Penalties eyed if Floyd is overweight

[.Sakuragi.]

The Floyd-Marquez was a 144 non title bout, Mayweather came 146, I dont see any problems of him making 147....

[Calilloyd]

when was the last time he fought at 147? before he retired?

In his last fight after retirement. You must have missed it.

Fearing that Floyd Mayweather may make a mockery of the agreed welterweight limit of 147 lbs on March 13, 2010, Manny Pacquiao’s camp is making sure the flashy American fighter is going to play by the rules.

“Our concern is that Floyd might come in at 150 lbs during the official weighin (on the eve of the fight),” said Pacquiao lawyer Franklin Gacal on Monday when asked about the measures the Filipino star is undertaking to guarantee that he doesn’t end up getting the raw end of the deal.

While Gacal acknowledges the fact that contracts have yet to be signed, a clause must be included in the contract that will penalize Mayweather in case he exceeds the agreed weight limit.

“Of course, we will not let this pass,” said Gacal, noting that a penalty of not lower than $1 million per pound will be slapped in excess of 147 lbs against Mayweather. “We will put that particular provision in the contract.”

When Mayweather fought Juan Manuel Marquez last September, he didn’t mind shelling out thousands of dollars after he could not meet the agreed weight of 144 lbs as he tipped the scales at 146.

In the end, Mayweather was forced to cough up a total of $600,000 as every pound cost him $300,000.

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum is now back in the US after conferring with Pacquiao last week and a meeting with Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) Chief Executive Officer Richard Schaefer is set for Monday. Schaefer has been given the authority to represent Mayweather in the negotiations.

Are there not penalties for weighin over the limit anyway? What is the point of this? Floyd won't come in above 147.

there were loads of threads here saying that anything below 147 is not welterweight. see the pac-cotto threads.

he wanted to fight at 154. put a 2 million per pound penalty for insurance

Floyd is gonna make 50+ million for the fight. It would be funny if he came in at 150 and whipped Pac ass

It's for the belt. if Floyd beats Pac at 138, they vacate the belt. He will make it.

Pac Army, don't worry.

you dont have one quote nor link of floyd saying he wanted the fight at 154..just roach talking more ****,.....

[Ekscape]

lol this is dumb **** man... Floyd came in at 146 against Marquez... This fight is a title fight so if he came in over the limit the title wouldnt be on the line.. He'll make 147 easily, that's his division... Gascal is an idiot

[M.I.C.]

There Team Pacquiao goes again trying to paint Mayweather as the big man and Pac as the little man, as we all know, Pac only fights giants. I say after this fight how about Pac vs the Minotaur, of course the Minotaur would have to agree to a catchweight.


I also hear that Grendel want's a rematch
