According to your own post it was a catchweightfight at 144 with heavy fines for weighing in above the stipulated weight.
no the contracted weight for the fight which was signed months ago was 147lbs. They only thing they agreed on was to pay a fee for anything over 144 but that doesn't mean thats the contracted weight. The contracted weight was 147, marquez knew and didnt' care floyd was coming at 146 that's still a whole pound under the contract.
****** the fight was at the limit of 147. No one agreed to come in at 144. the only thing they agreed on was to pay a fee for each pound over 144 they come in at.
LAS VEGAS – Floyd Mayweather Jr. made the contracted weight of 147 pounds for his HBO Pay-Per-View fight on Saturday with Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
But when Mayweather weighed 146 pounds at Friday’s weigh-in, he was forced to pay a six-figure penalty to Marquez for coming in at more than 144 pounds, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said.
Schaefer said the contract the fighters signed in May was for the bout to be at a limit of 147 pounds. But in that contract, each man agreed to a substantial penalty clause for every pound, or fraction thereof, more than 144.
Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said there was no issue with the weight from a commission standpoint. Kizer said he went to Marquez’s locker room prior to the weigh-in and asked him if he was aware that Mayweather would weigh more than 144.
Kizer said Marquez told him he had no problem with it.
For years, *****s have insisted he can get down to 140 and 135 even, despite the more level headed posters trying to educate them on how the human body works as we get older.
Floyd couldn't make weight, not surprising since many of us never thought he could get to 140 much less 135 to begin with.
What is surprising is how a supposed focused and all time professional and boxing history buff to boot, would scam not only his opponent, but the public as well.
All of that takes a huge **** on their perception of being able to make 140, or their claims of him being this tiny welterweight.
I was merely poiting out that just because Floyds fan say he can make 135, doesnt mean he can.. and it doesnt mean he should be able to make 144 easily either...
On the other hand, it doesnt excuse Floyd... if the fight was set at a catchweight of 144... thats what he should of came in at.

"Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaeffer did confirm the fight was contracted for 144lbs and there will be penalties mayweather will have to deal with."
