Why does HBO refuse to weigh Floyd on fight night?

[BattlingNelson]

Who cares, he makes weight, that's all that matters.

Why are people so concerned with fight night weights? Does it lessen the accomplishment if he was 160?

Yeah. You never think weight makes a difference.

Look at this lol-post:

This fight is not a circus act. Floyd is a small welterweight and not much bigger than JMM.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Doesnt ater how uch he weighs. He doesnt win fights on strneght and physicality. Hes a pure boxer. Its obvious he looked small.

theres no way he even close to 165, my guess would be at the max mid 150s, shanes upper body was bigger, he just couldnt use it.

I wish he would weigh in too, just out of curiosity but I am going to guess he comes in at like 156-158.

165 is a stretch, but floyd had to have been around 160 lbs. he was as big as mosley and a lot stronger.

HBO does not refuse,the fighters do.

HBO always wants to reweigh them.

I think that sounds reasonable.

its obvious he is lying, the man couldnt make 144 vs marquez, he just couldnt make it. we know he couldnt make it as he loves his money, why he pay 600k instead of making weight?

he fought oscar 2 years ago. that was his first fight north of 147. i think in 2 years time, a guy can fill out a weight. they weighed oscar and floyd fight night, floyd couldn't even reach the 154 limit.

The guy weighs around 155 during fight night in my opinion, not 147 as he claims.

somewhere around there. it's not necessarily a good thing to rehydrate 10+ lbs on fight night.

Mayweather looked stronger. And he has seemed to fill out at the weight. But I'm watching it right now, Shane looks bigger than him.

shane also looked bigger at the weigh-in. may looked more comfortable, and he was more cut, and that gives ppl hte "illusion" he was bigger than shane. shane was definitely bigger than floyd was.

I disagree with this. I don't think he gets up to 160. I really don't, but he looks to be filled out at the weight. No way he outweighed Shane.

floyd doesn't rehydrate 15 lbs. between the weigh-in and the fight. he weighed 146 friday, no way in hell he came in anywhere near 160.

lol at some of these dudes.

he was weighed on fight night against Zab, and came into the ring only 2 pounds over his weigh-in weight.

that's what he's been known to do. he never rehydrates that much....

[Duckweather]

mayweather bigger than mosley? some of you guys are out of your mind now.

[-EX-]

I cudda sworn someone posted that Floyd only went up a pound overnight...

Anyone know Shane's weight fight night?

And Shane is still naturally a bigger man IMO
