Manny Pacquiao came in at 138 pounds and Ricky Hatton made the junior welterweight limit of 140 on the nose for tomorrow night's bout. The weigh-in took place in front of about 4,500 screaming fans in Las Vegas.
The atmosphere tomorrow is going to be crazy.
Oscar de la Hoya had this to say:
"When you have the Brits come over for Hatton, this is by far the biggest and best crowd I've ever seen," promoter Oscar de la Hoya said of the turnout. "I'm glad I retired so I can go have a pint."
Afterward, Oscar was heard to ask, "Anyone here from THE PHILIPPINES?!" He also shouted, "Hello, Las Vegas!"
Humberto Soto (130) and Benoit Gaudet (129) were both on weight for the main undercard bout.

im really excited for this fight..
hopefully i get to watch it live instead of of watching it in the stupid delayed telecast with super long tv ads, only to get spoiled after..
plus, the filipino broadcasters in the delayed telecast sucks..

Nice of Oscar to get in the Brit mood and call it a “pint.” Or am I the only one that never calls it that?
Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.

Not many americans call it a pint to be fair, but also not many american bars serve 568 ml, the glasses over there definitely seem smaller. (And don’t start me on the beer – except ying ling. That stuffs half decent :))
