    Why was there a million dollar penalty set for him though?

      Whats poppin dude! Coach webb made a good point. Manny did the same to morales and cotto and they never came in over weight. I get your point but can you give a reason why he imposed the weight clause on fighters who haven't come in heavy?

        Floyd doesnt have to do anything extra outside the rules, he just have to make weight, which is a commission rule, to satisfy pac's demands.

        The standard $10K weight penalty of the commission is chump change when you're earning 8digit figures.
        Its not Mannys demand that Floyd make weight, its the commish. The point is, Mannys not happy with the fine and Floyds not happy with the testing.

          according to oscar, the fight was ALWAYS a 147 fight, but since both guys accepted 144, floyd had to pay for every pound he was over 144.


          mayweather didn't show up at the weigh-in, and come in overweight, he let them know a couple days in advance.


          that "cheating" the scales ****, doesn't fly.

              instead, he drained himself, and got his ass beat.


              then he turned around and saw manny fight clottey, who's a bigger guy, at 147, not 145......4 months later.

                cotto had a 2mill per pound weight penalty which was not under commission rules and he had never come in overweight please explain that do not duck this question.

                  They can't bro. They realize that Manny is lying by saying that "he only does what the commission says."

                    What you said TOTALLY CONTRADICTS what Manny and his fans love to spew out..."Manny only does what the commission says do." The Commission handles the weight penalties. But Manny loves to go above the commission to suit HIMSELF...go figure.

                      that dont really have anything to do with these negotiations. This is 2 different fighters and difference circumstances. I could argue why floyd asks for tests when he has never asked for them pryor to this fight. you understand we can go back and forth with this.

                      These are new negotiations. in this negotiations pac has the right because floyd has cheated before and pac has never been tested for drugs so he doesn't have to abide to floyds demands.
