    Pacquiao weirded by weigh-in difference


    12/06/2008 | 05:34 PM
    MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao was sure he was at 146 pounds for the final weigh-in.

    So it surprised him to see he came out four pounds lighter.

    Pacquiao tipped the scales at 142 pounds, way off the weight he and his team were expecting.

    "Yes, a little bit of a surprise. Seems the scale got calibrated," Freddie Roach told Manila-based journalists inside the press room on Friday after the weigh-in.

    Shortly after the weigh-in, Pacquiao went back to his room and used a different scale. He came in at 145.5 pounds, the same weight he had in the morning after breakfast, according to Roach.

    Pacquiao was amazed at the difference, disclosing the night before and just an hour before the official weigh-in that he both checked in at 146 pounds.

    "I didn't do anything to reduce weight, so I don't know why I came in at 142?" Pacquiao said. "It's hard to be suspicious but as you can see, there's a difference between how I weighed out there and here."

    Pacquiao said if there was a four-pound difference between his two "weigh-ins", it could be the same for de la Hoya. "So does that mean Oscar was at 149 pounds?"

    A clause in the contracts signed by both Pacquiao and de la Hoya will have de la Hoya paying a $3-million penalty for every excess pound over 147 pounds.

    Pacquiao said he didn't want to make a big deal out of the situation. "I don't want to make that an excuse for whatever happens."

    Roach agreed.

    "Maybe the scale … I'm not sure. But I'm not accusing anything (sic)," said Roach, who incidentally, also got a positive response from the Nevada State Athletic Commission later in the day, allowing the use of one-inch tape for the boxer's hands instead of two inches.

    "But it really doesn't matter to me," he added. "The fight's on. The fight's here."

    Incredibly interesting!!! Could they turn the scales over and see "Made and Calibrated by Golden Boy Promotions" If they were 4 lbs out of what Pac's team expected, that would put the Golden Boy over the weight limit.... Suspicious things are afoot..

    And a good attitude by Pac and Roach.. Personally i'd be immediately ordering a new set of scales to be used immediately after the weigh in.. A fighter to weigh themselves consistently, even the same day, to be 146 and then come in "officially" at 142 is just ridiculous..

    Personally, if I was ODLH and knew I was going to be out of pocket $6million for being 2 pounds over the limit, i'd be slipping an official a cool million to make sure the scales had him under..

    Anyway, regardless i'm still into this fight, and the weigh in been and gone now so nothing can be done about that discrepency, but it's strange...... I was truely surprised from the start even seeing that Pac had weighed in at 142.. He's obviously going to need all the weight he can get and as we find out now, Roach was keeping him at 146 which is exactly what he'd want to do...

    Hopefully Pac slaughters him none the less...

    If that's the case, Pac and Roach should be screaming about it.

    If I'm a Pac-fan, that quote of his worries me, "I don't want to make that an excuse for whatever happens." Sounds like he's not all the optimistic or that he's resigned to his fate. I'd of much rather see him say something along the lines of "It doesn't matter if he weighs 150, I'm still kicking his ass..." Maybe I'm reading too much into it though.

    Well its possible that not only 6 million will go away but the whole fight being cancelled, since oscar is atleast 5 pounds over. Did you think of that?

    Pac is an honest person, im sure even you would think so. His NO FEAR mentallity wont let this fight be cancelled though. Like they said, the fight is here. No matter what oscar is the bigger man so why risk the fight getting cancelled.
