Pac's demand for a 150 catch weight= Floyd's demand for OST

[The_Demon]

A fail of epic proportions

they both think they are above boxing, and can dictate whatever they want to gain an advantage over their opponents. What's worse is that the promoters, fans, and people involved in boxing support this ****. Both of them are trying to cheat history. It's a disgrace to the legends in the past and the fighters who have earned their rights to be called ATGs.

Floyd is cheating history by demanding OST to duck Pacquiao. He doesn't want to risk his 0 to the relentless Pacquiao so he made bull**** stipulations to prevent the fight. And when Pacquiao finally agreed he said he wasnt thinking about boxing.

Now Pac is trying to cheat history by trying to win a bull**** title in his 8th weight division. What's worse is that hes fighting a fighter who is a proven cheater and previously KTFO by Mosley. And why is this fight at a catch weight?

chea...

I disagree with a lot of what you said, but that is beside the point. What I wanted to say is that Floyd has received 50 times the criticism and hater from people (boxing writers and fans) aobut his OST request than Pac has about the ridiculous catchweight demands. Demanding that someone come down in weight so that you can fight them for their title is ridiculous. However, there was very little written about that and virtually nothing has been said by writers about this ridiculous catchweight fight for the 154-pound title. The double standard is so obvious, it is ridiculous.

margarito is a big dude , putting the extra effort into losing the weight against a guy who doesn't have that problem is a disadvantage , i'm a pac fan but i'm not going to defend that , plus the whole notion of it being for a record 8th world title when your opponent isn't even allowed to go up to the full stipulated weight at the weigh in is bogus ,

Explain to me why? Especially when your opponent spent most of his career 3pounds south of 150 and will have a full day to gain a 15 pound weight advantage come fight night?

friggin Margarito has spent most of career @ 147. How is 150 going to affect him? Cotto usually fought @ 146 at welter. How did 1 lb really affect him? OST demands of Floyd is really more than what Manny asks of his opponents plus they get big money fighting the man.

Wrong. Mayweather wanted Pac psychologically weak in the fight coz he knows Pac is superstitious about his blood.

Catchweight is ensuring that the fight will be fair. Margarito is so much bigger than Pac. It is disadvantageous to both fighters. Going up fighting a bigger man is just as bad as jumping down in weight. Bernard KO Hoya.
