Is it ridiculous that Pac can be a title holder NOT at the correct weight?

      It seems to be a joke that he can be crowned the champ of a weight division, but lowers the weight limit for both fighters

      What do you think....


      This is clearly not Pacs idea, just his trainer/promoters
      pretty much!

        Isn't Superwelter at 148 to 154?? So 150 is Superwelter.

          Its very ridiculous. Lets just crown teams super bowl champs when they make it to the second round of the playoffs. Hey while we're at it lets call Pac's fight for the light heavyweight title who cares if its not at 175, they arnt fighting at 154 either and yet its for the light middleweight title. Disgusting beyond belief.

              They pulled the same sheat!

              I'm sorry, but in my book Pacquiao has won titles in 6 weight classes. HE DIDN'T WIN THE WELTERWEIGHT belt honorably because HE didn't fight with the limits of the weight class and now He's doing the same sht.
              He wants a jr mid title with his limits and not the weight limits.

              Sorry Pacland, that's not winning a title, that's Jose Sulaiman making his money on a big fight disregarding the same rules HE should be enforcing.

              1st they pick an easy target, then they make the ilegal easy target legal for the fight, then they get Jose to GIVE them a title to fight for at whatever weight they want to come in.

              147 title is fought at 147 and the 154 title is fought at 154.
              If Pacquiao the beatch wants to come at 150, He can, but don't set limits of 150 to earn a 154 title. And please, don't tell me is just a few lbs, because a few lbs is all what separates one class from another.

              Why didn't they fight at 147 if they don't want to make 154???

              Just to get another PAPER title for the Pilipino Whole of Fame.

                but I totally disagree this fight being for a championship because pac and margarito have done jack **** at 154 to get this fight as a championship fight.

                Catchweights are to see who is the better fighter when the weight difference is too big. There is no reason why they should be a catch weight between Margo and Pac cause we know that Pac is #1 already and Margo is not where near one of the top fighters. Ive been a boxing fan for a long time and catchweight is nothing new to me, so I have already lived with it for a long time.

                  That fight was more of the two best fighters around the same weight class and it was a very big fight cause both fighters had so much momentum going in the fight. Totally different scenerio from Pac/Margo
