They will try to push Floyd to 142 probably...it should be between 145 and 147
Pacman has shown he can carry the weight...and if he's supposed to be a welterweight star...then 140 should be out of the questionComment

The fight should take place at 147lbs. I don't know why the fight with Cotto took place at 145lbs I won't say it took shine away from the victory because it was damn impressive. I just don't know why doing such a thing was necessary.
At 147lbs both fighters can weigh in at their best and there would be no excuses if one of fighters were to lose.Comment

147 with a 50/50 split of purses
PPV split
Arum 15 cents of every dollar
Pac - 10 cents of every dollar
Mayweather - 25 cents of every dollar(up to him if he wants to include Golden Boy. If I was him I wouldn't and let Arum and HBO promote and produce the thing. Golden Boy is not needed on this one. FM would just be wasting his money by including them.Comment

First off let me congratulate Pac on his win. The guy is amazing.
Now, on to the business of things. This whole welter thing is really getting out of hand. Everyone wants to act like it's ok to change the rules as long as you are a star (like Manny). The point here is if you want to call yourself WW champion then you have to fight according what the weigh in that division calls which is 147lbs! Damn it people stop F*****g sugar coating ****! What if every division start doing this crap? We would have a mess! The fact is when you start asking another fighter to come down to your weigh and then you turn around and say I fought in his weigh division you are a LIAR! You're practically inventing a new weigh division, plain and simple.
Whether we like it or not there will be an * next to Pac's in these fights where his apponents were asked to go down in weigh and at the same time calling a WW fight. I will always call things for what they are. Don't expect to be called a blank(weigh division) champion if you asked your opponent to limit himself (which is changing the ***** rules!). You cannot be called a true champion in that division without the * next to your name.
Others will disagree with me but they know what the deal is.
But....think about it this way:
It's like challenging someone on the 100 yard dash and at the same time saying..."I'll do it but only if we run 90 yards!" WTF????
There you have it...like it or not...it is what it is.Comment
