MAKING THE LIMIT IS NO WEIGHTY PROBLEM FOR PACQUIAO AND MARQUEZ (WITH PHOTOS)

Las Vegas, Nevada -- Today, at the Mandalay Bay Resort Casino, the site for tomorrow’s blockbuster fight, the official weigh-in for all the boxers involved in the card was held free for the public to witness.

The headliners for the said fight card, WBC Super featherweight champion, Juan Manuel Marquez and challenger, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao easily made weight.

Marquez tipped the scales at 130 pounds while Pacquiao was a sizzling 129 pounder.

The other fighters on the card made weight as well except for Diosdado Gabi. Gabi, in spite of being stripped bare, was still 119.5 lbs. He was given an hour to come back and try again.
