Why Is The Pac/Cotto Weigh- In So Late?

[DrewWoodside]

Are you sure?

I'm pretty sure it was at 3. However Pacific not EST.

Look it up. I'm sure there must be an article covering it; those usually go out shortly after they weigh-in takes place. I just remember being at home and watching it before I go into work which is at 3pm EST.

cant believe some ****** cotto fans really believe manny's camp can set the weigh in time. and whats more ******ed are the followers who believe it and create conspiracy theories that since manny can set the this/that and blah blah blah. pathetic.

POST THE HISTORY date/time OF THE LAST 5 WEIGHT IN .... @ THE MGM...



its more than obvious .. this is not a conspiracy theory...... ! still... no excuses.... may the best man win! but nobody cant deny this ****.. they are trying to give cotto less time to recover...

That's messed up .
this has to be one of Roach's tricky strategies .

They need excuses for Saturday night, that's why. I can read them like a book, they're so easy it's not even funny anymore...

What makes this so unbeliveable??? If the guy can get the welterweight belt to be on the line at a catch weight of 145, A brand new made up belt and the super duper belt they announced yesterday,plus a whole host of other perks. It's obvious that Arum favors him. He's doing everything in his power to give Pac the advantages so he can set up that mega fight between Pac and Mayweather.

Then why was the Mayweather Marquez weigh-in at 3pm EST?

Thats' funny, I watched it live before I left work...I get off 3:30 PST

Weighins are usually at 3 or 4 pm for big fights. If it's at 6 then maybe that's what roach requested so that Cotto doesn't blow up or have more time

6pm is not an uncommon weigh in time for Vegas which is 3pm their time. It's ideal for American tv because that's when ESPN's Sportscenter begins their telecast and I'm sure they'll be covering the weigh-in live as they normally do.

yes. that is right. the floyd-juan weigh-in was covered live on sportscenter so it had to be around 6pm.

the weigh-ins used to be early in the day. but ever since weigh-ins became big events (oscar/floyd, floyd/ricky, manny/ricky) they have moved the events to later in the afternoon. weigh-in used to be pretty quiet but now 5000 people attend. it helps the promotion of the fight, and it brings more fans to the casinos. which is why the casino paid the site fee to begin with.

Then why was the Mayweather Marquez weigh-in at 3pm EST?

it could not have been. i watched it on espn in my living room with my girlfriend and she gets home at 5:30
