Mayweather vs. Pacquiao weigh-in results
Mayweather and PacMan weighed in at 146 and 145 pounds, respectively.
Well, one of the final formalities has been cleared and we’re officially ready to see Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao face off on Saturday, as the two took to the scales for Friday’s weigh-in without incident.
Mayweather weighed in at 146 pounds. Pacquiao tipped the scales at 145 pounds.
Mayweather (47-0, 26 KO) and Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KO) are set to fight at the standard welterweight limit of 147 pounds, with Mayweather’s WBC and WBA and Pacquiao’s WBO titles all on the line. They’re also battling for what is considered the lineal championship of the division, currently held by Mayweather. Pacquiao has been considered the true No. 1 contender for that title for years at this point.
The weigh-in was the final hurdle that needed to be cleared for this fight, which many thought would never come, to actually happen. Sure, given the guys we’re talking about, any number of things can go catastrophically wrong between Friday and Saturday night, but smart money is on the two settling the No. 1 debate as scheduled.
Mayweather-Pacquiao could begin as early as 11 p.m. ET, though there is precedence for fights being delayed by basketball, and Game 7 of the Clippers-Spurs game could interfere if it goes to overtime.
