      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."

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.

            Try to think of your original statement. Ask yourself when you plan to prove it.

                  think kimosabe, think....

                  if there wasn't a penalty for the catchweight then why did floyd make overtures to marquez to change the weight from 144 to 147?

                  now... answer this question again:

                  true or false: if floyd didn't change the contract the commision would have penalized floyd

                    This isn't fact.

                      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.
