There was doubt looming in the air if the fight would be on, rumors swirling around that the financial investors didn’t have the money and it would be canceled, but Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao the two lead promoters of the fight assured fans it was indeed good to go.

The ceremonial weigh-in was filled with a mostly Filipino crowd and legendary announcer Michael Buffer was in attendance to announce the official weights.

After the undercard fighters weighed-in, the main event fighters went on stage and were cheered loudly by the crowd.

The challenger Pacquiao stepped on the scale at a lean 146 pounds, while the Argentinean champion came in a shade higher at 146.7 pounds.
