Why does weight of 140/147 matter for Pacquiao/Marquez?

[el malo]

What Pac should do is weigh in at 135 while defending his 154 lb. title against Martinez.

That way, everyone will be happy and finally shut the fuck up for once.

if he did that vs jmm it would work. nobody can complain about pac beating jmm at 135, it would be the best win of his career.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

No matter which weight they fight at, 140 or 147, Pacquiao would Still weigh the same on fight night. If the fight is at 140lb, Pacquiao will just rehydrate to a comfortable weight easily. (Obviously Pacquiao can make 140lb easy)

JMM DOESN'T have to come in @ 147lb, right?

So I really don't see why some peeps are making a big deal out of this.

so what's up bro. you said that 140/147 wouldn't matter cuz pac would rehydrate to a comfortable weight easy but when i mention 135 which is only 5 pounds less and jmm's best fighting weight, everyone leaves the thread lol. pac will still rehydrate to a comfortable weight easy.

[scap]

but his fans here say he can make 140 easy, what's 5 more pounds? he will rehydrate to 148 anyway.

Whats 5 more pounds?

[el malo]

Whats 5 more pounds?

thats what im asking, you have a answer?

Too bad Pac won't go down to 135. That would be won of his best wins though, if he went back down to Marquez's weight and beat him there.

140 would be fair, but I don't see Pac doing that either.

135 or the fight means NOTHING

thats what im saying it would be a great win.

This is a very good point.

Fight night weights:
At 130...Manny was coming in 144
At 135..against Diaz he came in at 148
At 140 against Hatton he came in at 148
At 147 against DLH he came in at 148
At 150 against Margarito he came in at 148

I think you guys see a trend here. No matter if it's at LW, JWW or WW...I think it's safe to say Manny will be the same size come fight night.

Pacquiao has been draining himself to fight for years. In the last Marquez fight he rehydrated himself 16 pounds to 145 on fight night. Fighting at 140 or cathweight won't make a difference.

What's being talked about is 140lb and 147lb
Majority of the Pac-haters were saying they want to see the fight at 140lb. I simply provided some info on why it doesn't matter.
