Why did Floyd need an IV to rehydrate if he barely cuts any weight?

[RussB23]

Please be civilized in this thread. I am just asking this question, floyd is one of my favorite fighters of all time and i wouldnt want him to be found out as a PED user.

I just have a question, why did floyd need 750 Ml of saline if he made the weight easily? he was 146 at the weigh in proving he cut an extra pound below the weight, and 149 on fight night. Why did he even need an IV?

Wouldnt he put on a good amount of weight if he was so drained that he need an IV? or am i missing something?

Here is the article i read all this in. https://thedailybanter.com/2015/09/t...g-explanation/

"If Mayweather was so dehydrated that he needed an IV, one would logically expect his weight to rise significantly after receiving fluids via an IV. Mayweather reportedly received 750 milliliters of fluid via IV. According to Dr. Flip Homansky, the former Nevada State Athletic Commission’s chief physician, 2 liters of fluid delivered via IV results in 6lbs of bodyweight "immediately." 750 milliliters would have added 2.25lbs to Mayweather's weight, putting him at the very least at 148.25lbs after the IV (and no doubt more given Mayweather would have consumed a significant amount of fluids immediately after the weigh in).

In a video interview posted by Fight Hype on May 5th 2015, 3 days after the fight with Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather revealed that he weighed 149lbs on the night of the fight.

"Going into the fight he [Manny Pacquiao] weighed 152, I weighed 149," said Mayweather. "The Las Vegas...Nevada Commission checked my weight. I was 149, and I ate a lot."


This does not make any sense at all. If Mayweather had any troubles making weight, it would have been evident in the amount of weight he put on in between the weigh in and the night of the actual fight. Given fighters Mayweather's size have been known to put on up to 20 lbs after weigh-ins, one would expect a significant amount of difference on the night of the fight. Mayweather put on 3lbs, and that was after eating "a lot."

There is no way of knowing why Mayweather used an IV though, primarily because Mayweather has a history of not answering questions he doesn't like, and the USADA has shown itself to be totally unprofessional and potentially corrupt. Can we take the USADA's statement about Mayweather's IV use as the truth? The Daily Banter contacted Thomas Hauser, and he provided us with the following statement (in the interest of full disclosure, this writer has worked professionaly with Hauser several years ago for the boxing site Secondsout.com):

If Floyd Mayweather was dehydrated after the May 1 weigh-in, the USADA doping control officer could have given him several glasses of water. USADA has yet to explain the medical justification and supporting data that led it to grant a retroactive the****utic use exemption nineteen days after the fact for a procedure that's on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s "Prohibited Substances and Methods List".
The Daily Banter also spoke with Sean Kneebone, a former Olympic track and field sprint coach with a great deal of experience preparing elite athletes for peak performance and navigating drug testing protocol.

"I find it hard to believe that Floyd Mayweather's team would have allowed this to happen, particularly given the magnitude of the fight and who he was facing," said Kneebone. "You don't go into a fight with Manny Pacquaio and mess up something as basic as cutting weight. As far as we know, Mayweather has never had problems making the 147lb limit, so at the very least, this is a red flag that warrants further investigation."

He walks at 150 no more than 152 so wouldn't it be safe then sorry? Besides he took the test before the IV and after.
