Manny Pacquiao Demands $10M For Every Pound Overweight! |
|

Through his lawyer Franklin Gacal, Manny Pacquiao has reportedly said he wants a $10 million penalty for every pound or fraction of a pound that Floyd Mayweather is overweight for the proposed 147 pound match up between the two fighters.
This is an unprecedented penalty amount requested by Pacquiao. However perhaps Pacquiao feels that Mayweather will come in overweight to give himself a greater size advantage. Mayweather had to pay a $600,000 penalty to Juan Manuel Marquez in September for two pounds over the agreed upon weight of 144 pounds.
This hard ball negotiating move could also be a power play response to Mayweather's request that Pacquiao be blood tested for performance enhancers as done in the Olympics.
