–MARQUEZ AGREES TO WEIGHT CHANGE VERSES MAYWEATHER–
The welterweight bout was expected to take place slightly below the 147-pound limit, but Mayweather came in at 146 pounds. Marquez, who has never fought at a weight this high before, was 142.

According to Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the bout was supposed to have a weight limit of 144. However, before Friday’s weigh-in, Mayweather’s camp asked Marquez if they could move it up to 147.
