Las Vegas, Nevada ? Right on the mark.
In the privacy of a hot and humid state-of-the-art gym in the middle of this desert city, consensus featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao tipped the scale at 126 pounds Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), making the official weight three days ahead of the scheduled weigh-in Friday.
That elicited pockets of applause from some members of Team Pacquiao and the power-hitting Filipino ring idol engaged them to a happy banter showing a high level of confidence for his Saturday duel (Sunday in Manila) with Mexican champ Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Arena.
