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

Plus just because Canelo claims Floyd wanted to fight him at 147,that does`nt mean that its true.Theirs 2 sides to every story.

Only ONE fighter demanded that the fight be at 152 and you know damn well it was not Canelo. The fight is at 152 for ONE reason and you know it!

Maybe you are wrong richardt. Maybe someone else did suggest it.

You want to know the truth about how that negotiation went?

Mayweather wasn't going to fight Canelo at 154, he just wasn't. How do I know this? Because every champ takes every advantage he can get when he can get it.

DLH used to pick weight, glove size, ring size and venue. If you want the big payday, you agree to terms.

Canelo knew that and said he would come down in weight to fight Mayweather, so of course Mayweather agreed.

So it's not that Canelo's people were dumb and suggested 152 and Floyd just agreed, it was that they knew he wouldn't get the fight unless they agreed to a catch weight.

When you have the opportunity to fight Floyd Mayweather, you take it no matter the stipulations...well, almost any stipulations.

Wrong about what? Canelo is on record 2 weeks before the signing of the fight saying that he did not want to fight below 154. That came from only one possible thing, he knew Mayweather wanted the fight below 154. There isnt a person on the planet that thinks Canelo demanded or suggested the fight be at 152. Mayweather started with 147 and then 150 and Canelo agreed to 152. Those are the facts.
