10 mil/plty = Floyd did not abide by the contract and came in overweight vs. marquez. Do you see Floyd cheating the scales? If not, there should be no issues

Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postmanny asked for a certain ring size, certain gloves(punchers gloves) and a ten million PER pound penalty for every round over wt. and floyd agreed to ALL those demands. and in truth team pac agreed to the ost and then back off. so my point to you was in any negotiation you have to give and take. but team pac only wanted to take and take. all this let the NSAC do its job is crap. the NSAC is responsible for penalizing fighters for being over wt. but no one is calling pac out for that why? if floyd is the bad guy for adking for ost, why is pac not the bad guy for asking for the outrageous amt of 10 mil per pound over wt?
but Manny "demanding" punchers gloves is ****in hilarious, considering he's "demanding" the same gloves he's always worn his entire career. Was he out of line in asking for the same gloves he's always worn....And, floyd always wears 8oz gloves. I dont see the problem
Also, was floyd also planning in coming in overweight?

Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postfloyd fought oscar at 154 and beat him. at 154 oscar would have beat pac IMO.
Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postlike freddie roach is no dummy, as part of the deal, oscar had to wt 147 on fight night. this prevented him from re-hydrating and left him weak and very tired.
Floyd made Marquez go up 2 divisions and still came over contracted weight.
Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postroach said if they fought shane they wanted the fight at 140. shane said ok!!!!! and roach said, not going to happemn. your just too good for my guy. i've said several times pac ducked lots of fighters and yet he has a take on all fighters tag per the boxing media. why is that ?
Manny came up 7 divisions to fight bigger fighters and you say he's ducking certain fighters.. but it's your opinion though. Agree to disagree.

Originally posted by T.I. View PostWhat demands are you talking about?
Funny how after Mayweather beat Mosley, Arum flies down to the Phillippines to show manny some political support. A reporter asked him if he can talk about a potential mega fight between Pacquaio-Mayweather, his response was, "Im not going to get into negotiations with the media about the fight because he felt that that's exactly what ruined the fight the 1st time around. Now here is Mayweather's team taking the high road keeping quiet, and all i hear now is team pacquiao talking ****. 1st Arum himself came out a week later trying to discredit the testing procedure by stating that Mayweather/Mosley's last blood test was 18days prior. I heard he had a problem with Manny's friend's talking about the fight and he's doing the exact same ****, it's almost like their saying " You see fans, we've been saying we want to fight Mayweather since he beat Mosley. and because he's taking so long to give us a decision we're gonna have to fight Margarito just to keep Manny active.

Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postring size and gloves have to be chosen by the fighters before the fight.
Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postin the first fight with morales, pac said he lost because the gloves were like pillows. so all these items have to be agreed upon.
Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postfloyd could have asked for a bigger ring or diff. gloves. the point is manny asked for certain things and his demands were met.
Originally posted by mrjoeblive View Postand asking for ten mil. per pound over wt is still crazy. but all his demands were met. so do you still think floyd was weak for agreeing to all that manny asked for?
