Final result: 114-114, 115-113, 116-112 for the winner by majority decision, Manny Pacquiao. Sponsored Links

Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 PPV: Showtime or HBO?

Sponsored Links
Showtime and HBO bids will be coming soon to handle the Pacquiao vs Marquez trilogy fight on November 12, 2011 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. As we all know that Showtime handled the fight of Manny Pacquiao against Sugar Shane Mosley last May 7, 2011 which is a huge success where 1.3 million pay-per-views were sold. Its been a long time that Showtime has not promoted any major pay-per-view even before Bob Arum of Top Rank decided that Showtime will handle the PPV of the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight.

It has also been reported that Top Rank executives will meet tomorrow with Showtime for negotiations but it is also been expected that HBO will also give an offer. As everybody in the boxing knows that HBO has the money and can throw an offer that Top Rank cannot refuse. Sponsored Links

Pacquiao vs Marquez: Why Juan Manuel Marquez Can Win

Sponsored Links
The heat is on as days goes by where boxing enthusiasts are counting the days towards the November 12, 2011 Pacquiao vs Marquez fight. Everybody is giving their opinion whether who will dominate and win in this boxing match. Most are in favor of The Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao. Some believe that Juan Manuel Marquez will win this fight because of some interesting reasons.

As we all know, The Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao clash with opponents that are very aggressive and confidence and have size advantage and power like Oscar dela Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley and said that they will beat Manny Pacquiao but when they step into the ring, they where defeated. Some of them has been crashed to the ground. These opponents of Manny Pacquiao used their natural size advantages and power but still they where overwhelm by the Filipino champ and defeated.

Juan Manuel Marquez don’t have the size and power of those great warriors. But Marquez is known for his boxing intelligence, style and heart of a warrior. Marquez can adjust quickly in the middle of the fight and can plan quickly on how to neutralize his opponent. With these, Marquez has the chance to win the fight.

We all know that there is an age gap between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. The Filipino champ is much younger than the Mexican fighter where Pacquiao is 32 years old and Marquez’s age is 37. But Marquez is not concern about his age because it is only numbers. There are lots of boxing fighters that are old but still win the fight.

But still, the Pacquiao vs Marquez boxing match-up is anyones game on November 12, 2011 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Sponsored Links

Pacquiao vs. Marquez – The Trilogy

Sponsored Links
The fight that many people were clamoring for when Manny Pacquio squared off with “Sugar” Shane Mosley is finally going to take place. Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2-1, 38 KO’s) will be fighting Juan Manuel Marquez (52-5-1, 38 KO’s) on November 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. One of the worst kept secrets in boxing was that Top Rank was negotiating with Marquez even before Pacquiao’s May 7 bout with Mosley.

The questions and criticism of Pacquiao, however continues unabated. In some cases the criticism of Pacquiao is coming from the very people who were critical of him for taking on Mosley rather than Marquez. This will be the third fight between Pacquiao and Marquez, the first taking place in May of 2004, which was a draw. In the 2nd fight almost four years later in March 2008, Pacquiao edged Marquez by a split decision. There are many boxing fans who feel that Marquez won both of those encounters. In their first fight Pacquiao weighed 125 lbs while in the 2nd fight he came in at 130 lbs. Pacquiao, in addition to packing on some muscle has added significantly to his technique, working with his legendary trainer Freddie Roach. Earlier in Manny’s career he did not use his right hand effectively. That has all changed with his training and dedication to becoming the best fighter he can be. The punch that Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton with was a right hand. He is a much more explosive fighter since he included the right hand to his repertoire. As good as Marquez is, Pacquiao is not the same fighter he was in their previous matchups.
The beef with Pacquiao now is that there will be a catch weight with Marquez having to come up to 144 lbs for his fight with Pacquial to take place. This of course has Manny’s critics fuming who really don’t like him anyway and criticize him for everything he does. Let’s face it, “Pacman” has added a lot of muscle since he first fought Marquez at 125 lbs and then at 130 pounds. As champion Pacquiao has the advantage of being able to dictate some of the terms for the fight to take place. Critics of Manny point out that when Marquez has moved up in weight in past fights he was slow and did not appear to be as sharp as he is at lighter weights.

HBO commentator Larry Merchant was quoted as saying “I think Manny needs to fight good opponents to show himself at his best.” Merchant went on to say that winning lopsided decisions against opponents who are intimidated like Mosley was, will not interest the casual fan. Merchant added that he thinks Marquez will give Pacquiao a tough fight.

At this point Marquez is the fight that will sell. Boxing promoters exert tremendous influence over who fighters face. Even fighters who have the stature of Manny Pacquiao listen to who promotes their fights, especially when they will reportedly be walking away from the fight with twenty million dollars. Marquez will earn an estimated five million dollars. It is therefore understandable that “Pacman” and Roach listen to Bob Arum.

Again there are critics saying they will pay no attention to this fight. We have heard that before. Once Uncle Bob works his magic and does what he does best, including putting together the promotional tours and all the hype that goes with the promotion of a big fight, fans will undoubtedly come out again in droves to see this fight, or pay to see it on PPV.

Marquez will give it his all and in all probability make a good showing. He will not back pedal after being stung by Pacquiao. Most likely Pacquiao will put forth an impressive performance in an effort to make right what many boxing fans saw as a less than stellar performance against Mosley. Pacquiao should win this fight convincingly, once and for silencing Marquez.

Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 will take place at 145

Sponsored Links
MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will face Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez at a 145-pound catchweight if the proposed fight pushes through, Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, said.

