Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Broner-Vargas Shouldn't Be Fought at Catch-Weight

[boxing90]

Floyd said he fought Cotto at 154 because he wanted him to be comfortable. Yet he didn’t want Canelo comfortable. Pot. Kettle. Black.

If you go back and do your Homework Team Canelo came to the Mayweather camp with the catch weight of 152 pounds, it was also on all access...

Says the guy who fought Canelo at a catchweight after he fought Cotto and De La Hoya at 54'...

You'd think that a boxing fan would know that Canelo and GBP approached Mayweather with the 152 catchweight. Let's not let facts get in the way of Mayweather bashing though.

I guess fighting at a catchweight disqualifies you from having an opinion on weather any other fight should be at a catchweight. I never knew!!!!!

So Floyd vs Canelo should have been at 154 then.

I mean .. Floyd fought Cotto at 154, didn't he?

So why couldn't he do the same with Canelo?

Yeah .. as an alternative to 150!

Stop spinning, you'll make yourselves sick.

Mayweather took advantage of Canelo and his team wanting the fight so bad, that they offered a catch-weight.
And then Canelo and his team cried about it later....they never should have offered it then.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said it was simply the "A-side" fighter getting the upside over the "B-side" fighter. Mayweather usually fights at 147 pounds "We just took advantage of a situation. It's no different from basketball, football or baseball," he said. "You're always going to put your opposition at a disadvantage, if you can. You break 'em down and you go in for the kill.

"The kid suggested a while ago that he would be willing to come down to fight Floyd at 150. So if he put it out there ... this is business at the end of the day, and we're going to hold his feet to the fire, and his manager the same way."

Ellerbe said Mayweather was in the same situation in 2007 when he fought Oscar De La Hoya.

"(Alvarez) is making the most money he ever made. But at the end of the day, he who is on the A side is the one that controls. That's what being the A side is, about having leverage.

"Floyd has earned the right to do that."

Floyd is my boy but wtf he doing commenting on AB weight problems when he's facing a law suit and possibly jail time 🤣 Come on Floyd give AB a break he's already on the edge of career being derailed he don't need you making his bad situation worse.

[AdonisCreed]

I ain't gonna lie its gonna be sad when AB takes this L. But oh well at least once his boxing career over he can talk to Al Haymon about getting his music career off the ground since Haymon knows music. Maybe AB can get a gig being a rapper during the entry walk for Wilder when he faces Anthony Joshua!!
