    Now this? Possibly weaseling his way out of a hefty contract stipulation penalty and with no drastic effort to make the weight, he'll have almost every advantage coming into the fight? This is not something you just put aside and leave to speculation.
    To Floyd call him a ***** is to say something, considering Floyd isn't himself the nicest individual... The L he has with a much smaller Floyd really must taste good for everyone now. Imagine if Manny can do it too! Oscar has become pure EVIL.

        The real surprise came when Pac weighed himself again AFTER and not DURING the weigh-in so there's no way he could've done anything about it while it was happening but only to question himself where did those 4 pounds go.

          If all of this crap is true, I hope that happens and KARMA bites him in the ass.

            More BS and excuses. Pacquiao said after breakfast he weighed in at 145.5 which was BEFORE the weigh in. If I weighed any differently at the official weigh in I would have said no I want the scale recalibrated since I get 3mil for each additional pound. During the 24/7 show he also weighed around the same weight. All of the other fighters had no problems with the scales, only freddie roach and pacquiao. Maybe the scale they were using for their weigh in was not right. Like I said BS and excuses.

                  That would be Pac and his team's fault for not asking for a recalibration if they smelled something fishy, but it's hard to make spur of the moment decisions like that.

                  In 24/7, Pac weighed 141 AFTER an intense workout. Naturally, he would've tapered off on all the training as the day of the official weigh-in approached, so he'll be walking around heavier than 141. De la Hoya himself only mad 147.9 after a workout. Before that he was 155.

                  You could also be right that their scale was f'ed up, but I really doubt it because Elite teams like DLH's and Pac's are the best at what they do and would make sure of their accuracy because every ounce counts in this sport.

                    heh, knowing boxing and all the shady **** that goes on, i would not be surprised if the scales were fiddled.

                    and I was super surprised that Manny weighed that light.

                    the other thing: for weighing in at 145, and being interviewed there, DLH seemed...really bouncy and ****, all energized, and he didn't look weight drained at all...kind of shocking to me when he hasn't gone down that low in years. Damn, if it's true, he's only 5 pounds off from making 140.

                      Didn't all the other fighters weigh in on the same scale. Are they all over the weight limit as well???
