Mayweather 146, Marquez 142

LAS VEGAS - The long-awaited weighin for Mayweather-Marquez showdown finally took place at 3:15 p.m. Pacific Time at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena, the site for Saturday's 12-round welterweight fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. weighed in at 146 pounds, his usual weight for the welterweight limit.

Juan Manuel Marquez tipped the 142 pounds, just two pounds over the junior welterweight limit.

Since the fight was made in May of this year, there has been speculation as to how much the fighters were contracted to weighin.

The Mayweather camp maintained that it was a welterweight bout with the usual 147-pound limit, while Golden Boy Promotions, the promoter for Saturday's fight, claimed that the fighters agreed to a 144-pound catchweight.

Obviously, Team Mayweather was right. It is not known if the Mayweather side agreed to pay Team Marquez any bonus/penalty money for every pound that Mayweather came in over 144 pounds. According to Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission there is no such agreement.
