    In the U.K! :good

    In front of 90,000 at Wembley. :deal

    Edit - I see you've changed the title lol, I think a catchweight is fine, 140 would be ideal though.

    For the sake of fairness it should be 140 (NOT 144 or whatever the catchweight currently being discussed is). I think the only way the fight would be entertaining or worthwhile at all would be at 135, but I know there's no chance of that happening.

    It shouldn't be held anywhere. It's yet another shitty fight against another declining fighter with a name. JMM won't be competitive and it'll be another lopsided victory for MP. JMMat this stage is too old and slow and too small for Pac . I guarantee Pac will KO him within 6 rounds.

    well if you're asking for weight, it should be at 135 where pac would also get credit. at 140 and 147, pac would not get any sort of credit since jmm is unproven at the weight. but if they still pursue with this fight without marquez getting a title at 140 first to bridge the division gap, they should be held at a weight where both would be ok. jmm's proposal of 144 catchweight is fine. so as 147 since jmm would be gunning for his 4th world title in as many weight class.

    as nacho is saying, the weight divsion won't matter coz these two guys are roughly the same size by fight night.

    but jmm is not too old nor too small for floyd who is a naturally bigger man than both pacquiao and marquez right?
