Comments Thread For: R. Mayweather: For Right Money, I'd Tell Floyd To Hit 175

[brick wall]

they forgot to put roger on a leash again.

they need not worry...now that floyd's back fighting at 154, martinez will be stalking him for a fight and it doesn't need to be at 160.

[Oh you out son]

Pac havin a promoter has nothin to do with the split % - all it means is that floyd will se more $ from his 50%; Part of Pac's 50% wud go to arum.
It really amazes me how some people on here talk like they actually have a clue how the business side of this sport is run, wen they have no idea.
Its almost laughable that floyd fans use Arum as a reason y Pac shudnt get 50% - that has nothin to do wit nothn - and is comparin apples and oranges

^ ^^this. I always laugh when I see people make that argument too. All Bob Arum does it get 30% of Pac's revenue. So if mayweather and pacquiao split 50-50, and they each get 60 million. Arum would get almost 20 mil from pac and floyd would get to keep his (but he would still be giving a cut to GBP, believe me)

Roger forgot to get his medication refills from Walgreens.

The fact that this is even on the radar for them should be a treat for Boxing fans. If Mayweather truly goes for it then how can anyone question his quest for legacy? People seem to forget what he has already achieved and hold him up to a different standard.

I personally would love to see him fight Sergio at 160 imagine the hype...his haters would tune in because they would think he has a huge chance of losing. 175 would just be outrageous...dunno how that could happen he likely would never even weigh 160 lol

He weighed in fight time in his very last fight, actually.

And he was 150, an astronomical 3 Lbs heavier than 147.

Please provide a link that 'reported' that that Mayweather was 20 Lbs Heavier than Marquez on fight night.

There is nothing to suggest he was 20 Lbs Heavier than Marquez.

He has never come to the ring heavier than 150 Lbs in his entire career.

I've never concerned myself with "links". You are the computer expert, so look back over many hundreds of BoxingScene reports and find them. Why should I bother myself just because you ask for it. I'm not a child to scurry around trying to "prove" my comment. I made a post which mentioned that there were reports that Mayweather outweighed Marquez by 20 lbs at fight time. At least I'm quoting reality and not making up a lie like one of the crazies. I'm enlarging on this now in telling you that this was reported in a Boxingscene article quoting ringside observers and anallysts. I think it was mentioned on BoxingScene in more than one article. I heard it myself on TV and also saw it in articles by other writers. I don't keep a record of who they are, I don't care, I just read them. Could be Rold, Montoya Kim, Fischer, Donovan, Edwards, Scotto, Stewart, or any of 50 others. Could be quotes from the top trainers or observers.....who cares?

I'm also asking YOU, why do you think that Mayweather never allows himself to be weighed before the fight, the "unofficial weight" that every other boxer permits???? I'm not assuming anything, just asking your opinion but I don't care if he was 100 lbs more....

On re-reading your post it occurs to me that the reason he made this rare weigh-in was only because he knew he was a mere 3 lbs over, and wanted to show it off. Since it's Mayweather that's the most likely explanation. I also don't believe that anyone can truthfully say that he's never weighed more than 150. How would you know, he always refuses to be weighed. This weigh-in is so rare that I don't recall when it last happened. (My screening of the Ortiz fight didn't show it, I'm living in Panama and their TV timing is too close for any extras, although I get quite a bit of info from Col Bob Sheridan).

Frauds whole plan is to leave 147. its to dangerous for him there. He knows Manny wont fight past 147 so therefore hes not going to be at 147 to accommodate his weight choice. So Floyd run you chickin**** bum...run!

you dont think that hes goin to 154 against cotto just to show manny up? and even if he is movin to a higher weight on a more permanent basis, a fight with floyd and sergio is much more provocative than a fight with floyd and pac. not even you, my friend, can deny that...
