Pacquiao not concerned about size disadvantage vs. Margarito

ARLINGTON, Texas — By the time they step into the ring Saturday night for their super welterweight title showdown at Cowboys Stadium, Antonio Margarito could outweigh Manny Pacquiao by as much as 15-to-20 pounds.

At Friday's weigh-in, Margarito tipped the scales at 150 pounds, which is the catch weight the fighters agreed to. Pacquiao came in at 144.6 pounds, well under the limit, which caused a buzz among the news media covering the fight because of how low his weight was.

Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) is expected to re-hydrate to about 162-165 pounds by the start of the fight, which will be televised on HBO pay-per-view starting at 9 p.m. ET. Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) doesn't figure to come in at more than 147 pounds.
