Champion Juan Manuel Marquez weighed in at 130 pounds, the super featherweight limit, on Friday afternoon for Saturday night's world title fight against Manny Pacquiao at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

Pacquiao, the challenger, weighed in at 129 pounds.

Marquez's WBC super featherweight belt is at stake in the pay-per-view bout, a rematch of the fighters' 12-round draw in 2004 at the MGM Grand.
