What an idiot. Millions of dollars on the table, and he's acting like a fucking ass.

That's what his toothless ass gets.

I'm starting the KEEP ROGER IN movement. Don't free his dumb ass. I'd be a fucking saint if I had that type of money coming.

^^why would it be rigged though? I mean why not just fight now, what's the point of mayweather fighting marquez and pacquiao fighting cotto? Mayweather is his own promoter, Marquez is with Golden Boy, Cotto is with Top Rank and Pacquiao is with Top Rank. I don't see how/why it could be rigged.

Besides, marquez wants to fight pacquiao again more than anything in the world, he wouldn't lose on purpose to pass that opportunity up, he knows he has to win to get another shot at Pac

If anything, Mayweather went with an "easier' option in Marquez because he's a smaller guy, but that doesn't mean it's rigged it just means Floyd is cherry picking, even though Marquez is pound 4 pound #2 fighter in the world.

Weird, almost everywhere I checked said that it was a 144lbs. limit.


I mean, its two pounds, and looked like Mayweather made the weight fairly easily, but still. Anyways, can't wait for the fights tomorrow!

My picks:

Mayweather by decision
John by decision
Escobedo by decision (I think he can upset if he can survive the early onslaught)
Cruz by decision

^ Most definitely, check this thread out tomorrow night. I'm ordering the fight but I'm sure someone will dig something up, if not I'll find something and post it up!

Floyd Mayweather 146 vs. Juan Manuel Marquez 142*
* Contractual weight was the 147 pound welter limit, but penalties were written into the contract for excess poundage over 144. ”The penalty [for Mayweather] was a significant amount of money,” said Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer.
