I bet dela Hoya doesn't make weight on the first try. :D

[Silencers]

But even if he comes in at 147.5, he will be fined.

I didn't hear about that but you're probably right, although I think he'd be able to lose that .5 pounds if that happens.

[woweezowee]

DLH is the consummate professional, he will make weight. The man weighs 149 right now, two pounds is nothing and from reports I have read, he's weighed that for a while now.

The key is to get to that weight slowly so it won't affect your stamina or strength. Oscar has been keeping that weight for a while.

IIRC oscar was 151 at the weigh in against forbes

nobody cares if he can't make weight , do you think that the pacquiao team is gonna cancel the fight and leave all those millions of dollars.

$3 million dollars for EVERY pound Oscar comes in over the weight limit. They're not exactly leaving millions of dollars. I'm sure the PPV revenue is a big booster, though. But Pacquiao could leave content (I think) if Oscar came in over the weight limit, but I don't think Oscar being such a terrific businessman would leave a HUGE financial opportunity on the table. No way no how!

But hell, that is a real fearsome contract clause.

[Fenom]

The hell with 24/7, I don't think Oscar's quite there yet like he claims. I'm certain he'd still be a pound or so over and would need to have his balls cut off to make 147.

those'd be some pretty big balls
