Mayweather News - Mayweather revealed on Showtime's All-Access reality show Wednesday that his longtime live-in fiancee, Chantal Jackson, was pregnant with Mayweather's twins three months ago and is no longer pregnant. "Pressure. I love it. After the weigh-in, there was another controversy involving the gloves that Mayweather and Maidana will use for the fight. Mayweather's weigh-ins are more than a pre-fight requirement. More than 9,500 people -- hundreds were turned away -- packed the arena to watch Mayweather and his opponent, Maidana, along with their star-studded undercard, weigh in for Saturday's welterweight title unification bout (Showtime pay-per-view, 9 p.m. ET).
Maidana weighed in at 146.5 pounds, just under the welterweight limit of 147.
"I'm calm and relaxed and ready for the fight," Maidana said. Mayweather is 45-0 with 29 KOs, while Maidana is 35-3 with 31 KOs.
Former champions Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KOs) and Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KOs) are fighting on the main televised undercard, a 12-round welterweight bout for minor titles.
Golden Boy has said that the winner of the Khan-Collazo fight could get a shot against Mayweather in September.
