Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mayweather Demanded a Second Day Weigh-In

[bojangles1987]

Because I think it's the first time Floyd actually cared about the weight, obviously he feels that Canelo is too skilled to outweigh him that much. It's actually a compliment to Canelo.

If I was Floyd I would have just let Canelo come in at 154, he wasn't gonna get credit for the fight either way as you said, even if there was no CW.

Floyd can't complain though, he did it to himself, people love to see the ****y guy lose.

Not to mention Mayweather keeps lying his ass off about "size not mattering" when he's signed for a catchweight fight. And he wanted a rehydration as well? STFU and admit the size difference was a bit much.

Canelo is telling the truth and Ellerbe is lying. Canelo did offer to fight Mayweather at 152 pounds in 2011. Nobody but an idiot would assume that that had anything to do with negotiations for a 2013 fight. Canelo could make a lower weight in 2011. Team Mayweather has a proven record of lying and Canelo has never been shown to lie or contradict himself as Floyd so often does. Team Mayweather started off wanting this fight at 147 pounds as reported in boxing scene top headlines. Canelo had to bargain him up to 152. Floyd was never going to fight him at 154 so it was 152 or no fight. Of course Canelo wanted to fight at 154. The 152 catchweight is 100% team Mayweather's doing and if they had their way the weight would be 147 or 150.

Yea but Like Ellerbe said, it dont matter when he said that. A smart team will look up everything you ever said, when negotiating. If Martinez tries to get a fight with Floyd, I almost feel bad for him. All the comments he made about draining himself. Canelo really just has a ****** team.

I don't think people understand what negotiations mean and then blame it on floyd.

the MANAGMENT of the fighters negotiate contracts

i DO believe they mentioned a rehydration clause



If i go to to buy a car my first offer is always a low ball! why? because i wanted to see how much the dealer is willing to come down. Do i think he is going to take it? NO way, but that way we work to a middle ground that ultimately we both feel are fair. If not, then i walk

the same concept can be used with any fight. Money the cash cow, the undefeated champion, the A-side of the ppv. Why do you act like he has to appease the demands of canelo.

If 152 is the contract signed then it was signed with both mayweather/canelo's team agreeing it was a fair deal. In canelo's case he had more incentive to walk than ANY other fighter because 1. he's young 2. he is a rising star. 3. as long as he keeps winning that fight is there in the future

Mayweather is not going to be like "Oh you want me to come to 154? no problem" "You want the ring 6x6? Sure" "I can only use my left hand? Ok sure, after all i am the best"

that's not how it works

With that said all of this is just more hype for the fight. Soon we'll be able to see for ourselves how it all plays out

[HAVISJ]

seriously.this dude actually said that he weighs pretty much as a light heavy on fight night yet he can't fight middlewights like martinez

great point

[FeFist]

And Floyd's fans didn't care about what a guy weighs on fight night until he signed to fight Alvarez, because "skills pay bills." They hated catchweights until now as well.

Yeah, people are hypocrites. Floyd included.

Why are you speaking for every single Floyd fan when their opinions vary, as much as any other boxing fan, on an opponents fight night weight?

[Bigg Rigg]

Catch weight and rehydration clause??? Shame on you Floyd!!! Just giving ppl reasons to discredit your victory.

[The Tase]

DAMN


floyd requested a catchweight AND a rehydration clause?


'just another opponent' eh, floyd?

I would have gone with a rehydration clause as oppose to a catch weight, think it would have served better for both parties than this.

lmfaaoooo SMDH.


i remember when pacquiao was falsely accused of having rehydration clause.

Now floyd fans want rehydration clauses.


you people make me sick.

SHAMELESS AND DISGUSTING.

[MDPopescu]

Sergio, he said they would accept the 150 CW fight if Martinez weighed 150 on the day of the fight.

It's not sure even if Martinez would eventually enter the ring again.
... But 150? Is this a joke?

[mathed]

Don't know how true it is, because if you don't agree to Floyd's terms, the fight won't happen, hence the Pacquiao situation. But I honestly could give a damn about it, this whole weight thing From Floyd was weak from day 1, but it won't change the outcome. Floyd by UD or late stoppage.

It's because Showtime forced this fight on Floyd, he can't tell them no or Showtime will void his contract....they are writing his paycheck after all.

Take your pick, catchweight or rehydration. Don't try for both and then lie and say Alvarez wanted the catchweight, not you.

I agree with all of that, but my thing is what effect does this have on the fight night?? Is the rehydration clause in effect??

If not why is all of this being mentioned?? I always thought of Canelo as a MENTALLY sounded opponent not weak minded like a Ortiz or Judah, but it looks as if the opponent HIMSELF in Canelo is getting ready to make excuses in case he loses.

I'm actually less excited about this fight now, because it seems that one man has already admitted defeat.

actually looks like he's playing mind games with Floyd. canelos in his head.
