"Floyd Mayweather is down to within three-and-a-half pounds of the welterweight limit with more than three weeks still to go before he meets Manny Pacquiao in the Fight of the Century.
Mayweather was photographed taking the scales for the WBC’s mandatory weight check 30 days before a world title fight.
The boxers are required to weigh no more than 10 per cent in excess of the 147 lb welter limit."

I say Pac smokes him early. Real early like Round 2. I say Floyd overtrains for this fight, thinking he is aging, and a quarter-step slow, he will overwork himself and he hits 147 by the end of this week. Too early, peaks too early in his zeal. Pac will be younger and fresher. Floyd needs some pop in this fight and shouldnt swim too much. Swimming builds long smooth muscle but the explosiveness will be lacking. Underwater sports could increase oxygen absorption and burn extra calories, he will come in aquatically and drained. Stamina problem for floyd in this fight. Would be great to see some Pac training photos and if he is still hav9ng calf cramps.

I told you the rubbish that Floyd lives at 147lb is rubbish he makes the weight for the fights and nourishes himself up like everyone else.

Floyd couldn't make 144, no way he 'lives' at 147, even if he is a smallish welterweight.

Could the fight be scuppered at the last minute ?

"Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has rubbished suggestions Floyd Mayweather Jr v Manny Pacquiao is in jeopardy.
Fraught negotiations have been a constant subplot in the making of Mayweather v Pacquiao over the years. Another possible hitch was put forward by the Filipino's promoter, Bob Arum, who told Yahoo Sport on 8 April that the lack of a signed contract between MGM Resorts – the venue – and the respective promoters had left what will be the richest fight in boxing history in doubt.
"I don't know anymore," Arum said on the possibility of the showdown not going ahead. "I've never been in this area before."
But Ellerbe has since told Yahoo Sports: "The notion the fight is in jeopardy is ridiculous."

What's the name of that song? "I know you're lying, cause your lips are moving"

I'm not sure if top rank signs the contract as the customer on this one. As I recall it was Mayweather promotions that had the top billing. Perhaps, they left Bob out of the loop? Anyway isn't part of his jobs as a promoter to create controversy which promotes the fight?

Yea ok, Doesn't make any sense, if there wasn't a contract then why would the post the event? Fightweek at MGM Grand Las Vegas

Room rates are as low as $225.00, if you have a Military ID. I can see some people printing their own because without one, the rate is up to $1838.
