    theres no 150 pound belt. these catch weights are pretty stupid. first cotto at 145 now marg at 150. its really ridiculous that these fighters agree to this. I know the money is going to be out of this world, but they will lose because they are weight drained, that is the whole plan.

    this is a farce

    How is Marg fighting higher than his usual fighting weight draining him?

    common knowledge is that he will be weight drained for the fight.

    whats the matter with you people?
    get pacquiaos semen out of your mouths and ask yourself

    since when was 150 a weight class!?!?!?

    What do you mean? I'm confused. If a fighter who has spent most of his career at 147 is allowed to weight 150, how is it common knowledge that he'll be drained?

    don't you know that if you cannot weight on the exact weight limit you will be drained even if you are fighting above your weight division?

    also, is it really official that this fight is happening at 150? last time there were rumors also that clottey was at a 145 but it turned out false.

    I understand the annoyance towards catchweights.
    But for someone who's been around here as long as you have to actually call Antonio weight drained at 150 is absolutely mind boggling.
    Take note that in Margaritos last 10 fights, 9 have been at 147. Does any of this make sense yet?

    And the sad thing is he will have the record for most belts at weight classes. Only on paper though. The real boxing fans will know...

    so that Marg won't be able to rehydrate to 170 lbs come fight night. Instead, Margo will probably be around 165. It seems like it's not much but at this level a 22lb disadvantage is harder to handle than a 17lb disadvantage.

    I dont think there would be this much outrage if it wasnt for a title.

    While you're at it, you might might want to spread a bull**** rumour that Pacquiao will also make Margarito sign a rehydration clause.

    He already has the record. Lineal titles in 4 weight classes, regular titles in 7. Those are both records.

    Even if the Margo fight is cancelled, Pac already has the record.

    Maybe so in other cases but this TS is CRYING about Margarito being weight drained at 150.
