Serious Question: All Floyd Wants Is An Even Playing Field Right?

[pistol whip]

You mean like Manny putting a 1 Million per pound penalty on Cotto and a 10 Million dollar penalty on Floyd?

Notice how he also didn't act like a ***ing child when he asked for those stipulations either.

Plus comparing OSDT to weight limits is comparing apples to oranges. Floyd had a history of ignoring the weight limits in the past so Pac's camp was justified in a penalty but seriously what does that have to do with the OSDT issue?

And? Thats one fight out of the thousands and thousands of other fights that have happened since then that have gone on just fine without OSDT.

I've said this before and I'll say it again it seems to me that Floyd getting his way is more important to you than the fight actually happening.

It has nothing to do with Floyd getting his way with me, dude. But if you agree to something, then be a man and stick to your agreement. Period. But don't lie and contradict yourself and try to blame the other fighter.

One time equals history?

Did Morales have a history of coming in overweight? I mean, Pac had weight stipulations on him when they fought. Did Miguel have a history of coming in overweight? Manny had a million dollar one on him. THE COMMISSION gives out the penalties for that, Manny isn't the COMMISSION, so why did he go over them on the weight issue? Why doesn't he let the COMMISSION do THEIR job?

All that mater is that Manny is Fighter Of The Decade and Floyd is hella jealous of it, he doesn't understand why they gave it to manny LOL.

here is an example of the thread going the wrong way!!!

Freddie roach had a history of training fighters who have tested positive for ped's so Floyd's camp is justified in their ost demand.

Kind of hillarious coming from a Floyd fan. Floyd is the KING of lying and contridicting himself.

Who agreed to what? As far as i know there was no contract signed by anyone so legally nobody agreed to anything.

And? I'm not afraid to call Floyd out on his contradicting. I've done it a number of times and I know that he does it.

What Floyd did wasnt Illegal from a competitive/ safe/ and health Point of view. He broke a verbal agreement. in which he decided too pay Marquez 600k for.

IF IT WAS CONTRACTUAL, he would have lost 20% of his purse to the NSAC


Marquez Called Mayweather out.
Marquez wanted this fight.
Marquez ask for this fight while knowing Mayweather fights at WW. meaning 141-147 pounds.
Nobody made Maquez speak Mayweathers name after the diaz fight.
He decideD the best choice for his career would be to fight Mayweather.
and it was.
Add into the fact he had no leverage in neogations.

What do you expect?

The even Playing Field Marquez had, was Floyd was coming off a 2 year lay off, and even worse he was coming off a 2 year lay off fighting one of the greatest fighters on this generation.

Floyd did not have the timing advantages going into that fight, because he was off for 2 years.

Floyd didnt have his muscle memory advantage because was off for 2 years.
the list goes on.

The biggest Advantage Marquez had was being active while Floyd wasnt.

Floyd violated a agreement. it is not comparable to using PED's and steroids.
If you want to compare a contract to Steroid abuse, you are grasping at straws.

How about we compare lying to your spouse, to trying to kill your spouse.
That would be the Equivalent of your argument of comparing violating a agreement, vs. using steroids and PED's.

gtfoh w/ that excuse of jmm called him out. a lot of ww called him out before he even retired. and **** that this fight is a tuneup for him. he'd constantly brag he'd beat all these wws EASY so why not have a tuneup w/ them?

What was so even about fighting Juan Manuel Marquez?

Facts:

Marquez never had a fight above 135 LBS (list all the fight night weights you want, but the fact remains

Floyd refused to come into the weight they originally agreed on

Floyd originally wanted to fight Marquez @ 147 LBS

Floyd keeps talking about how boxing should be an even playing field, but his choices don't reflect that. Sure, you can say that it was Marquez's fault for signing the contract. But then, wouldn't it also be Cotto's fault for agreeing to fight Pacquiao? But thats besides the point, thats not what this thread is about.

How was Marquez/Mayweather fougth on an "even playing field"?

You're taking a catch phrase way too literally. He was also obviously referring to PEDs.
