On May 2, 2009, it was confirmed that Mayweather was coming out of a 21 month retirement to fight The Ring lightweight champion and #2 pound 4 pound Juan Manuel Marquez, at a catch weight of 144 lb on July 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas The fight was postponed due to a rib injury Mayweather received during training. HBO's sports series 24/7 was also rescheduled for August 29. The fight took place on September 19 in conjunction with Mexican Independence Day, traditionally a big boxing weekend. 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. Mayweather won a unanimous decision after 12 rounds in a lopsided fight; scorecards read 120-107, 119-108 and 118-109. Marquez landed 12 percent of his total 583 punches, while Mayweather landed 59 percent of his 490 total punches.
