Pacquiao vs Algieri weigh-ins: Algieri makes weight on second attempt

Chris Algieri had no problem making weight for the Manny Pacquiao bout after missing on his first attempt.

Chris Algieri weighed in at 144.4 for his bout with Manny Pacquiao (Saturday night, 10 p.m. ET on HBO pay-per-view). Given that the bout was at a contracted catchweight of 144 pounds, instead of the welterweight limit of 147, Algieri had missed weight

Following Pacquiao making weight, Algieri stepped back on the scales, stripped naked and now was at 144.2, still over the limit.

It was announced that he had two hours to cut the final two tenths of a pound, something that he was able to do quite easily.

SB Nation's Anton Tabuena is on the scene in Macau and gave the update:

Algieri made weight on his second attempt. 143.6 lbs. Trainer said he didn't need to exercise to drop the extra weight. #PacAlgieri

That means that the bout will go ahead as planned with all titles on the line and no fines of any sort.
