    who said pac will fight next spring? he can lay off until june or july and watch floyd beg on his knees for a fight.

      Catch weight is only for mental/negotiation games.
      come on man... Everyone has always considered Floyd a "small" WW because he was... But over his two year lay-off and seeing him this past September we all realized that he definetly grew in to his Welterweight body... He looked bigger then ever before... He could even make 154 a couple years ago when he tried but now i bet he could make 154 easily

          In that Sky interview, Floyd kept insisting that Pac and JMM are the same size.

          Do it at 144 then!

            Roach is generous. Floyd agreed to a 144 lb with Marquez and Roach is giving him 145.

            Floyd should be thankful.

            65-35 split in favor of Pac for the purse!

              Sure, he can come in at 140¼ if he wants. That's his option.

              His opponent, however, should be allowed to come in at 147 on the dot - no need to impose restrictions on their chances to win the fight.

              So if the latter does indeed take place again, a certain beltholder and his trainer are going to look like a pair of very tight *******...

                Manny and Roach jus OFFICIALLY DUCKED Floyd..

                Manny is a legit welter weight.

                  And if he does the fight should be canceled and he should be fined.

                    What, Pacquiao is outright unable to fight Mayweather at 147? Oh dear.
