Why MAYWEATHER did not make weight. (video)

[Young Mike]

He talks about Ricky Hatton holding. It looks like he hasn't seen his own fights where he holds Hatton and Marquez arm.

You want to know why he made so much money for that lightweight fight? It was the right place at the right time.

1. He announced during the hatton vs pacman,
2. He fought it on Mexican independence day vs a highly popular fighter in Mexico
3. It was his debut after a 2 year lay off, people will want to see how good he is.

If he were to fight another light weight again, I guarentee you he won't make nearly as much.

1) Mexican buys do not factor into the 1 MM sales. And the sales reflect that the fight did well across all demographics. But thanks for your attempt, sir.

2) So, if there was a question about his ability to perform, do you think it would have been wise for FMJ to take Shane or Pac as the comeback fight?

But thanks for that contribution.

OMG he holds! Cheater! Only the opponent can hold and not him.

Floyd held Hatton A LOT. I don't think he held marquez much at all.

You were one of those haters that thought he wasn't going to do 500k weren't you?

Keep making excuses.

Yeah,

That was a bit embarrassing for Rocky.

Whether it drains you or not, it's not fair to JMM. If you can't make that weight, you shouldn't have signed the contract, instead of rewriting the weight and handing in the new contract at the weigh in.

[-EX-]

At the post fight press conference he said he jogged at his house on his treadmill and weighed 145...he said so he thought when he got to the weigh-in he'd weigh that much...

Believe what you want...according to Floyd I guess he did try to make the weight...

But all **** aside if you can't make the weight don't sign the contract...

And this aint the first time someone hasn't made weight and it won't be the last...

There is a certain shamelessness that is required to be a top boxer. Or, really, any occupation that requires self-promotion.

I understand all this, as long as his fans also understand what Floyd is all about, which is shameless (your words) and gutless. Too bad, what he lacks in talent, he lacks in pride, dignity, heart and courage. It's all about money for the smartest man in boxing. As long as the nuthugger's know this, I don't have a problem with how he behaves. Just don't defend him.

Please, Floyds holds fighter while punching them. He fights dirty.
But learn this. If a fighter starts to critic another fighter for doing something he does as much as any other why don't he just shuts the hell up?

He's trying to find holes in other fighters when he does the same ****. And he's the one doing the talking more than any other. So he's the one that is bringing this to himself. Now you don't look at that, you just defend someone not cause you feel he's right, but cause your a die hard fan that will defend someone even if he's wrong and in the process make a fool out of yourself.
