Intro:

The weigh ins for Sunday's (23rd November) Clash in Cotai II featuring fights including Manny Pacquiao and Zou Shiming were held on Saturday (22nd November) at the Venetian Macau in China.

Script:

For a man who still lives in his parents basement, a $1.5 million dollar earning in a night is quite something,

Chris Algieri weighed in for his fight with Manny Pacquiao on Saturday morning on the island of Macau.

There was no problem for Pacquiao on the scales as the Filipino weighed in at 143.8 pounds, 0.2 less than the catch weight.

Pacquiao is looking to defend his WBO welterweight title with a win record of 56 wins to 2 losses.

The Pac Man is set to earn $20 million US dollars from the fight, losing little of that in tax on the tax haven of Macau.

While there was a worrying wait on the scales for the unbeaten Algieri. He took to the scales twice and recorded 144.4, yet he did the trick without his clothes.

Algieri was almost unknown prior to his move from kick boxing six years ago, yet a win here over Pacquiao would truly put his name on the boxing map.
