Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 28 KOs) weighed in at 144.6, 9.4lbs under the division limit, for Saturday’s highly anticipated PPV showdown against Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs), who scaled in at 150, which was the contract weight for the bout. Pacman will be going for a world title in a record eighth different weight division with the vacant WBC super welterweight title on the line.

So how the hell is this a light middleweight fight if Pacquiao isnt even a full blown welterweight? So if for example, Bernard Hopkins wanted to challenge David Haye for the Wba heavyweight title, could he weigh in a 180lbs - and if he won, would he be considered a heavyweight champ. To me , Pacman should be obligated to weigh in , at the light middle weight boundaries
