MAYWEATHER Did Not Want To Get On HBO's Scale...Why Not?

[Gino Ros]

I read reports that Floyd initially refused to get on the HBO scales.

We already knew that Floyd was 149 pounds 30 days out. He also said several times during training camp that he was already on weight.

Does anybody know why Floyd initially refused the HBO fight-night weigh-in?

Thanks.

I think he didn't want Ortiz to know. Just like Floyd doesn't like people to see him sparring I think he likes to keep the other fighter and there team guessning. Who knows? Maybe he was just giving them a hard time becasue he can? Maybe he's really getting tired of HBO? IMO it's just a mental thing to not allow anyone else to know his weight.

That makes no sense, though.

Hw was 149 30 days before the fight. He was 149 seven days before the fight. He weighed in at 146.5. And he was bragging that he was already on weight for weeks.

In fact, if you watch the pre-fight presser, he was teasing Ortiz about Ortiz having problems making weight.

Remember how PBF said repeatedly that he walks around at 147-150?

So, there was no mystery. At all.

This is it. It's really that simple. Same reason he routinely tells HBO's crew to wait on him when they start signaling him to walk to the ring. EVERYTHING is on his terms ALL the time. He's obnoxious but at the same time he's the fcuking man.

Floyd walks around at 156 according to his Uncle Jeff.

I believe he weighed in at 159 with all his clothing and shoes on for WWE.

It's Floyd. He was just being difficult for the sake of being difficult.
