Comments Thread For: DiBella To Arum: "Let's Make Pacquiao-Martinez at 155"

[MayweatherJr.]

1st of, Martinez's promoter is the one who wants to do it at 155 lbs. right? So what's all the commotion? Pac has said he could fight at at 150 but did actually issue a challenge? Heck no! If Martinez wants to do it at 150 and Pac agrees they why not? At 155 does it really give Pac a disadvantage over Serg? Let's not forget we're all talking about Pac who is a bloated 140lbs. Pac has to add 15 lbs. while Serg will give up 5, sounds fair to me.


If you're not dumb and delluded, when you think about it, it'll favor Serg cause come fight night he'd be gaining some more weight. Last time I remember, when Floyd agreed to fight at bloated lightweight in Marquez he cheated on the scale. lol!

155 is laughable. Martinez just weight in at 157 against Pwill. It wont kill him to make 155. Pacquiao cant weight more than 150 even if he tried. If Martinez wants to fight Pacquiao come to 147 or at a catchweight between 147 and 155. 70-30 split for Pacquiao of course.

Just STFU! you really don't realise how ****** you sound. Martinez is the new man in town. He's the MW champ and if Pac wanted to be the MW champ then he needs to fight at MW. Plain and simple. Martinez is being generous.

thats right,if he were doing it with them coming in at the normal weight i would say wow he beat a "real" middleweight,but come on i don't care how big martinez is,once he's weightdrained it's another story,all that "big" thing goes out the window,and actually he'd be in the worst shape of his life,training to get down in weight instead of training for the fight itself,i can just picture martinez at 150 when he weighs himself,all drained,****** up and real slow the night of the fight and then another "supposedly" wonderful victory for pacquiao....but this is just talk,doubt it will happen,who know,they'll throw in a lot of money for sergio and he'll probably do it for the money

You spoke on my behalf. The absolute truth. I just don't want to see Martinez coming down anymore than he has to, he'll be drained to hell come fight night. Pacquiao will violate Martinez after the 6th round as he just wont have the stamina to last and continue. On the other hand, a healthy Martinez would destroy Pacquiao.

[boojee]

ummmm no. The fight was at "158" and those three pounds will make a difference.

you have reading comprehension problem, what he was saying martinez weighed in at 157(.5) at weigh in. almost everyone knows that was a 158 catch weight fight.

[fightnight1]

why under 150???mannys the wbc 154 champion

All this bull crap about 8 time world champion. Lets see the champion defend his title at the 154 lbs. weight limit. Enough of the catchweight nonesense. PAC is the catchweight champion. We call it an Asterisk (*).

[xAUGUSTUSx]

IMO...Sergio is too big....BUT...if Manny and Bob decide to take the fight....
154 would be cool....then boxing fans can feel comfortable with calling Manny a 154 champion....as of right now they hijacked the 154 WBC strap....real dudes getting fed up with how those dudes are claiming titles these days....another thing, did Bob REALLY just say that Manny can't be gettin' hurt?!? ....last time I checked, this sport was a hurt game

So Sergio is too big but Margarito was'nt? Margarito is bigger than Sergio.

So Sergio is too big but Margarito was'nt? Margarito is bigger than Sergio.

have you seen what weightclasses they both fight in now?
i thought so

[BoZz]

It's called negotiations.........Pac ain't Mayweather who doesn't budge on his demands coz he's afraid.

you've got that mixed up pal

manny pacquiao demanded a million dollar penalty for every pound which floyd agreed to.

pacquiao still hasn't agreed to a proper blood test so don't talk about anyone else being afraid when your fighter is refusing a 60 million dollar blood test.

[bestboxingonly]

They can fight at 155 next November.

[BoZz]

so pac would be fighting for another title at another weight class without fighting in that weighclass?.he did it with margarito and now it can happen with martinez...i mean,if you can't compete at a certain weight then just don't fight there,stay at where you feel comfortable and fight the best guys around

yea that's how the fraud is building his legacy

and it's quite interesting when pac use to fight in his own weight class he use to get a beating in every fight,it was a sneaky idea to move up in weight and fight weight drained fighters
