MACAU — Filipino boxing superstar Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao weighed in at 143.8 lbs while American challenger Chris Algieri came in at 143.6 lbs during the official weighin early Saturday morning here at CotaiArena at The Venetian Hotel & Casino.
Algieri weighed in at 144.2 lbs., 0.2 lbs over the weight limit on his first try. He went out of the arena to sweat out the fraction of a pound weight excess and came to make the final weight of 143.6 lbs.
Pacquiao and Algieri will fight for Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight title Sunday morning (Saturday night in the US) at the CotaiArena.
The weighin was supervised by WBO president Francisco ‘Paco’ Valcarcel.
