    Mayweather couldnt make the weight

    He couldnt make it to 144 without it hurting him.

    Why else would he change the weight practically the night before the weigh in from 144 to a regular 147 fight?

      Catchweights are so yesterday. Evidently, the new trend is weigh whatever the hell you want. At least if you're FMJ...

        I think Mayweather really was weight drained in those pictures that people were talking about.

        thats why he decided to pay off Golden Boy/Marquez a day or so before the fight so he could fix himself up.

          They are both welter weights. 141-147.

          The catchweight at 144 was used as a clause in their agreement yo make the fight, and if Floyd couldn't make it then he would pay Marquez a fine, is all.

            I get that, but the surprising thing is that Floyd really couldnt make the weight.

            he might really have been weight drained at those recent press conferences where some people said he looked tired.

            He must have gained weight naturally over the last 2 years

              Well, it ain't like we did not realize that Marquez is there just a fall man and Floyd is calling the shots on whatever he wants.

                Very disappointing on Floyds part , people are watching everything he does and to not make the weight is a big no no , this will hurt Floyd publicly more than he realizes , you make a deal on a set weight its got to be met its honorable to make the weight , disappointing !!

                  floyd never intended to make 144 lbs. floyd planned to come in at 147 lbs all along. that's why he was being ambiguous about the catchweight in the beginning.

                    I don't think he could have safely made it either, why else would he be willing to pay a fine? What I am thinking about now is, what if tomorrow night Floyd blows up to 155 and JMM is still 142 or 143.....he looked natural on the scale to me like that is what he is walking around at.
