      It should still be all good, right?

      I mean Pacquiao went in 142 officially against DLH in the 147 welterweight limit and 138 against Hatton's 140 junior WW limit. Marquez should not make the weight an issue right?

        i noticed marquez took a peak at the scale and then told oscar and someone else.
        Yeah I saw that too, man. And for a second Oscar looked kind of pissed if it wasn't my imagination.

          The contract weight was 144. Mayweather is obligated to pay marquez $600,000 for being overweight ($300,000 per pound).

          This is from ESPN.

            yeah man. it wasn't your imagination... i played it in slow motion over 10 times. oscars reaction is only shown for a second, but you can clearly see he's like "what!? are you serious :/".

            also when mayweather's done, and he calls marquez to pose for the cameras .. marquez tells mayweather as if to say "that's not what we agreed on". you can clearly see it after mayweather steps off the scale.

            this kind of **** disgusts me man. still enjoying the fight though, but i dislike bitches and their ***** moves. specially when it's done to guys like marquez. come on now.

                Floyd didn't want to hit the Sauna for a couple hours, so instead he threw some money at Marquez at the last second in order to get his bigger Payday. In most places this kind of business practice is frowned upon.

                  I've never been this disgusted to a fighter before, I have no respect now for Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                    JMM is too proud to back down. Man is a beast. But he was ****ed already. Now it's even worse.

                      It's like Floyd just gave up on making weight and just decided to pay for the two pounds instead of working them off. Marquez just had another card stacked against him tomorrow.
