It's the commissions job to penalize overweight fighters
Collapse
-
Floyd Mayweather Jr. weighed in at 146 pounds on Friday afternoon, two pounds heavier than the weight stipulated in the contract for his comeback fight against lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
"According to the source, the Marquez camp knew Wednesday night that Mayweather would not make weight because Mayweather's team made overtures to Golden Boy Promotions in an effort to have Marquez agree to change weight on the bout agreements to be filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
However, Marquez's contract had already been filed reading 144 pounds, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer. But Kizer said the bout agreement was retrieved from the commission by Golden Boy Promotions and changed to 147 with Marquez initialing it.
Mayweather's contract with 147 pounds was not filed with the commission until minutes before the weigh-in."

Are you ******? When a weight is agreed upon they are talking about the weightclass i.e. a welterweight bout. It's not talking about a certain pound like 144 because they do not recognize 144 as a weight. It's recognized anywhere between over 140-147. The link I just showed you tells you what they classify as weight! The NSAC can't penalize someone for something that is not in their rulebook i.e. a 144 weight limit? Are you dense? Typing it bigger isn't going to help your case.

confirmed by Kieth Kizer... 144 was the agreed upon weight.
if floyd didn't get JMM to initialize the change to 147 lbs, then the NSAC would've / could've penalized floyd...which is what the argument was about in the first place.
game set and match.Comment
