(CNN Philippines) — Eight-division world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao and the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. had no difficulty making the 147 pound welterweight limit for their megabout touted as the Fight of the Century.
Pacquiao was on the scales first and came in at 145 pounds looking ripped as usual. Mayweather went next and tipped at 146 pounds.
After the weigh-in, the two boxers had the traditional staredown. Pacquiao was heard thanking Mayweather.
“I don’t know what he said exactly but my focus is just on the fight tomorrow,” Mayweather said.
The Filipino fighter later confirmed that he in fact expressed gratitude to his opponent for making the fight happen for the fans.
“Whether you’re a fan of Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao — you deserve a good fight tomorrow,” Pacquiao said.
Boxing fans trooped to the MGM Grand to witness the weigh-in at a price of $10, with the proceeds going to the chosen charities of Mayweather and Pacquiao.
The Filipino boxing ring icon has weighed in under the welterweight limit for each of his last six fights. He weighed 142 pounds — his lowest reading ever — on his third fight against Juan Manuel Marquez back in 2011.
