Las Vegas, NV - Fans started lining up at the "Oasis of Boxing", The MGM Grand Garden Arena four hours before the scheduled weigh-in for tomorrow's big fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley.
The predominantly Pacquiao crowd with their posters, signs and flags filled the arena with applause, cheers and chants of "Manny, Manny". The Filipino icon and his counterpart stepped at the official weighing scale to determine both fighter's weight and both weighed in at or below the official welterweight limit of 147 lbs.
Pacquiao came in at 147 lbs which is the welterweight limit for this championship bout while unbeaten Timothy Bradley clocked in a pound less at 146 lbs.
Both fighters faced off after their stint at the scales with Bradley looking serious and in mean while Pacquiao was just smiling throughout the process.
"I am smiling because I am happy. God is with me." said Pacquiao.
When Max Kellerman asked him how he will beat Bradley, Pacquiao just replied "I will show you tomorrow."
"I am ready for war," Bradley declared. "Bring it on. The more the merrier," was his reply to Kellerman's query if Pacquiao's popularity and legion of supporters will be a problem for him.
"Look at my physique. I trained extremely hard for the fight and they will see it tomorrow."
These are the rest of the fighters who are scheduled to fight at tomorrow's undercards and their respective weights.
