Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao at 154 pounds in the Pacquiao vs Mayweather mega boxing fight?

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao has currently signed the deal to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13, 2010. Though the deal is already closed, the full contract terms has not revealed yet and that includes the weight class Pacquiao and Mayweather to fight to. Pacquiao fought Miguel Cotto at 145 pounds, where he won via referee stoppage in round 12 while Mayweather fought Juan Manuel Marquez  at 144 pounds.

However, in this upcoming mega fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather, according to Freddie Roach, who spoke with Sky Sports, Mayweather is looking for 10oz gloves and a fight weight of 154-pound. Roach says that the weight and gloves issue will still be on the process of talk, however, their camp wants 8oz gloves and a weight limit of 147.

"There's always negotiations, like he [Mayweather] wants 10oz gloves we want 8oz gloves, stuff like that, the weight he wants is 154lb, we want 147, so there's some issues but I think it can be solved. It's a tough fight because his style does give us difficulties, and we need to draft a plan for a new strategy. Yes, it's a tough fight but it's a fight Manny wants." Roach told Sky Sports News.
