According to TNT the costume weighed in at a whopping 90 pounds. This answer was given in a trivia break during TNT's presentation of the Wizard of Oz.

It was made from two real lionskins. Bert Lahr [August 13, 1895-December 4, 1967], who played the Cowardly Lion, described the costume as hot and uncomfortably like "working inside a mattress." So whenever Lahr was in a scene, he had to have the lights off, and the soundstage doors opened every 30 minutes, for fresh air. Otherwise, he would have suffocated.

Twenty-four hundred dollars ($2,400) is the amount paid to MGM Studios for the lion suit from "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the Cowardly Lion's suit was one of the items sold at an auction of possessions of the MGM Studios in 1969. Another item was a pair of Dorothy Gale's ruby red slippers, for $15,000. Thirty-eight (38) acres of MGM property went to residential developers. The MGM sets were razed.
