Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao vs Marquez Will Be at 147 or No Fight

[Horvo]

Floyd paid $600K to weigh in at 146, do you think he weighed only 148 on fight night against JMM? He probably came in around 10 pounds over JMM.

Pac will only come in at most 3 pounds over JMM even if JMM has a 135 limit and Pac has no limit at all.

More than likely, yes.

So it is not possible to perform as he does in his age? While my statement stands, this is a bad example, anyways. A guy nearly 50 kinda has the right to use something, to compete with 30 somethings. Not so in his next fight, mind you... Ideally, it would only be about determination and skill, not age.

Mayweather had fought 5 fights at welter or higher when he fought JMM. Pac has fought 4. What's the difference? Hell, at least Money fought him as a tune-up after a two year layoff. Pac and his crew will be trying to pass this off as a legitimate fight.

its JMM that wants to fight PAC not the other way around ..its JMM only begging for the fight ..PAC can fight Berto/Timmy those r good fights as well

I guess Arum showed Mayweather how to quack and he's teaching it to PAC now

lmao haha you said it!

WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is pushing very hard for a third fight with Manny Pacquiao. The three division champion from Mexico would like the fight to take place at a max catch-weight of 144-pounds. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, is not going to budge on the weight. Arum, along with Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, are taking a hard line with Pacquiao's next fight taking place at the full welterweight limit of 147-pounds.

the smartest thing marquez can do is come in at 135lbs screw even 140lbs, let pac come in at whatever he wants. anything above 138lbs jmm has zero chance.

no offense but tuneup my ass. floyd-jmm was billed Numero Uno. floyd said he wanted to fight the best that's why he took on what he thinks at that time was the 'real p4p#1.

As I recall, JMM called out Floyd Mayweather in his postfight interview after the Juan Diaz fight. So once again, I can't understand why Money was criticized for fighting him and people are excusing Pac.

[rogdogx]

Marquez couldn't get up to 144 when he fought Mayweather so he wont make 147 at the weigh in. If its 147 or no fight I opt no fight Bob "sleaseball" Arum

the limit is 140 not 135 he can come anything over 140 but nothing over 147 and at fight night he can put on as any amount of weight he chooses

We know what he said. But that was a ****ing tuneup. You had to be a real idiot to buy that crap. And if he fought another tuneup after that he would've (rightfully) been lambasted. If he tried to go for three in a row (like Manny is trying to do), he probably woulda been shot.
