LAS VEGAS -- Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao came to the scale inside the Encore Theater at The Wynn resort on Friday and drank in the cheers of Manny! Manny! from his fans as he easily made weight.Pacquiao weighed 144.8 pounds, well inside the 147-pound limit for his fight against welterweight world titleholder Jessie Vargas, whom he faces on Saturday (Top Rank PPV, 9 p.m. ET) at the Thomas & Mack Center.Vargas also made weight for his first title defense, weighing 146.5 pounds. After they weighed in, Pacquiao and Vargas, who have shown the utmost respect toward each other during the build-up to the fight, stood side by side for interviews with various outlets.Pacquiao will be fighting for the first time since his resounding decision win against rival Timothy Bradley Jr. in their third fight in April followed by a brief retirement, during which he was elected to the Senate in his native Philippines.Im happy to be back, Pacquiao, boxings only eight-division world titleholder, told the crowd. I want to put on a good show and have another boxing record.Pacquiao, 37, already the first congressman to win a world title, is aiming to be the first senator to win one, also. Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 KOs) said he is also motivated to win back the world title he lost to Floyd Mayweather last year in boxings richest fight. Vargas won the vacant title in March with a ninth-round knockout of then-undefeated former U.S. Olympian Sadam Ali.Its motivating because I am the challenger this time and I am fighting a champion, Pacquiao said. [Winning the belt back] would mean a lot and would bring honor to my country.Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs), 27, of Las Vegas, has been supremely confident all week and had a big smile as he walked to the scale. It remained in place when he spoke to the crowd after making weight.I feel great and Im here to give the fans a great fight and come out on top and prove Im the best in the welterweight division, Vargas said. Weve worked hard for this and I have no doubt about the outcome. Manny Pacquiao has had a great career and it would mean the world to beat him, and that is what I am ready to do. I want to become a legend.There are three other world title fights on the card, and everybody made weight. Featherweight titleholder Oscar Valdez (20-0, 18 KOs) who will be making his first defense, weighed 125.25 as did challenger Hiroshige Osawa (30-3-4, 19 KOs) for their 126-pound fight. Junior featherweight titleholder Nonito Donaire (37-3, 24 KOs), who will be making his second defense, weighed 121.8 pounds and mandatory challenger Jessie Magdaleno (23-0, 17 KOs) was 121.25 for their 122-pound bout.Zou Shiming (8-1, 2 KOs), the two-time Chinese Olympic gold medalist, will face Prasitsak Papoem (39-1-2, 24 KOs) for one of the flyweight world titles recently vacated by Juan Francisco Estrada. Zou was 111 pounds and Papoem was 111.5 for the bout with a 112-pound limit. The fight is a rematch of Zous one-sided unanimous decision win in November 2014.Also, the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the purses for the card. Pacquiao will earn no less than $4 million but could earn much more since he is on a percentage split with promoter Top Rank. Vargas will earn a career-high $2.8 million.Valdezs purse is $200,000, Osawa will earn $50,000, Donaire will make $400,000 and Magdaleno $90,000. The official purse for Zou and Papoem is $5,000 apiece, but each will make much more from revenue in Asia, especially Zou, who likely will make in the high six figures.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Playing inside or outside, Moe Wagner doesnt have a preference. Just being on the floor for extended minutes is a priority right now for the 6-foot-11 Michigan sophomore from Berlin, Germany.Wagner played a season-high 25 minutes and responded with a career-high 20 points, leading four Wolverines in double figures during an 82-55 win over Kennesaw State on Saturday.Prone to foul trouble and defensive lapses for much of his college career, Wagner was able to show off both his 3-point range and post moves against an undersized Kennesaw State (3-6) team. He made 7 of 8 shots from the floor, including 3 of 4 3-pointers.Im just happy my teammates trust me with both aspects (inside and outside), so Im just going to keep working on both of them, said Wagner, who is shooting 17 of 22 (.772) over the past three games.Zak Irvin scored 19 points, D.J. Wilson added 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Derrick Walton Jr. finished with 13 points and eight assists for the Wolverines (6-2).Like Wagner, Wilson has had his own battles with foul trouble. He was limited to two points in 11 minutes before fouling out in the Wolverines last game, a 73-70 loss to Virginia Tech. He and Wagner played together for extended stretches Saturday, giving Michigan a pair of players over 6-foot-10.We havent got the opportunity to play together a lot, but when we do I think it opens up a lot on things on the court, both offensively and defensively, said Wilson, who also made a 3-pointer along with being on the receiving end of two alley-oop passes from Walton. Were both versatile and both skilled.Although Wilson said part of his plan to stay on the floor longer was to take my foot off the gas peddle when going after offensive rebounds. He was still able to post the second double-double of his career.Were going to play a lot better teams than Kennesaw, but its good that (Wilsons) in there and and mixing it up, Michigan coach John Beilein said. Laast year, he spent a lot of time drifting around the 3-point line.ddddddddddddKennesaw State kept things interesting early when Kendrick Ray scored 10 of his game-high 24 points over a five-minute stretch of the first half to help the Owls erase Michigans early 10-2 advantage and take an 18-16 lead of its own.The Owls never led again, however, and Michigan was in control by halftime, when it used a 17-2 run to take a 47-29 lead into the locker room. The Wolverines biggest lead was 35 points midway through the second half.BIG PICTUREKennesaw State: Despite staying close early thanks to outside shooting, the Owls couldnt compete against the bigger Wolverines on the inside. Aubrey Williams, a 6-foot-7 forward who ranked fourth in the country with 12.8 rebounds per game, had just four against Michigans bigger post players.Michigan: Coming off a home loss to Virginia Tech, which Beilein blamed on a poor defensive performance, the Wolverines had a laundry list of things to improve on. Beilein noted that although Ray was able to knock down some shots, Walton and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman limited him to one assist and forced seven turnovers. The Wolverines also limited the Owls to three offensive rebounds, more than 10 shy of their season average.GOING FOR 80Michigan improved to 51-1 under 10th-year coach John Beilein when scoring 80 or more points.MILESTONE AWAITSSecond-year Kennesaw State coach Al Skinner missed in his first chance to pick up his 400th career victory. Instead, Belein won his 746th game, 488 coming at the Division I level.UP NEXT:Kennesaw State: The Owls have an 11-day break until playing Rider at the Gotham Classic at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 14.Michigan: The Wolverines host Texas at 9 p.m. Tuesday before heading on the road Saturday to face a No. 11 UCLA team just upset No. 1 Kentucky.
