    Thank you, if this doesn't help them why do it that's always my argument.

    People on ESB are pathetic...they cry and moan that 2 140lb fighters are coming up to 147 to face Pacquiao...

    Yet if 2 140lb fighters in Rios and Alvarado are offered to come at 143 instead of the full 147 this is somehow to Pacquiao's benefit? Surely it helps the 140lb guys not come in at a big weight?

    Pacquiao has weighed 147 in both his last fights, I can't remember the last time he weighed in at 143lb? Other haters were saying Pacquiao should go down to 140 to face these fighters...

    But 143 is somehow a disgrace? You can't win, haters will hate beyond reason...what a pathetic bunch

    Question what was your opinion about Diaz-Khan, I've told the story of Khan-Diaz being announced as a 143 catchweight and at the scene the same people who for 6 years defended everything Pacquiao did went off on Khan calling it a disgrace, so do you have two standards? Can Floyd fight Khan at 143?

    Did Diaz fight at welterweight? I believe his last few fights were at welterweight? If that's the case then it's clearly different...if they are saying it's a disgrace that Khan, the 140lb fighter is doing a catchweight then if you compare Pacquiao v Alvarado then Alvarado is the disgrace in this scenario as he's the 140lb fighter and Pacquiao is coming down? Or am I missing something?

    Explain, I haven't looked up Diaz's last few fights...I have an open mind explain your comparison of Khan and Pacquiao

    Khan (140) v Diaz (147) at 143
    Alvarado (140) v Pacquiao (147) at 143

    ???

    How does this favour Manny? Alvarado and Rios just fought at 140lbs lol. Fighting at something like 143lbs is fine.

    Diaz says he looks at himself as a welterweight now and Khan says he looks at himself as a Junior welterweight, by the way the idea of Khan-Mayweather is a absolute **** hole that I will not buy but you can't say anything because you blindly worship Pacquiao.

    I far from blindly worship Pacquiao. And your response just shows how you hvae no logic. Diaz is the welter coming down. Pac the welter coming down. Your comparison is stupid. I don't blindly worship Pacquiao, far from it. You are just a hater because you're a typical Floyd nuthugger

    Floyd is a fake thug who was crying like a ***** after 20 days in county, I wish J Prince would have punished him and Al Haymon, I don't give two shits about Floyd what I care about is this catchweight queen raping boxing.

    Calm down guys, I know where the hate is coming from but lets be real here. If they implement a catchweight now and looking at the possible opponents... It'll do more harm to Pac than good. Every single opponent he had lined up for him now is happy about this catchweight.. hey ain't draining to get to 140 lbs.

    Yes, a no catch weight fight is better.. But this situation really makes me feel like a ****** if I ***** about it.. If anything its a handicap for Pac.

    Are there any quotes from Arum or Pac's people that it's gonna' be a catchweight? Or is it just what the article is claiming? I seriously doubt they'll be going for a catchweight. It would be pointless.

    And hang on a sec, weren't a lot of you complaining about it being at 147? Saying it will disadvantage Alvarado? And now that it's at 143, it's suddenly benefitting Pacquiao now? :rofl

    Catchweight or not, either guy gets slaughtered. They would need 4 arms to beat Pac.
