It's time to hit the scales, and we hope you'll join us for our live coverage of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios weigh-in from the Venetian Resort in Macau, China.
Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO) will be seeking to resurrect a career that once brought him to the top of the pound-for-pound rankings in the sport. He's suffered consecutive defeats—controversially to Timothy Bradley and decisively to Juan Manuel Marquez—and can ill-afford another loss.
Rios (31-1-1, 23 KO) is facing the biggest challenge of his professional career. He's just emerging from an exciting but taxing two-fight series with Mike Alvarado, and he'll need to turn in the performance of his career in order to score the upset.
The 12-round contest on Saturday night will not be for a championship, but it will be contested in the welterweight division, and both fighters will need to tip the scales at no more than 147 pounds.
Stay tuned to find out if there will be any drama before the fighters step in the ring. Our live coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET!
