Not really. If all you're concerned with is Pac's greatness, then yea, he should fight them at whatever weight they want. But since those guys also want to fight him, for the fight to be more fair and in order to make it meaningful also for them they should agree to a lower weight.
why 140...pbf has fought at 154....the fight is 147...he is not gonna drain himself out of a win like odh
Its hardly fair asking someone like Hatton to drop to a weight that he has never, ever fought at. If Pac wants to fight a LW, fight Marquez.
pac is now a light welter. he said that he won't go back to 135 after having probs making weight for the diaz fight. pac will fight both hatton and jmm @140.
It would be at 147 ... Pac has already fought at 147 already and to sweeten the pot, it would be for a title and against an undefeated well known fighter who used to be the best fighter in the world. They would be dumb to pass up a fight against Mayweather considering how much money would be involved.
But PBF would be dumb not to agree to a catch weight to have such a big money fight. It's absurd to make Manny fight at 147. It's fair to have the fight at the lowest weight PBF can still be relatively strong at. 142-144 with an extra $500K for PBF for each pound below 144 he comes in at.
Why not chuck in an extra $1,000,000 if PBF fights with one hand tied behind his back? This whole thing is getting ridiculous :-(
It will be to Pacquiao' benfit to fight at 140 and Mayweather's benfit to fight at 147. We are asuming that Pacquiao beats Hatton than Mayweather who seemes to like to colecet title belts may agree to fight for Pacquiao's newly won (from Hatton) Ring belt at 140. Otherways I would expect this fight to be at 147 or a catchweight between 143 and 145.
