LAS VEGAS, NEVADA--Just seconds ago, Manny Pacquiao came in at 128.5 lbs, while Erik Morales checked in at an exact 130 lbs during the official weigh-in held at the Margaux Ballroom of the Wynn Hotel here.
WBC heavyweight champ Hasim Rahman and NSAC's Marc Ratner supervised the event.
Some 1,000 fans, made up of Filipinos and Mexicans, came to watch the two warriors make the limit.
Prior to the official weigh-in, a commotion happened right outside the Margaux Ballroom as fans started taunting each other, while at the same time trying to jostle for entry at the venue.
Sibulan, Negros' Jimrex Jaca, the only Filipino seeing action in the undercard, came in at 129 lbs, while opponent Geronimo Hernandez tipped the scales at 131 lbs.
In attendance were Top Rank's Bob Arum, Cebuano promoter Rex "Wakee" Salud, Pacquiao promoter Gary Shaw and Morales' promoter Fernando Beltran.
