    i voted 147..... enough is enough with all this catchweight non-sense

    if he fought oscar @ 147 there is no reason why he cant fight floyd at the same weight

    WBO should just make Floyd the #1 contender. Would make things easier. Fight or move along. But, too much money at stake, so I doubt it.

    They should fight at a weight where both feel comfortable.

    It's gonna be at 147.

    Even if it's at 145 Mayweather will come at 147.

    Wouldn't make any diference anyway prolly.

    well, since pac has (or has a piece of) the WW title, then it should be at 147. just my opinion though.

    It should be at 147. Won't make a difference.

    Although in this case, the catchweight really makes sense because Floyd can easily make it.

    this is some petty crap. Pac filled out his size already. his walk around is 147.

    Why would it be at any other weight but 147lbs? If Mayweather was trying to pull this catchweight bull**** he would be bashed without sympathy, but since Pac is doing it it's ok.

    147. Manny proved he can hang with welters by the way he busted up Cotto. No more catchweights

    Agreed with a big Co-Sign. Manny's management will want special concessions for their fighter. Advantages in case he will have a difficult time. Catchweights for Manny is like an Assurance that the opponent will not be 100% effective; and for the most part it works. Oscar was weak as hell and drained; I can't put my finger on Cotto, but I will say this: He didn't look like the Cotto before Margarito.

    **** it, they are gonna promote this fight as "Pound for Pound" between possibly the 2 best P4P fighters of our era, in their primes (other then Roy of course) why not get crazy and not make a weight limit??? They will both still come in between 140-150, **** the weight limit and just fight....see who wins. P4P!!!
