Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Martinez Possible, Same Day Weigh-In

[Leohappy]

what's the point in making this fight if it's going to be at a cw with a rehydration limit (or same night weigh in)? martinez would waste time losing weight, and entered the ring drained like a zombie. stop it already!

EVERY fight should have same day weigh-ins.

Manny would be fighting a zombie. Just say He is too big and forget about it!

The reason why Boxing has 17 weight divisions is to avoid one fighter getting unfair size advantage!

Martinez fighting weight is at 160 lb and walkaround weight is 175 lb.
Pacquiao fighting weight is at 147 lb and walkaround weight is 150 lb.

Don't get me wrong, I like to see this fight if it happens...
But both side should agree to a compromise!
If one is not happy, so don't expect the fight from happening...

A dream fight between Manny Pacquiao and Sergio Martinez is possible - if Martinez agrees to a same-day weigh-in, according to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes the Filipino superstar. Martinez, the WBC's Diamond champion at middleweight, is willing to drop down to a catch-weight of 150-pounds to face Pacquiao, the WBO's champion at 147-pounds.

This is a ****ing joke.... He won't let him rehydrate? What the **** is the point then? Fighting a body?
Too afraid of losing your cashcow?

Another drained fighter when does it end with Team Pac , how does Manny sleep at night , *** might as well fight the LHs at 154 same day maybe even a Klit at 160 ,,, do people realize if you beat somebody that is not at there best you didnt really beat them , you just manipulated the fight to handicap them and advantage you ., Pac has been doing this all the way , he just dont fight in fair fights any more , maybe thats why he ducks Floyd so much , because its the fairest fight he could be in .

You sound as ****** as your name. Cant you see that Arum does NOT want him to fight Martinez at all. Why should he have to?? To satisfy your blood urge?? Grow up. Boxing is a business, and Pacquiao is nearly finished in this enterprise. He needs his health and mind for the next steps in his life. He has goals he wants to achieve, and is sacrificing his mind and body now, so as to have the large money to do the other things he wants to do. So he should throw them all away just to suit you and the other brainless idiots???

Not likely.

Are you a ******? I didn't say they should fight, all I said was Arum is ****** for sugesting .

[Lords]

the pac vs dela hoya fight was not a catchweight fight, stop making sh.it up.

but i agree, this is a ridiculous demand by arum. sergio needs to fight his own size or atleast his own weight tho.

Are you ******, the fight was at 145.
