Mayweather vs. Maidana Weigh-In: Date, Start Time and Live Stream for Event

Neither Floyd Mayweather Jr. nor Marcos Rene Maidana are expected to have any problems making the 147-pound weight limit for their world-title bout coming up on Saturday.

The two men will officially weigh in on Friday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The pre-fight event will take place at 6 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast by Showtime Sports' YouTube channel.

Any Mayweather bout is a major event, but the weigh-ins have become a spectacle as well. The rapper 2 Chainz is scheduled to perform at the event, per his Twitter account:

Though it would be a shock if either man failed to make weight, size and frames have still be a topic of discussion leading into the fight.

Mayweather talked about Maidana's struggles to stop Adrien Broner—who was essentially a "blown-up lightweight."

Mayweather told Lem Satterfield of The Ring Magazine:

"

Adrien Broner was a lightweight or a junior lightweight that moved all the way up to welterweight. Maidana didn't knock Adrien Broner out. Now we're going to look at this and you're going to tell me this is a blown-up lightweight that you couldn't knock out?

You knocked him down but you couldn't finish the job. So I just look at weight different scenarios and weigh things out. We'll see what he brings to the table on Saturday night…in my case, I don't think it's about the weight. It's mental. It's about the mental weight

"

To borrow the title from an old Killah Priest LP, Mayweather has proved to have a Heavy Mental.

That's one of the biggest differences between he and Broner. Paul Magno of Yahoo Sports wrote:

"

While Mayweather has spent years developing his genius-level ring IQ, fine-tuning his defense and counter-punching technique into a nearly-unbeatable combination, Broner was busy perfecting the image-associated details of Mayweather's rise to fame.

"

In over 30 years of watching boxing, I've never seen a fighter adjust mid-fight the way Mayweather can.

As much as Money's physical skills play a role in his effectiveness, his in-ring I.Q. is a major factor as well.

Maidana will be trying to triumph over the mental and physical on Saturday night.

Follow me. I'm addicted to the sweet science.
