    Pacquiao has only weighed in above 140 once in his entire career, and that was only at 142. And he's only weighed in above 130 three times in his entire career.

    Agaisnt Oscar, Pac weighed in at 142 although the limit was 147. Against Hatton, Pac weighed in at 138 although the limit was 140, and that was just 3 months ago.

    Fanny Pac should just fight the champs at 140 instead of draining WWs.

    Why? Fans want to see the best fights. All of those fighters are at WW that make the best fights now.

    Well then...the lil ***** should fight the guys at 140 and leave WWs alone.

    You don't see Floyd demanding catchweights and all that hoe-style bull****.

    He has the skills and strength to give up 15 to 20lbs in the ring..he don't care.:yep

    Fanny Pac doesn't have the skills NOT to care.:deal

    Wrong. PBF will not come down you can forget about it. If PBF is a small man they should have no problem going up and fighting him since size won't be an issue.

    It's not the best fights after the WWs are drained.

    Since Fanny is such a HUUUUGE draw..he could make the same money fighting the champs at 140.

    That way he AND his opponents will enter the ring at their BEST...but...Pac's team don't want that.:deal

    Pac has move up in weight alot more than Mayweather.

    and Mayweather is fighting Marquez, a guy who's never fought above LW in his entire career. While Pacquiao is fighting a guy who comes in the ring at 160lbs

    noone wants to see Pac fighting JrWWs, he destoryed the best one in 6 minutes.

    The difference is Mayweather is accomedating Marquez taking into consideration him being a lightweight?

    Mayweather could have easily said 147 or nothing.

    Manny Pac is not doing the same. So it is not a true comparison.

    I think you're taking this a little too far. We both know 145 will not hurt Cotto. Oscar was not a WW at the time so he was not a drained WW. He was a drained jr MW. He made a dumb mistake with his weight, but he was going to lose anyway. I predicted it 4 or 5 months ahead of time. I would have been a bit nervous too if I had been Roach in that situation.

    I thought I was the only one who had noticed that. I am surprise no one didn't ask Roach or Arum about that. Or maybe they did and they said NO COMMENT!!!!

    If PBf is a small man then there is no reason he would not come down in weight.

    ****ing obsession with weight. As long as neither guy is drained, I could care less what weight they fight at. Make it happen. Period.

    PBF has been fighting at 147 for years now he's not going to do it. He will not allow Pac to dictate terms to him he will do the dictating or there will be no fight.:deal

    If Floyd is too small for Pac, then there is no need to ask him to come down in weight. Catchweights were invented to allow two fighters to fight eachother that were too far apart in weight/size. That wouldn't be an issue in this fight and therefore there would be no need for a catchweight. A catchweight of 143 lbs or more would be pointless. A catchweight of 142 lbs. or less would seem like an obvious attempt to drain a fighter that Roach claims is too small, weak, and fragile for Pac.
