I see so many information about the payload from 118000KG for the 777-8F. Can it possible that the information from the Boeing-Web-Page with 112300KG is wrong? Or make I a mistake to read the information?

Type: MTOW vs. Payload A350F: 319 tons vs. 109 tons B777-8F: 351 tons (777-8 and 777-9 figure) vs. 112.3 tons
The range is 4698 nmi vs. 4410 nmi, it seems A350F is much more efficient to deliver similar amount of payload. Will be interesting to see fuel burn figure comparison.
With A350F expected to enter service in 2025, and B777-8F in 2027 (if B777X programme could start delivery from 2024) - "Production of the 777-8 was expected to follow the 777-9 around two years later. It could be the basis of a freighter version which could be available 18 to 24 months after the introduction of the 777-8."
With Airbus keep improving each model, between 2025 and 2027, Airbus could manage to increase the MTOW and maximum payload to match 777-8F. The only advantage for 777-8F is 1 96"x125"x96" pallet at main deck (always have to load this particular pallet first) and 1 96"x124"x64" pallet at lower deck. In total, 42 pallet vs. 44 pallet.

Or make I a mistake to read the information? Are they really that useless? When Boeing is so desperate to recover from recent MAX/787/777X problems, and want to push a new freighter to compete with its main competitor to save the only market segment that it still dominate, then they got the most important payload figure wrong on their own official website?
