I think losing a couple million because he's over by 2 lbs will kill him inside, especially if its a 50/50 split in purse. It would hurt him to know that Pacquiao is taking home more money than he is. He wont risk coming in over-weight.
145 should be fair, except there no way Floyd would agree to that.
Although when the fight happens at 147, Pac would have put more size and power by then.
And you think that is fair why? Pacquiao just beat Cotto in impressive fashion who was a top WW. I was pissed off that it was at 145 but gave him a pass for a one off... but doing it more takes the piss, Manny is supposed to be the WW champion and it ranked #1 at WW... why should he weigh 145? Fight at the official limit being 147.

What is this to be fair bullshit. Pac chose to move up in weight and when you do one of the consequences is that your gonna face bigger guys.
thats why im saying it should be a 145 fight, so mayweather can cheat 2 pounds and it will still be a WW fight.
Yeah and pay a fine in the process? 147, simple...
The thing about having the fight at 147, is Mayweather can easily come in a couple pounds heavier at say, ~149-150 and pay a fine.
No, cause if Floyd fights him above 147 then he woudn't be able to win the title should he beat Pacquiao cause he would be weighing above the WW limit.
Pacquiao-Mayweather needs to happen at 145. Otherwise it wont be considered a real WW fight when mayweather comes in weighing 2 pounds over.
Do you realise that 147 is the official WW limit?
I could careless what weight they fight in. They are no lineal title on the line. And, as far as I know this fight is for P4P supremacy and P4P don't have a weightclass. Now if Pac fights Mosley then that fight better be at 147.
"then why have it at 145, if mayweather will come in overweight?
shouldn't it be at 147 then?"
Hi Maths, 147 + 2 =149
He said Mayweather was over 2 lbs against Marquez.. which was a 144lb fight.
144+2=146lbs.
Hi Mr. Comprehension.

then why have it at 145, if mayweather will come in overweight?
shouldn't it be at 147 then?
mayweather was 2lbs. over against marquez, but he was still w/in the WW limit, weighing 146.... :asshole:
