Serious Question: Why did Pac ask Floyd to pay a 10 Million per pound weight penalty?

[Big Vern]

They're entirely two different things. As a professional or amateur boxer you're obligated from day 1 to make the contracted weight, the penalty should be irrelevant.

And I think you need one of these:

At the same time, as a professional or amateur boxer, you're obligated not to juice. At the end of the day, both parties asked for something that's out of the norm; one agreed, one disagreed.

This same **** has been discussed incessantly for the best part of two years. Who cares anymore, man? It's swings and roundabouts.

You're obligated not to use drugs either, what's your point?

Of course, that's a given, there's always a possibility...likewise going from POSSIBILITY and outright allegations are two different things. Thus the drug testing is a moot point.

Are you serious?

But "possibilities" are not grounds for anything. We can say that to anyone because it is so VAGUE.

Why do you think they instituted drug testing in the first place?

With the 10 Million / Pound clause - at least there's a PRECEDENT on Mayweather's weight issue against JMM though it is a lame clause being imposed but still at least, there's a PRECEDENT...

No, its not. Floyd has always weighed 147 or under for his fights at 147. Heck, he even weighed 146 against JMM, still under the weight he and Manny were going to fight at.

I know, what's your point? That Manny is on drugs, yes?

[V.WEBB]

Precedent is irrelevant. There was no precedent when Manny forced Oscar to agree to that.

Neither was there one when he made Cotto or Morales agree to.

You got absolutely schooled in this thread (among others) ^^^ and didn't have the decency to say when you were wrong, so again, GTFO.

Normal people who arent blinded and can see through. And schooled by who? Deevel? Yeah lol

PRECEDENTS are super-relevant. That's the basis for having PROBABLE CAUSE and can see these happening in all levels of sports, politics and the law.

PRECEDENTS have a weight and bearing on the determination of whether PROBABLE CAUSE can be utilized. Therefore an allegation of Pacquiao being a drug user without due proofs AND PRECEDENTS of him violating any drug usage can be of relevance.

Mayweather's accusations or allegations just came out of the blue...while his background (precedence come into play again) with run-ins with the law, his family and then some also comes into the play when it comes to CREDIBILITY.

But back to the main topic of the 10 million per pound clause...there are PRECEDENTS of Mayweather skirting around the issue of weight with his "fight" against JMM...thus the clause.

I know, but you get ****** in, like you entering and responding to this thread. And when I am here its usually through boredom.

Ok, Che, I expect to an uprising soon..

My point is that you had none. But we already knew that.
