Weights In: Miguel Cotto at 145, Manny Pacquiao at 144

The 145-pound weight limit doesn’t seem to have affected either Miguel Cotto or Manny Pacquiao for tomorrow night’s mega fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Cotto came in at 145 on the nose, and Pacquiao weighed in one pound under the limit at 144. It’s interesting from one angle, which is that Manny Pacquiao [...]

John Whisler: Pacquiao-Mayweather must be made

22 November 2009

Someone’s going to have to get awfully stupid for this fight not to happen.
