    Manny Pacquiao, "If Sergio Martinez can make 147 lbs we can fight"

    LOL, Why not 150 lioke you fought Antonio Mqargarito Pacquiao?

    Do you pay attention to how much of this sport revolves around you? Last week, HBO Sports replaced its president with the guy who had you on Showtime for your last fight. Middleweight champion Sergio Martinez says he wants to fight you. Junior-welterweight champion Timothy Bradley left his promoter, and turned down more than $1 million to fight Amir Khan, thinking he has a shot to be your next opponent.

    "That's my promoter's problem. Whatever the TV stations do is up to them. My job is to prepare for fights, to get in shape and put on a good show. If Sergio Martinez can get to 147 pounds, why not? We can negotiate a weight. I really don't know anything about Bradley's style, but I'll fight him. OK? Have a nice day."

          Probably not brother, last time Pac tried fighting above 147 (vs Marg)- he didnt feel right. He knows his limits. Why come in feeling "fat" and not 100%.

          Last I checked Sergio is Middleweight and Pac is WW. Why the rush to make this fight. Sergio has his eye on May Jr anyway??

            Since when did he say he can make 150?

              ODLH cherry-picked Pacquiao and decided on the weight.


              so don't try that BS.

                At Margarito fight Pacquiao only weight about 144 lbs, while Margarito is at 150. That's before rehydration. Margarito could go until 165 and Pacquiao could only go until 147 but never 150 at fight night. So Pacquiao won't take anymore risk not to Sergio Martinez.

                  wow this made me chuckle. first pac says only 150 and martinez just came out the other week saying he would make 150 to fight pac and now its 147. smdh im not quite sure how arum and pac have been able to fool casual fans when its so clear he is ducking all tough fights. pac aint fought a live opponent since the 2nd jmm fight.

                    Pacquiao immediately announced after the Margarito fight that he would stick to 147 since he had problems with Tony's size.
