Mayweather responds to Weight Controversy!(VIDEO)

[Ekscape]

This is a welterweight fight with no title at hand... As long the weight in at welterweight 140-147 i dont give a **** i just wanna see a good fight

[alexpz]

mayweather will not win..

[Vasyl’s dad]

lol at the stans. The entire time preceding this fight, they insisted that it wasn't a full fledged welterweight fight because of the catchweight deal.

All of sudden, Floyd pulls a fast one,

even though his loyal band of jesters think he can get to 140,


and comes in over weight and its suddenly a welterweight fight.

Spin City at its finest.

Execute the gameplan? I thought he didn't have a gameplan

I hear you man! I was going to ask the exact same thing.

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

That is not a response its a cop out.

[Sir Tom Jones]

everyone seems to think this is a ***** move.


Mayweather is sadly going to knock Juan out. Well that is my prediction anyway.

[Mr. Philadel]

all I know is that he BETTER win by stoppage or he'll look like a even bigger clown than now!!!!

[Sir Tom Jones]

all I know is that he BETTER win by stoppage or he'll look like a even bigger clown than now!!!!

Yeah he better.

This is a win - win situation forf Juan but nothing much to gain for Floyd.

The stans are amazing. this isnt about 2lbs. its the principle. floyd beats him at any weight, but now he broke a contract to gain a further advantage to which he already has every advantage. its not like he couldnt make the weight, so y pull this for marquez? y open urself up to criticism? as a leader in the game its a ****ty attitude and sets a pretty bad example. you'll beat him regardless atleast have the decency to honor a godamn contract. You wonder why this fight never sold out, well there ya have it. an already tuneup fight became even less than a tuneup. 2lbs may be 2 lbs but an advantage is an advantage regardless of how big. y open urself up to criticism :s.

[Puntoyhauf]

some people taking this **** way too serious

So a sport that had people spitting blood, acquiring brain related diseases, ending up in a coma, or if they aint lucky enough...dies in the ring... NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

My guess:

Mayweather relies on timing/speed/accuracy/stamina. Those are the attributes that erode the most during a layoff. Not power or chin.

So, Floyd wanted a tuneup-ish fight, but didn't want to call it a tuneup. So, instead of fighting Collazo or Hlatschwayo or Quintana, he takes a smaller guy. Boxing history is littered with examples of champions returning from a loss or layoff by taking a smaller guy. Oscar took Forbes and hatton took Lazcano. After his loss, Shane took Estrada. A journeyman.

But, anyway, I heard Marquez say "quiero pelear con mayweather a cientos cuarenta o un poquito mas". Well, here ya go. Marquez has great name recognition, and could pull in the Mex crowd. A Collazo fight would not be NEARLY as big as this.

I'm entertained by the venom towards PBF on this board. i guess i just don't get it.

This is a good fight. A fair fight. I'm excited.

WOW...just wow! this fight's not even fair when it was made...all the advantages to Floyd is a fair fight to you? this sport is not for you.

I believe it's 4lbs sir... 142lbs=JMM and 146lbs=FMJ.
and that is just at the weigh in...expect a much bigger Floyd come fight time.
