I think you are quite right. Mayweather stopped allowing a fight-time weigh-in years ago, and likes to perpetuate the myth that he walks around under 150. All part of his Superman schtik. The last time I can recall seeing his un-offical weight I believe it was 158, but can't remember against whom. There was quite a discussion amongst the commentators when they began to notice this, which is why I began to notice it.
I recall that for his fight before last (?), there was an incautious release from his camp which said that he was now down to 156, after only a month in camp.
My own opinion is that nothing Mayweather says can be regarded as truth, his PR people keep churning out a screen of myth and bombast to bamboozle the public. Just consider his "world record guarantee" of $32 mill for the Cotto fight, which he actually guaranteed to himself. In other words moving it from one pocket to the other. It was all PR crap so that he could say he surpassed Mike Tyson's legitimate record of $31 mill. Of course for him to be able to do all this, he needs idiot fans to lap it up. He has those.
And the SHOWTIME agreement for $250 mill and 6 fights in 30 months... Some writers on this site dug into this and found that he had a contract for only ONE fight, and that SHOWTIME has options for 5 more (likely one at a time). They could close it down at any time it seems. Nobody really knows what the contract terms are, or even if he got $32 mill for the first fight. it could have been $20 mill with Mayweather supplying the other $12 mill...Who knows......? Boxing business is a deep, murky pit.
Mayweather has never weighed 158 unofficially, ever. In his entire career.
The heaviest he was ever weighed unofficially is 150 lbs and that was against Ortiz in 2011. Which was also the last time he was weighed unofficially.Comment

lol @ people saying floyd is a big WW. He doesn't even look 160lbs when he's walking around chilling.
Where is all that weight people are seeing?
We've seen him weigh in lower than 154 for every fight officially and unofficially.
So where is the proof that he is at 155 plus pounds? Since you're making the claim show me the video of Floyd weighing in heavy.Comment

The Mayweather-Marquez fight weight's have never and will never be revealed.
They weren't weighed unofficially.Comment

Floyd looked the same silly man. When Floyd is at his biggest, he looks how he looked against Cotto, and Ortiz, and JMM. Same size each fight. He looked kind of skinny against Mosley and Ghost. But if you were right, then why didnt Floyd just weigh in at 154, instead of 152? Since he's a natural 147lber, he weighs in at 152, then accidentally comes in the ring at 147 or 148. 2lbs from how much he weighed against Ortiz.
He looked markedly bigger in the DLHYA and Cotto fights.Comment
