    For money. Pacquiao would never have gone up to 154 at that point and understandably so. Anyway, Oscar came in under the WW limit so I don't think he took the weight off right.

      Oscar looked like he had aids in that fight,and if yall dont remember his tune up was at 154 against Steve Forbes and he was beat up and hurt in that fight.so basically Manny beat a shot to sht dlh big whoop.

        He was the same weight fight night as he was at the weigh in. Roach said they waited to long to hydrate him. Why would they wait until the day after the weigh in to hydrate him?

            Yes it was. Oscar used the Forbes fight as a tuneup fight for Pacquaio at welterweight. He had been planning to move down for months.

                    I thought the forbes fight was a tuneup for floyd. It wasnt until floyd retired and margarito beat cotto that pacquiao even came into the picture for oscar.

                      so why not pick a fight with the LW midget?
