    When it came to Mayweather, "being the draw doesn't matter". Now, all of a sudden, it does matter?

    Pathetic.
    Floyd Brought Hatton up 7 pounds to 147 and JMM up 12 pounds to 147

    He has done this twice in 3 fights since becoming a huge draw.

    Floyd is no different

      So its ok now that Pac does it because floyd did it? So if they were to start negotiations and started demanding again wou would be ok with his demands?

        Please.

        Just as there are idiot Floyd fans, there are also idiot Pac fans. That doesn't mean ALL floyd/pac fans are idiots.

        I myself prefer Pac to face Marquez at 140, Martinez at 154 and finally Floyd at 147, and i WILL NOT pay to watch a Pac/Mosley fight.
        I wasn't referring to every single Pac fan. I am a Pac fan myself (although I have lost a lot of respect for him, and continue to do so with every shot fight he takes) so I am speaking about the "*******" but I don't like using that terminology as I think it sounds ******.

        If you are not one of the people that do what I described, then you are not one of those particular Pac fans.

        Get it?

          How did you come to that conclusion from my posts?

          All i said is that when you are a huge draw, you make the terms and fighters fight at your weight

            Got it.

            I myself have been sorely disappointed by some of Pac's decisions, and i certainly HOPE he won't take the Mosley fight, nor agree to any more catchweights.

                No no, get your facts straight kid.

                Hatton had fought at 140 his entire career.

                Floyd had fought at 147 for long time, and before Hatton fought at jr middle 154.

                What did you expect, Floyd to drop from 154 to 140 for Ricky Hatton?

                Hatton wanted Floyd, he got a career highest purse and a shot at legitimate greatness, and I think 147 was the only weight that fight could take place.

                Don't forget that Floyd has ALWAYS come up and fought bigger guys, and that is a fact that can't be debated, everybody knows this and a simple fact check will show this.

                Look at the Oscar that Floyd took on. That Oscar would have KO'd Manny.

                    Then why did you bother posting or even making a thread if you think facts aren't any good here?
