Then why drag Abuelito Marquez up to welterweight?
unless a fighter plans to remain at a division, he shouldn't fluctuate in weight, it's too risky for your body, especially with a floyd mayweather fight possibly on the horizon.
Manny is imitating the footsteps of Mayweather. Perhaps Pac will cheat in the scales too come day of the weigh-in.
Not gonna happen, Manny is an illiterate that don't know how to read contracts, how do you expect him to rewrite a contract like Floyd did.
Sorry but this is retarded. What fight fan will buy this fight at welter but not at 135 or 140?
More fans would pay to see them fight if it was at 135.
Doubt it. People will actually wonder why Pacquiao would fight in a lower weight than he is already dominating. All the casual fans knew is that these 2 boxers have had 2 wars already and this one for sure will also be.
I call bullsh**. Not effectively he can't.
Pacquiao's certainly not a welterweight, but I doubt he could get down to lightweight anymore without being drained.
Of course he can make 135, but why should he??
Why drop to 135 then back up again for his next fight?
Marquez called out Manny, so it's up to him to meet him at his weight.

:nono:.
Of course it will sell more tool, manny is a bigger star now.
Believe what u want but im sure most boxing fans want the fight to happen at welter.
We will see, if the 3rd fight will outsell the 2nd fight then im right and ur wrong

^^^This... But Manny has lost that desire, imo. If his 4 lineal claim is in trouble, I'm pretty sure he'll be more up to the challenge to get his 5th.
He can still get that 5th lineal belt if and when he fights Floyd at WW.
JMM wanted this fight at WW, Manny granted him a 144 CW.
JMM wanted to make mexican history, hence the reason he wants Pac's belt at WW.
thats true. marquez did accept the fight at 147. plus it would be a greater win for marquez if he does beat pac at WW as opposed to pac going down two weight classes to fight marquez. I would have preferred if the fight was at 140 though, but then again marquez can weigh-in at 140 1/2 or 141 if he wanted to and pac will probably weigh in at around 142 or 143.

well you should fight Jmm at 135 for his lineal title..then you can have 5 lineal title claims

Both Pac and Marquez are forced to fight at higher weight because most PPV buyers don't care about the lower weight division.

actually, when juan went from 135 to 147 that was against floyd
with pacquiao he's going from 140 to 144
Actually he is a 135 lb champion. He's not at 140. Nice try.
Plus I could care less about that. I care more about the fact that less than a year ago they said he would starve to go to 140. Of course it was bs. They want all advantages
Yesterday I was lying today I'm telling the truth...........perfect quote for this entire camp.
martinez couldn't make anything less than 150 without starting himself and chopping off body parts
he's 185 between fights and he's a fit guy and a year round athlete with clean living habbits
if paquiao was bigger than martinez he'd still call him out
he's supremely confident. he's only calling out manny because he's the cash cow, not because he wants to cherrypick a smaller guy.
you cant flag a guy for being big and trying to accommodate a smaller opponent when he's bringing so much money to the table.
Sergio said he still make 150, same as Pac saying he can still make 135, but that does not mean that those are the weights where they fight best.
If it's not good for Sergio, it's also not good for Manny.
And yet the man who fought at 135 last has to come up to 147 to get his long overdue rematch. BS
As long as manny is top rank he will never fight a live fighter. It will always be against an aging fighter at a weight beneficial to manny and detrimental to his opponent.
In the ring he a warrior, before the fight they are jokes
