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

Do you apply it to other fighters or just Floyd ?

Read the thread title - it is about Floyd/Canelo. Wait and see when an appropriate thread comes up regarding other Boxers.

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.

Cotto could have too, but that didn't stop you from crying about it for three years.

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".

I'm fine with the catchweight. I'm just hurling the **** back at you lames to show how ridiculous you clowns sounded just a few years ago.

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.

It looks like the guy didn't even bother to read the thread title before responding!

All of you clowns who keep harping on the catchweight fail to mention the fact that Alvarez could have said.....

Read the article before responding!! It was about clearing up misconceptions put out by Ellerbe.

floyd: sshhhhhhhhhh keep quiet canelo. by the way lets fight at 147 and don't tell anybody.

canelo: No

floyd: ok lets do it at 150, shhhhhhh don't tell anybody ok

canelo: No

floyd: ok, ok, let's do it then at 151, sshhhhhh let's keep it a secret.

canelo: No but let's do it @ 152 i'll be weight drained but **** it

floyd: ok 152 but in the condition that you're the one asking for the catchweight.

canelo: whatever, i just wanna fight you.

ellerbe: it was canelo and his team that asked floyd for the catchweight!

lol this is what really transpired in a nutshell hahaha

[Spoon23]

I think a lot of people don't understand Canelo isn't b*tching about the catch weight, he's just upset that Ellerbe and TMT are blaming Canelo and his team saying their ****** for suggesting the catch weight and I don't know about you guys but I don't believe **** that comes out Ellerbs mouth.

True. It's Canelo's right to react to false statements against him.

[BajanXLegend]

so what 147 is not a catch-weight its for floyds title?

[Spoon23]

Idiot!!! do you like to be called an idiot? are you going to stay quiet when you being insulted? take the Mayweather TMT shirt for a second and put yourself in Canelo's shoes, he stay quiet as part of the agreement, but this fat bastard comes out and called him an idiot and you want him to remaind quiet??? are you serious?? F***ing Blowmos are inposible to get along with.

By the way am rooting for Floyd to an UD 8-4 as a boxing fan not being afiliated any group but I appreciate skill, heart, KOs, etc not nececerly a one group of people like you blowmos, pac turd, caneloturds etc. I call them out on their wrong doing without reservation.....and yes althoug I think Floyd will beat Canelo even at 154 that doesn't mean he is not a hypocrite about catch weight, is that so hard to admit and move on?

hahaha true that. Got him burned lol
