老新闻:梅威瑟欠马奎兹60万美元-
里面的内容提到:在梅威瑟与马奎兹比赛的时候,梅威瑟的星期五下午的体重是146磅。而从未打过135磅以上比赛的马奎兹,非常不幸地体重仅为142磅,而双方的合约体重为144磅,所以,马奎兹比合约体重轻了2磅,而梅威瑟重了2磅,按合同约定,超过合约体重1磅罚款30万美元,则梅威瑟应罚款60万美元。
称重后,金童推广舍费尔说,合同签订的是在次中量级,允许超过144磅的体重。同时,尽管ESPN及运动委员会主席凯泽均证实双方签订的是144磅合同,但马奎兹星期三提交给内华达州运动委员会的合同被金童推广撤销并更改为147磅。而梅威瑟的合同,尽管要求星期三提交,但其仅在星期五称重时提交给运动委员会,凯泽对此非常不满意,他说,梅应当在支付马奎兹罚金的同时,支付委员会10%的罚金约100万美元,如果他超过147磅体重,应支付委员会20%的罚金。
此外,合同也实施了禁口令,不允许对外透露有关内容。
从本新闻可以看出,金童推广是不光彩的,他可以随意更改合同,同时,由于禁口令的存在,导致马奎兹方面事先不能对外透露合同内容,使马方进入被动。梅也是不光彩的,以大打小不说,体重还比合同约定重了2磅,为了不被处罚,竟然还私自更改合同。
LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. weighed in at 146 pounds on Friday afternoon, two pounds heavier than the weight stipulated in the contract for his comeback fight against lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The excess weight will cost Mayweather $300,000 per pound, meaning Marquez will get an additional $600,000 on top of his $3.2 million guarantee, a source told ESPN.com. Mayweather's minimum guarantee is $10 million, a figure likely to dramatically increase after the pay-per-view receipts are counted.
Marquez, who has never fought heavier than 135 pounds, comfortably made 142 pounds, two less than the 144-pound contract weight.
At Mayweather's request, nobody would speak publicly about the contract weight throughout the promotion that kicked off in early May and continued into the fall when the fight was postponed from July 18 because of a Mayweather rib injury.
However, several sources with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com all along that the contract maximum weight was 144 pounds, three less than the 147-pound welterweight maximum.
But after Friday's weigh-in, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer finally addressed the issue, telling ESPN.com, "The fight was contracted as a welterweight fight with an agreed upon weight of 144 pounds. However, there were pre-negotiated weight penalties built in."
Schaefer would not disclose the dollar figure, but another source with direct knowledge of the contract told ESPN.com that the penalty was $300,000 per pound if either fighter was overweight.
According to the source, the Marquez camp knew Wednesday night that Mayweather would not make weight because Mayweather's team made overtures to Golden Boy Promotions in an effort to have Marquez agree to change weight on the bout agreements to be filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
However, Marquez's contract had already been filed reading 144 pounds, according to commission executive director Keith Kizer. But Kizer said the bout agreement was retrieved from the commission by Golden Boy Promotions and changed to 147 with Marquez initialing it.
Mayweather's contract with 147 pounds was not filed with the commission until minutes before the weigh-in. Kizer said it was supposed to be filed on Wednesday.
Kizer said the Mayweather camp asked to file it Thursday and he said OK, but that deadline also came and went.
"We were very unhappy with the lateness of Mr. Mayweather's contract," Kizer said.
Kizer said that had the bout agreements not been changed to 147, Mayweather would have faced a fine from the commission in addition to whatever penalty he had agreed to pay Marquez. For being two pounds overweight, Kizer said the penalty would have been 10 percent of his purse, or $1 million. Had he been three pounds over (147 pounds), the figure would have jumped to a 20 percent fine.未 |
