Today at 5:45pm EST, the fighters hit the scales in Texas for tomorrow night's big event at Cowboys Stadium. Main eventers Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito are fighting at a 150-pound catchweight, and it'll be interesting to find out if Pacquiao comes in any heavier than he ever has before. His highest weigh-in ever was for his last fight against Joshua Clottey, when he came in at 145¾ pounds in the 147-pound fight. As for Margarito, those around his camp have said he's looked ripped and as if he didn't have a pound to lose when he was around 154 during training, and there has been some talk that even 150 might be tough to hit for the former welterweight titlist.
The undercard, both on TV and off, features Brandon Rios, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Ricardo Cordoba, Omri Lowther, Mike Jones, Jesus Soto Karass, Mike Lee, Jose Benvadiez and many others.
Top Rank will have coverage with their Top Rank LiveStream at 5:45, while ESPN will also have coverage starting at 6. We'll have live updates of the weights here on Bad Left Hook, in the comments of this post, and a full round-up after.

It befuddles me that a cartoon character like Sulaiman is taken so seriously. It’s unreal.

Not sure, he might still have to drop the pound, or they might just ignore it since that sort of thing happens a lot.

Couple of minutes from the main eventers getting up there. Interested to hear crowd reaction since Rios met boos.

I have no idea. Not to sound insensitive or anything, but Ines Sainz is really hard to understand, and I’m pretty good at understanding thick accents in English.

She doesn't have to "sound" good
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
Huh
Having read this and Taco Pal’s post re her accent, I sought out the videos of her talking, and although I speak no Spanish and don’t generally consider myself better than ordinary at understanding accents, I have no difficulty understanding her—it is true that I’ve spent a lot of time around people with specifically Spanish accents and that may be why. Still, if it’s a problem for you guys, it will be a problem for others, tho I think just a few hours with a speech coach would clear up the difficulty.

ah, weigh-ins
The time when no matter what, I buy into the fight and get excited.
Big “Margarito” chant goes up from the supporters.

150 is the limit, not 151 as I thought before. 151 was passed around at first.

Mixed reaction for Manny too. Boy, tomorrow’s atmosphere could be nasty. “Manny” chant goes up HARD.

Pacquiao at 144.6
Good weight for him, I think.

Honor me. Stop advertising your intentions.
Or if not honor me, do me the favor. You don’t have to honor me. That’s kinda dumb. I’m sorry I even said that part.

For instance, tomorrow, because the fight isn’t aired in the US, I’ll be Old Dan Tuckering the Haye-Harrison fight.