Marquez, who already fought Pacquiao in two tight battles, reportedly asked the Filipino champion to go down to 143 pounds to make their third fight.

Koncz, however, said Pacquiao won’t fight Marquez at a weight any lower than 145 pounds.

"It's 145, and not 143. We've had general discussions with [Top Rank Promotions CEO] Bob Arum, but we haven't sat down, Manny and I, to make a decision," said Koncz in BoxingScene.com.

Pacquiao, who recently defended his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Shane Mosley, is currently fighting at 147 pounds.

Marquez, the reigning WBO and World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion, is seen by many fight experts as the next best opponent for Pacquiao in the absence of pound-for-pound great Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The Mexican first met Pacquiao in 2004 in a fight that ended in a controversial draw.

They fought again 4 years later, when Pacquiao eked out a split decision to take away Marquez’s WBC super featherweight title.

Arum is currently working to arrange a third fight between the two boxers.

Koncz said they will just wait for Arum to present options about the Marquez fight.

"I don't think that there is a rush to do it," said Koncz. "Let Manny get some rest and spend some time with his family after spending long, hard weeks in training camp. We don't have to come up with a decision this week." Sponsored Links

Arum in the way of Pacquiao vs Marquez III?

Sponsored Links
LAS VEGAS – Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao may have one-upped what seemed two weeks ago to be a cinch for Fight of the Year when they tore each other apart in a brutal brawl Saturday at Mandalay Bay for the WBC super featherweight title.

Pacquiao won a split decision, lifting the belt from Marquez in a stirring battle that cries for a rematch.

Nearly four years after a brutal draw between them at the MGM Grand, Marquez and Pacquiao did it again in a pitched battle that frequently had the sellout crowd of 11,061 on its feet.

Two weeks earlier, Marquez’s younger brother, Rafael, lost a decision to Israel Vazquez in a jaw-droppingly brutal bout. On Saturday, the elder Marquez and Pacquiao may have topped it with an equally savage bout. An hour after the fight, neither Marquez nor Pacquiao had made it to the postfight news conference, because each needed medical attention.

When they’re healthy, have no doubt that another rematch will come, despite heated postfight rancor.

But it will also be a while before it does. Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, categorically ruled out an immediate rematch. He’s planning to pit Pacquiao against David Diaz for the WBC lightweight title in the same building June 28, assuming Pacquiao is healed in time for that bout to occur.

“I’m not saying they’ll never fight again, but you have to let it bake for a while,” Arum said during an exchange with Marquez promoter Richard Schaefer.

Nearly everyone who was in the arena Saturday wanted to see a rematch except Arum, Pacquiao and Diaz, who would get a career-high payday for meeting Pacquiao.

“Hey, I have a vested interest in this thing,” Diaz said, beaming, after winning a majority decision in a non-title fight over Ramon Montano earlier in the evening. “But that was a great fight. I have to give it to them.”

Judge Jerry Roth had it 115-112 for Marquez, the same score as Yahoo! Sports. Duane Ford had it 115-112 for Pacquiao, while Tom Miller had it 114-113 for the Filipino.

Marquez would have retained his belt were it not for a third-round knockdown. Had that not occurred, Miller’s score would have been 114-114 and it would have produced a second consecutive draw.

Arum, who has frequently railed at decisions that have gone against him, pointed out that it was obviously a close fight that could have gone either way.

“I realize how stupid I’ve sounded when I questioned decisions in the past,” Arum said. “I’ve been one of the most vocal, but we have to learn to accept close decisions.”

Marquez controlled much of the fight with his right hand and his boxing ability, but Pacquiao’s power turned the tide several times.

Marquez went down from a straight left late in the third round, a much harder knockdown than any of the three that Pacquiao scored in the first round of their 2004 bout. After Marquez got up, Pacquiao moved in for the kill and nearly knocked the Mexican down again.

Marquez grabbed the rope to keep himself upright seconds before the bell sounded. But the tide turned again in the fourth, when Marquez cut Pacquiao with a hard right.

“I thought at that point I was in control of the fight, but when he cut my eye in the fourth round, it made it more difficult for me and he got back into the fight,” Pacquiao said.

But Pacquiao flatly ruled out another rematch, noting he wants to chase the lightweight belt.

Pacquiao and trainer Freddie Roach were convinced he deserved to win the 2004 bout and was of no mind to see Marquez across from him in a ring any time soon.

“I don’t think so,” Pacquiao said of a rematch. “This business is over.”

If it was over, it was 24 of the finest rounds between two men in recent memory. And the controversy over the rematch obscured what was a sensational pair of fights.

“They’re both terrors,” said former welterweight champion Shane Mosley, who has a piece of Golden Boy, which promotes Marquez. “I think whenever these two guys fight, they can’t help but do that.”

Schaefer offered Arum $6 million to bring Pacquiao back for a third fight. Arum wouldn’t hear of it, though he wouldn’t rule out that a third fight would occur in the future.

Schaefer went on a tirade against the judges, prompting a crack from Arum over Golden Boy’s ownership in The Ring magazine. The Ring awards championship belts, which has long disgusted Arum.

“I’m not satisfied with a magazine determining who the champions are, particularly when I don’t have ownership in the magazine,” Arum said.

The bottom line is that everyone who saw the bout wants to see it again. And even Arum conceded it would occur.

And if it does, it’s going to be another scintillating battle.

“These guys are both very good, complete and smart fighters,” Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said. “And these fights are always going to be ones that have you on the edge of their seats. It’s the way they fight. But it wasn’t bad, was it?”
