Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito: Manny To Demand 150-Pound Weight

[Tweezy316]

care to explain the rules of the Mexican boxing commission in Monterrey?

They don't even know where they are fighting yet. But the 1st choice IS VEGAS!!! If you read the article they are trying to get Marg a 1 day license. So yeah you're post FAIL

how's this for commission rules eh *******s?

Y'all better believe that Manny will impose his OWN weight penalties ABOVE what the commission already imposes.

[incredible]

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will request a catch-weight of 150-pounds when he moves up to the junior middleweight division to challenge Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC title on November 13.

If your going to fight for the title, then fight at 154; or not at all. I don't have a problem with the catchweight, for a straight up fight, but the title should not be on the line. Disappointing this is, I thought the fight was going to be held at 154. It's bad enough most people don't give him credit for the 147 IB title; another catchweight title at 150 would look bad. Any interest I might have had in this fight just went down the drain reading this article...

i dont care about cathweights, they're fine with me... i dont see why fighters want or need them, for f-ck's sake theres plenty of weight classes, not a big difference between them, but whatever... not a big f-cking deal

but to put a title on the line and the defending champ can't even come in at the title's weight??? thats bull****

Exactly, it's bull**** for the champions to move down in weight.

you do understand the WBC JMW (154) belt is vacant, right?

nobody's defending ****.

It was already a slap in the face to the 154 lbers to have pac and marg fighting for the vacant wbc title. But now for it to be at 150 lbs. THEY HAVE TO BE PISSED!! Especially since they know Pac won't defend the title. He's just adding to his bull**** resume.

Why do you act like that matters? The only reason this is allowed is because Bob Arum called in a favor. Since he bought that damn diamond belt.

It would be more fair to offer Berto (an active WW champion) the chance at the 150 catchweight.

Big fan of Manny and Margo but this is ridiculous if your fighting for the 154 title then fight at 154 but if Manny demands it Tony will accept no doubt.I dont like what Manny is doing with these catchweights this is not the Manny of old
