Handled by the NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission), the thirty-day pre-fight Pacquiao vs Marquez weigh in is administered by a doctor or representative of the commission, to determine if the boxers are fit for their upcoming fight.
To ensure both boxers are comfortable at lowering their weights four weeks before the fight, the pre-fight weigh-in limit of 159 lbs will be checked. This is 15-pound above the agreed maximum weight limit on the final weigh-in at 144 lbs.
Even though Pacquiao will defend his WBO (World Boxing Organization) Welterweight Belt (147 lbs), the same belt he got from Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico in 2009, Manny and Juan Manuel's camp both agreed to fight at a "catch-weight" of 144 lbs.
A day before the fight, the final Pacquiao vs Marquez weigh in will happen. This weigh-in, unlike the 30-day pre-fight weigh-in, will be open to the public.
Before Pacman and Dinamita tip in the scales at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, their undercard will be the first to energize the fans through scuffles and shoving. There will be one announcer in favor of Pacquiao and another one, who knows Spanish, will be in favor of Marquez. Michael Buffer, the official ring announcer of HBO's big fights, will be the main announcer of the event.
