Comments Thread For: Weights From Macau: Pacquiao 143.8, Algieri 144.4

[Chris Bauermeis]

The ironic thing is that English is Pacquiao's second language and he can read better in English than Mayweathercan

Here's Mayweather reading:





(Yes, it's blank because he can't read.)

You're a trick if you actually believe Mayweather can't read.

If he were that dumb he'd still be with Bob Arum.

I agree man, I'm actually just wondering who benefits from the cw. I'm sure Chris would have fought at the ww limit for such a prize. I'm actually puzzled by it.

It benefits Pacquaio. They knew coming into the fight, Algieri walks around above 160 lbs. Making 144 lbs takes more effort than making 147 lbs.

It benefits them both.

Pac is looking to move down 140 and seeing how well his body adjusts after a long time campaigning at 147.
Chris a 140 champion who is 5'11 and will be looking to be moving upto 147 in the future.

Chris not making weight has nothing to do with Manny. Thats all on him.

I won't be paying for this matchup but, nevertheless, how can you not be excited about the return of Manny Pacquiao? Curious to see how he looks tonight and a part of me wants to see Manny knock that smirk of Algieri's grill.

It actually is a fair catchweight, you can't say it benefits Pac. Pac was fighting at 147 going down and Chris was at 140 and given 4 pounds, so its a true middle ground.

Chris is going up he said he was going to stay at 140 but now it shows he can no longer make 140, so the catchweight was a blessing in disguise he will win the wbo welterweight belt today and defend it and MAnny can fight for his vacant wbo belt at 140 after tonight.
