Mayweather-Marquez: Weigh-In Today at 5:30 PM ET

(Photo by Will Hart, www.hbo.com(

HBO.com will offer live coverage of the Mayweather-Marquez weigh-in in Las Vegas today at 5:30 PM ET, and Bad Left Hook will be watching to get those weights up immediately following both fighters' trips to the scale. So if you're at work at that time or anything else that prevents you from watching, we're on it for you.

ESPN.com is also offering live coverage of the weigh-in, so if the HBO stream winds up being weird (which has been my experience at times in the past), you've got an alternative.

Note: The weights will be posted here immediately as they happen in the comments of this post, and after everything is in, a new story will go up on the front page.

Either of the two having trouble making the weight?

No one has said anything at all, so I don’t believe so. Marquez should be having zero problems and Floyd’s a fitness freak so I expect nothing out of the ordinary.

Only reason I asked was because it’s 9 pounds north of anything Marquez has made and Floyd hasn’t been this low in weight for a few years.

I’m guessing Marquez might come in in the low 140s, or even as low as 139. Bulked up, yes, but then again 135 can be counted as “bulked up” for him. If he gets all the way to 144 I’ll be mildly surprised. Floyd I expect to have zero issue with the weight. It wouldn’t surprise me if Mayweather could still make 140 comfortably.

True. Mayweather is a freak. It’s rare to see a guy with his amazing skill and an amazing work ethic to go with it.

Dare I say, Floyd is one of a kind. In more ways than one. It’s a shame people will get blinded by his persona and that will keep him from getting the recognition as one of the greatest fighters of all-time. Definitely one of the ten greatest to ever lace them up and I’d even put him in the top five considering I’ve gotten to see extensive footage of him. At the peak of his success, no one could come close to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing ring. The closest was Oscar and that decision should not have been that close.

The closest was Jose Luis Castillo. There are a lot of people that still think Castillo beat Floyd.

Sheridan just said Marquez gave up his WBO lightweight title. He has not. The Katsidis-Escobedo fight is for the interim strap, and the winner would be Marquez’s mandatory, unless Marquez wins tomorrow, in which case the WBO has said they’d allow JMM to take another big optional fight.

They had to have agreed before they came out to a new weight right?

I mean, is that why there was such an awful dragging out of the weigh-in?

Marquez looks great

Yeah it’s 142 but he looks ripped and he normally is around that on fight night anyway.

I think Floyd was having trouble so they just agreed to the 147 limit. Might as well. Floyd is never over 149 on fight night so it should be a problem

by gunranger on Sep 18, 2009 6:29 PM EDT reply actions  

^* shouldn’t

And the reason they were stalling so much was because they were waiting for Sportscenter

I read that Floyd had a shocked look on his face

I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd has to pay Marquez for coming in over weight.

ESPN News is reporting the contract was 144 and Mayweather’s contract was not filed. They renegotiated last night for 147 and JMM agreed but for money for each pound over the 144 limit. So it’s all good

by gunranger on Sep 18, 2009 6:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dan Rafael with an interesting perspective on this right now on ESPNEWS.

Mayweather renegotiated last night to have it at 147 after Marquez filed at 144.

Mayweather has to pay Marquez for each pound over 144. It’s an undisclosed amount.
