MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao tipped the scales much lower than expected, coming in at 142lbs during the official weigh-in on Saturday (Friday, US time) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Oscar de la Hoya was also well within the welterweight (147lb) limit after he registered at 145lbs.
Pacquiao might enter the ring not weighing heavier than 150lbs, as advised by trainer Freddie Roach. Being bigger than that, Roach said, would take away Pacquiao's most important weapon - his speed.
Some 7,000 fans attended the official weigh-in, Philboxing.com reported. - GMANews.TV
