    How about same day weigh-in for Pac vs. Mayweather?

    Excerpt from Marley's site:

    "The real sticking point and the key to Pinoy Idol Manny’s realistic chances of victory will be the blood and guys negotiating over weight and the timing of the weigh in.

    ....

    (Back in the day) The fighters weighed in promptly at noon around ringside. The first bout went off about eight hours later.

    That’s what Pacquiao must have against the bigger man, Mayweather.

    It’s the one nonnegotiable point, a same day weigh in.

    Secondary in importance but still vital is the maximum poundage. Pacman should try to make it 142 or 143 but I don’t think the Mayweather camp will ever agree to that.

    So, in the spirit of giving something to get something, you can agree to 144 pounds—with no specification of a financial penalty because if L’il Floyd is too big, the fight is canceled.

    (The alternative would be to make the overweight clause extremely painful, let’s say $3 million per pound.)

    In no circumstance, should the Pacman team allow any scenario wherein Mayweather could weigh more than 146 pounds. The difference with a same day weigh in is, obviously, that he would only have eight or so hours to pack on poundage as opposed to 28 hours.)

    ....

    If Pacquiao gets a same day weigh in, he maximizes his chances of beating the undefeated fighter.

    If he doesn’t, while it won’t be as one sided as Floyd’s shutout of Marquez, it will be another Mayweather victory.

    Lose the contract battle concerning a same day weigh in, the fight is lost for Pacman.

    Win that concession and, to me, it’s a real 50-50 proposition."

      I don't mind, Mayweather's body has matured. I still believe Pacquiao will come in at 148-149 and Mayweather 152.

        Mayweather was not 152 my friend. He looked a lot bigger. For a second I thought Marquez was fighting Clottey. .

            If PBF agrees to that then I'll be very surprised.

            If I was pac then I would make it clear that I wanted this same day weigh in or no deal from the start, and make it publicly known. So if the deal breaks down then everybody will know that PBF is scared of the midget pinoy.

              Let's see how much Pac weighs against Cotto. Floyd made a substantial effort to get as low as 146 so a fightnight weight of 152 is probably a low estimate.
