During the official weigh-in for their 142 lb bout, Mayweather failed to meet the weight limit at 146 lb and was fined as a result. However, it was later revealed that the contract was changed so that Mayweather could make weight within the welterweight limit of 140-147 lb as long as Marquez received a large guarantee.

Marquez landed 12 percent of his total 583 punches, while Mayweather landed 59 percent of his 490 total punches.
