito and Winky Wright after talking mad s**t about them actually backed out of the fights because it was high risk we saw how Manny handled Margarito. Manny started losing after being an already ko'd shopworn fighter its no shame in that. After being a ko'd shopworn fighter is when your man crush Floyd didn't fear for his health as much ie low to no risk and still fought like a scared dude ran and held all night and you get moist over that mediocrity.

You constantly on here caping for Floyd extra hard because he gets boatloads of non respect and criticism for that cherrypicked resume.

Boxing is weight, that's why we have weight classes, 6'1'' Mark Breland would be destroyed by 5'10 Mike Tyson, I would think that would be obvious I guess some boxing fans don't understand the basics.

Manny was heavier in many of his wins, especially in the Barrera Morales days.

Lots of proof of a weight bully back in the day, later on he learned how to get that weight advantage back from bigger guys, drain them with a CW. wow check that out, 16 years ago little Manny at 130 weigh-in was 144 on fight night.

You have no clue you dumb fck lol.

I know an excuse when I see one:

"Yesterday, when I woke up in the morning, I weighed at my house. I think I weighed 145 1/2 so I said, 'You know what, at least let me get down to at least 145.'

"So I jogged for 20 minutes on the treadmill at my house and I weighed 145-point-zero. So I thought when I got here, I was going to get on the scales and it was going to say 145. But I ain't crying or complaining. If the extra money is something they wanted, then it is what it is."

Mind yous the weight agreement was 144


Ha the Marquez camp did not cry or complain. Didn't want extra money. They wanted your boy to honor the agreement. Judging by how much hard work and dedication he put into losing the weight on the treadmill, he clearly had no intentions of honoring the weight agreement, but this is how sheisty piece of s&&t con artists operate.

Insert more Floyd excuses here:

It was a cherrypick

No 2 in the world, coming off two big stoppage wins, a HOFer that planked Manny, a 2lb weight difference on the night.

Floyd made it look like a cherry-pick just like he made Canelo and Manny look like cherry-picks, which comes from being a class above them.

No wonder you follow a loser, you just have that losing aura all around you.

Boxing is more than just weight its height reach as well and how you utilize those advantages and non advantages makes all the difference.

You just want to make up excuses to pedestalize Floyd for beating the same short short armed flat footed slow fighters while the informed class understands more credit and respect goes to the cats who constantly slay the dragons.

Marquez was also a lightweight who Floyd already had a height and reach advantage over and on top of that, cheated on the scales. You conveniently left that piece of info out for good reason.

With all those advantages Floyd should have knocked the guy out the ring not safely box to a boring points win. Its obvious the guy didn't belong in there, but we already know how you card carrying Floyd Boys pedestalize mediocrity.
