    Alright, forget catchweights......what does this forum think is fair.....do you want Marquez and Pacquiao to meet between their weight divisions at 140 lbs, or do you think its more fair to have Marquez move up 2 weight divisions to meet Pacquiao at 147 lbs?



    Let the forum vote!

    Neither

    The Mexican FOTD is too far past his best to be game for Manny now

    140 if PAC wants to be competitive, roach and arum will not allow as quoted in the media over and over.

    But I'm with Marquez.. DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO LAND THE FIGHT.

    147 realistically is gonna happen... Marquez is on fire right now... Just come in how you came in with KAT and you will do good.

    Also be like floyd and offer some wiggle room and the highest make it at 144

    This is pretty clear cut.

    140 = fair.

    147 = not.

    You're a joke Farmy, what else is new?

    You crucified Void for adding the extra weight vs Marquez, now you want Roid to do the same.:patsch

    I don't think it will matter because Marquez will climb the ring at around 145-146 and 148-149 for Pac.

    **** it 147... Why does Pacquiao have to come down? Marquez has been CRYING like a ***** all these years, why reward such behavior by fighting at 140lb? Little Bitter Man that's why is doesn't have a following. ****ing 5,000 people came out to watch him, that is ****ING pathetic.

    He should negotiate a catchweight of 142lb. Come in at 144lb and pay him $500,000 instead of $600,000 the last time his opponent came in overweight. :D

    thanks giving weekend. hmm.
    lol 10 thousand tickets were given for free for PAC and MARG :lol: but yeah, thats not what we are talking about.


    You are arguing with Boxing fans, the fight ain't happening at 140 anyways... This is just boxing fans talking at what would be better.


    Obviously Marquez has said he prefers 140-144 but that for the fight he would be willing to come in at 147 if it comes down to that.. SO STFU Marquez has guts and he is willing to do anything for the fight, dude is making millions something that you will never be able to accomplish in your lifetime.

    140 for me, just to lessen the potential excuses after the fight.

    But I think that either way Pac will come in at 147-148 while JMM will come in at around 144-145. So I really don't see a disadvantage for JMM if the fight's at 147 because all it means is that Pac won't have to cut the extra 4.6 lbs that he would have cut very easily anyway were the fight at 140.

    This. Does it really matter? If Marquez foguht at 145 in his last bout then they shouldn't be too far apart. Both should reyhydrate to around 145.
