Two Articles that have past issues coming back (Mayweather is broke and Mayweather vs Marquez might be at 147)
Floyd Mayweather Jr Investigation Reveals Huge Debts
By Mark Vester
When
Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced that he was returning to the sport, he
swore the comeback had nothing to do with money. There were numerous
reports that Mayweather was in heavy debt. Reports that he owed
millions to the IRS, among others. Mayweather and his best friend/CEO
of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, denied these claims.
The
Associated Press started their own investigation and dug up a lot of
outstanding debt. The AP believes that Mayweather is returning for his
Sept. 19 bout with Juan Manuel Marquez to get a big payday in order to
satisfy his debts.
The AP found that Mayweather owes
1. $6.17
million to the IRS. The placed a lien on Mayweather in the Clark
Country Recorder in Las Vegas and the bill stems from unpaid taxes in
2007.
2. According to a New Jersey Superior Court judgment, also from 2007, he owes that state $193,000 in taxes.
3. Unresolved debts worth $9,400 to three homeowners associations.
4. $3,900 to a contractor who programmed electronics at one of his homes.
5. Even $320.10 to his trash collector.
Ellerbe, despite the lien and the hard documents, denies that Mayweather owes any type of money to the IRS or any other party.
"Floyd
Mayweather does not have a problem with the IRS," Ellerbe told the AP.
"He doesn't owe the IRS $6.1 million ... I don't (care) what a lien
says. When you have a problem with them, you ain't hard to find — ask
Wesley Snipes. You go to jail, they come take your (stuff). He doesn't
have a problem."
"(Mayweather) is free to move and do anything and everything he wants to do with no problems at all. None whatsoever."

Mayweather vs Marquez Bumped Up To 147-Pounds?
By Mark Vester
The
rumors are out there again. A few weeks ago, there were rumors that
Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Juan Manuel Marquez, scheduled to take place at
the catch-weight of 143/144-pounds [depending on who you ask], was
going to get bumped to the full welterweight limit of 147. The weight
changed was disputed by those who are close to the fight. Then the
fight got pushed back due to an injury to Mayweather's rib and the new
date of September 19 has been locked down.
This
time the weight change talk is coming from Nacho Beristain, the manager
and trainer of Marquez. He says people are saying the weight got bumped
to 147 and that would put them at a bigger disadvantage if it proves to
be true.
"They
are saying that they changed it to 147 pounds. Juan is eager to fight
Mayweather and does not care about that, but if the fight is allowed
to take place at that weight, Floyd could rise to 160-pounds by the
time he enters the ring, or more. The chances of that taking place if
he weiged 143 are far less because he would have to work a lot harder
to make the weight. I need to speak to Juan about this," Beristain told
The Record.
thats a bunch of crap because if he needs the money now then he would have needed it last year when he canceled on the DLH fight..and that would have been an easier fight fro 3 times more money..and the rumors starter early this year that he was broke so he would have had to lose all that money and get in debt in like 8 months
maybe hes not in debt, maybe hes just like me and spends all his money on whatever comes his way... hehe. who knows, i like that part form marquez team, they basically say, f it, who cares about the weight.

Yeah they are crazy though if they think they have a chance at 147....one thing for sure though....it makes Pacman look like a little girl...Marquez is willing to go to 147 to fight who used to be the top lb4lb but Pacquiao cant go to 147 to fight Cotto.
It will be an amazing upset if Marquez just KO's or outboxes the crap out of Mayweather at 147.
I can see this fight being like Roy jones vs Calzaghe. Roy looked very confident at first and was making his funny moves and all this crap and then his face changed from confident to "I dont know were to hide". I think that was mainy because Cal just surprised the crap out of him well I think Marquez has what it takes to just surprise the crap out of Mayweather even at 147.
