If a God truly exists, Marquez has to win tomorrow.....

[Doctor_Tenma]

GOD loves everyone equally, except those who know the truth and don't want to accept. If Marquez doesn't win, Mayweather is the better man

The 2 lbs was VERY unprofessional but that isn't gonna make a difference. Understand that Mayweather could have possibly been struggling to make 144. This will play to Marquez's advantage. Funny how Mayweather has to be weaken to certain extent for Marquez to win (Talk about 2 year layoff not being enough). That's GREATNESS right there.

I'm not too happy, I wanted Mayweather to get credit for this bout but that wasn't gonna happen I see. That said, If Mayweather can pull it off, this is a really good win. After tommorow, let's see what Mayweather plans to do.

[-EX-]

so what should God give a **** about?

aids? hiv? cancer? war & genocide? greed & corruption?


Im a atheist btw.

If God intervenes in daily activities I think he has plenty more IMPORTANT things to tend to than a boxing match...a sport where two bash each other in the head for money...

It says here on ESPN that JMM knew on Wednesday that Floyd wasnt going to make weight and signed off on it....

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=4485941

However, several sources with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com all along that the contract maximum weight was 144 pounds, three less than the 147-pound welterweight maximum.

But after Friday's weigh-in, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer finally addressed the issue, telling ESPN.com, "The fight was contracted as a welterweight fight with an agreed upon weight of 144 pounds. However, there were pre-negotiated weight penalties built in."

Schaefer would not disclose the dollar figure, but another source with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com that the penalty was $300,000 per pound if either fighter was overweight.

According to the source, the Marquez camp knew Wednesday night that Mayweather would not make weight because Mayweather's team made overtures to Golden Boy Promotions in an effort to have Marquez agree to change weight on the bout agreements to be filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

However, Marquez's contract had already been filed reading 144 pounds, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer. But Kizer said the bout agreement was retrieved from the commission by Golden Boy Promotions and changed to 147 with Marquez initialing it.

Mayweather's contract with 147 pounds was not filed with the commission until minutes before the weigh-in. Kizer said it was supposed to be filed on Wednesday.

Kizer said the Mayweather camp asked to file it Thursday and he said OK, but that deadline also came and went.

"We were very unhappy with the lateness of Mr. Mayweather's contract," Kizer said.

Kizer said that had the bout agreements not been changed to 147, Mayweather would have faced a fine from the commission in addition to whatever penalty he had agreed to pay Marquez. For being two pounds overweight, Kizer said the penalty would have been 10 percent of his purse, or $1 million. Had he been three pounds over (147 pounds), the figure would have jumped to a 20 percent fine.


This just does not look right at all....

God, if he exists, doesn't find it necessary to interfere with war, genocide, corruption, greed, etc.

I doubt he'll change his ways over a prize fight.

Sorry Brah.

[Verstyle]

Its often been said sports is a microcosm of society. That we see the best of the human condition & the worst of the human condition in sports & our athletes that compete in it.

What happend today at the weigh in & how a already outgunned juan manuel marquez, & how the whole scenario played out before the weigh in is just utterly de****able.

Righteousness, justice, civility,humility, & peace is losing to wickedness, corruption,anarchy, war, & evil.


If there is a God, Juan Manuel Marquez will win tomorow.....

If there truly is such a thing as karma, this piece of chicken **** scumbag will lose tomorow.....

If there is truly a higher being that watches over us, tomorrow is the time to start showing us the true meaning of divine intervention.

A marquez victory will show as that there is a God, that there is righteousness, that there is a reason for us being here, that eventually the good guys beat the bad guys.


Whoever you are out there, Jesus, Allah, Buddah.....

give us a sign, give humanity a glimmer of hope....

I keep trying to tell you guys:

In life, you don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.

...but your doe-eyed idealism is kinda cute.

Dominicano.

It was not unprofessional.

Unprofessional was what Castiilo did (twice). Or what Corrales did. Or what Campbell did. Or what guzman did.

Did you see how smoothly the weigh-in went? No surprises. That was because it WAS handled professionally. They wanted to change the weight, and they got parties to agree and sign contracts.

Team marquez is fine. the commission is fine. Everybody is fine.

Now, you may feel that it violated the spirit of fair competition. You can argue that point. You can't argue the professionalism.

All Floyd did was exercise a clause in the contract. Oscar had the same clause in the Pac contract (only a mil per pound). Remember?

Everybody take a deep breath.
