Floyd Mayweather did not fail to make weight for the Marquez fight

[Counter Punch]

The coming over weight thing isn't even the main issue, Floyd, a former JMW champ, took on a LW Champion who had never fought above 135. Yeah, NOTHING wrong with that. Poor Cotto having to fight @ 145 instead of 147. Pacquiao cherry picker!!!!!112123890483r90jfrnvfgfvnfr'

Marquez's fault for agreeing to it.

[Left Banned Tua]

Incentive money for Marquez to agree to the fight. Much like Arum had to come out of his pocket to give Cotto an incentive to come to 145 and put his title on the line.

dude the contract was changed the week of the fight wasn't it?

at least cotto had months to prepare and he knew coming in what weight they were fighting at.

pacquiao didn't go , "hey , i can make 145 this week. here's $600,000 and you have to come in under 145 too."

[Counter Punch]

Bro. Cotto was fully aware of the agreed upon weight before the contract was even signed. 2 different situations. They didnt change it on him last minute like they did Marquez.

Now scram before u make an even bigger ass out of yourself.

Listen BRO, Marquez agreed to the weight.

Did Marquez agree? Yes. If he thought it was unfair he shouldn't have agreed to the new contract.

Didn't Cotto?

[Counter Punch]

cotto wasnt forced or bribed to "stick around." 145 was agreed to from the jump, unlike....

what's to stop mayweather from doing that again? you cant deny that was a bullsht tactic.

Really? Because if I remember right he said either 145 or 147 if Pacquiao wanted his title or Cotto would walk. A few days later, Cotto had a sudden change of heart?

Marquez's fault for agreeing to it.

so marquez should walk away from his biggest payday, after already been delayed, becuz floyd decided he didnt want to make the agreed upon weight?
that was a **** move. they boxed him in.

[Counter Punch]

Didn't Cotto?

Yes which is my whole point about the double standard in the OP.

Did Marquez agree? Yes. If he thought it was unfair he shouldn't have agreed to the new contract.

it's a little different agreeing to something before signing than changing the contract a week or so before the fight.

the guy signed the original contract months before.

the guy already spent 4-5 months promoting a fight.

the guy already spent 8-10 weeks in training camp.

then if he don't sign a new renegotiated contract , he doesn't get paid. not only that he has to go through another training camp and the same thing all over again after he finds another opponent.


that's not renegotiation. that's practically extortion.

Marquez is a big boy who can make his own decisions.
