    I am a huge Pac and Roach fan, but Freddie has already made an error of monstrous, of idiotic, of multi million dollar and fight altering proportions.

    If he really thought this, he should have demanded another weight in right there and then, with another scale.

    How in hell do you say nothing in the moment, the only actual time things can be checked, and then start talking later. It makes no sense to me.

    So even if Freddie is right, he ****ed up big time.

    The $100,000,000 dollar scale. Yeah... I'd tamper with it too.

    Good lord... people won't even deal with the facts of the undercard fighters weighing in just fine on the same scale.

    Would this really increase punching power or not really much of a advantage?

    :thumbsup yea, if the scales were tipped 3.5 pounds you would think he would have said something right there and then. Its one thing if your weight shifts a half pound or so, but to go from 146 to 142 in is ridiculous, especially considering Pac has been training for months and is in prime shape

    Somebody with a remote control device activated an internal mechanism planted within the scale as Pacquiao and De La Hoya made their entrances. Probably Richard Schaefer.

    :lol:

    I said earlier that Oscar must have had a computer chip put into the scale that read his feet when he stepped on, so it knew when to lie.

    THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

    Yeah! in that case it's possible that the REAL WEIGHT was actually 148lbs which is over the agreed catch weight of 147lbs..

    Anyway, it's all immaterial now...

    They should have done this at a catch weight, like 144 or 145,
    it made no sense to do this at welter, there is no title on the line.

    De La Hoya wasn't sure that he could make 144 or 145.

    Many of us doubted whether he could even get down to 147.

    4 years ago when he fought Hopkins he weighed 10 lbs more than he did yesterday.

    But the dumbass activating it did it to early, so Pacquiao's weight was off too. I bet you he'll be thrown out of DLH's camp now.

    Sounds fishy to me. But people are right Roach should of said something then. His face did look bamboozled though at the weigh in when pac stepped on
