For all the fuss people make about Pacquiao and his catchweight fights this is only his second one in 57 fights. Kelly Pavlik had two by the time he had 35 fights.
Yep, Roach says he hates catchweights, he wanted this fight at 147, their fighting weight, but for the sake of a title, they give Margo an extra advantage.
They gave him an advantage?????? I like Pac and lost respect for Cheato but they only gave him ashot at the P4P champ. Regarding the title, if they want it 147 - 154 is the proper weight. It's not that they GAVE him an advantage... atsch BTW Margo can make 154 very comfortably, so if you ask me, it's only more an advantage for Pac to fight at 151 instead of letting Cheato to blow up to 154...
Yes they gave him an advantage because Pac wants the title. If Pac didnt want the title, the fight would be at 147lb. Pac is a small WW, Pac IMO is cheating his way to the 154lb title but his cheating is gonna cost him 3lb of extra weight for Margo. Its the same as if Pavlik wanted to win the 154lb title at 156lb againts PW. Yes Pavlik would be winning a title and thats to his advantage, however the fact that for the sake of the title, he has to go down to 156 instead of 160, he is giving PW an advantage. Same story here.
