Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mayweather Wanted 147, Tried To Keep Us Quiet

[Ido]

They still address it when they could easily brush it off and say "The Weight Don't Matter" I will be ready on Saturday

The Real answer should be "We BOTH AGREED TO THE CATCHWEIGHT" because that is what they did when they signed the contracts "AGREED"

Thats not the point. Canelo team did not bring up the weight issue, until after team Floyd disclosed their little comment to save face, pointing fingers, and tossing dirt to Canelo's management.

Thats a foul move to save face, no matter how you look at it.

They deserve all the criticism from the media, because they simply do not know when to keep their mouths shut.

All of you clowns who keep harping on the catchweight fail to mention the fact that Alvarez could have said no to the catchweight. He could have refused to fight unless Floyd fought him at 154.

According to some of you, Alvarez is the greatest thing since sliced bread and more popular than Mayweather. Therefore, he could headline a PPV on his own and attract 1 million PPVs against someone like Lara or Angulo just as Mayweather drew 1 million buys or more against nobodies like Robert Guerrerro and Victor Ortiz. Alvarez could fight a lesser opponent such as K-9 Bundrage or Ishe Smith and easily make $10 million like he is getting against Mayweather. After all, he is a huge star that 40,000 people will pay to see.


Except that none of this stuff is true. Alvarez may be popular among Mexicans and Boxing Scene posters, but he is not as popular as Mayweather, has never headlined a PPV, can't sell a PPV on his own and has never been paid as much as $3 million for a bout in his entire career. His proposed fight against Victor Ortiz was going to be on Showtime Championship Boxing, not PPV like Mayweather's. So, to sum it up, he had no choice but to accept the catchweight because just like everyone else between 140 and 154, he is on the outside looking in at Mayweather.

canelo's team did what they had to do in order to get the fight done.

what should have happened is that floyd who pretends to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, should have said no to the catch weight and INSISTED ON FIGHTING AT 154LBS were both are champs because IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT THING TO DO and based on floyd's past words and logic, he should have detested the catchweight idea.

Its not like Canelo would say no to floyd not wanting a catchweight.

Instead they proved everybody right by being massive hypocritical cvnts and insisting on a catchweight and trying play it off on canelo wanting it.

buncha dishonest repugnant scumbags.

It doesn't matter!!! Canelo agreed to it and that's that. It takes two to make a fight happen! The fact that they're stepping in the ring together should be enough for real boxing fans to be appreciative. Floyd could've ducked him forever if he wanted.

So you made another alt again just to say this but then you bashing Pac non stop before regarding about this catchweight. Funny all these floydiots can change their napkin easily when ther ***** is really getting wet.

Manny wanted 143 against Cotto in the beginning , who cares it doesn't matter a flying fck where a negotiation starts , its irrelevant gossip that is made into a soap opera where the haters are sounding like a bunch of schoolgirls .

Damn mayweather wanted him at 147? Lmao yea I can see him asking for that.

Just like he wanted Hatton and Marquez at welterweight. He either bloated you up or drained you down.

Now Pac catchweight fighs is suddenly acceptable. LMAO

Rewind to 2009, "Manny and Cotto at a catchweight? Nothing wrong with that."

2013, "Floyd drained Canelo, it's not fair, it's not fair, he made him come to the ring like a zombie".

Funny how you able to reverse the opposite. Just like your boy saying he will never do a catchweight. LMAO

He could have refused to fight unless Floyd fought him at 154.

Hey genius, Canelo and his team don't have a problem with he catch weight, they have a problem with Ellerbe making these absurd claims about Canelo asking for the catch weight.

[Ce1ska]

Poor Canelo, had to have someone put a gun to his head and force him to take this fight and drain him of all his strength. He'll be nothing but skin and bones and be knocked out in the first round. All because he was forced into this evil plot by Mayweather. Floyd is a criminal mastermind! Damn! Damn! Damn!

What are you talking about? This discussion isn't about the weight, no one who's a someone on Team Canelo has complained about the catch weight publicly or privately afaik. This is about Ellerbe claiming Canelo and Chepo asked for the catch weight.

LOL at him being drained.
