Around SBN: Phil Mickelson Outshines Tiger Woods

Mayweather and Marquez were suppose to fight at 144lbs. but Floyd came in two pounds over the agreed upon weight. Fear not boxing fans as both parties had forseen this predicament and negotiated a penalty of $300,000 per pound overweight.

While 600,000 sounds like a lot of money Mayweather's minimum guarantee is $10 million where as Marquez will make $3.2 million guarantee.

This is another great example of the differences between boxing and MMA.

I hope there wasn’t a ton of pro-boxing blogs rambling this past week about MMA fighters not making weight

If one of the main event fighters doesn’t take it seriously, why should the fans?

Don’t worry, they aren’t. Last I heard, you can currently buy eight consecutive seats at every price level except the cheapest one for Mayweather/Marquez.
