Pacquiao has large edge over Marquez

Posted by dailynewtrends

MANILA, Philippines - Bob Arum stated there isn’t any question that Manny Pacquiao would be the huge and overwhelming favorite against Juan Manuel Marquez.

Which both previous fights together, both close and questionable, at 126 and 130 pounds, won’t matter so far as the chances for that third one can be involved.

“Because everyone has become convinced how great Manny Pacquiao is,” stated Arum inside a telephone call he earned from La yesterday morning.

Besides, Marquez is going to be facing Pacquiao inside a weight class he is not suited to.

Your dream is placed November. 12 in Vegas with Pacquiao staking the WBO welterweight crown he won against Miguel Cotto, and defended against Joshua Clottey and Shane Mosley.

Marquez has fought against only one time over 140 pounds, and that he required a uneven loss against Floyd Mayweather last year. Against Pacquiao, in a catchweight of 144, he’ll maintain for any harder time.

“They (oddsmakers) haven’t published it yet. However it will truly rely on the first betting,” stated Arum, adding that although it may be pretty close, it can’t be pretty even.

Pacquiao, Marquez fight goes global

Posted by dailynewtrends

MANILA, Philippines — Manila. Tokyo. London. New York. Los Angeles. Mexico City. Six cities, five countries, three continents.

From the way it looks, it’s an itinerary of a rock band on a tour. But it’s not.

It’s the calendar of Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum as he prepares the promotional tour of the Nov. 12 rubber match starring Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.

“We’re going worldwide,” Arum told the Bulletin on Friday from Washington as he was attending a function in honor of his late son John who died during a climbing accident last year.

Arum said the six-city press tour will begin in August and Manila will be the jump-off point for what the Top Rank big boss said “will be the biggest Manny Pacquiao fight ever.”

“I am going to call my good friend Jorge Araneta to see if the Araneta Coliseum will be available (on a date we are planning to hold it),” said Arum, who played a key role in staging the 1975 Thrilla in Manila at the Big Dome in close coordination with Don King.

“We will hold the first in Manny’s home country then will end it in Marquez’s,” said Arum

Arum had initially mentioned that the tour will only cover Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, San Antonio (Texas) and Mexico City, but a development the last ten days has compelled the 79-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer to alter the original program.

Marquez won't seek doping tests for Pacquiao

Posted by dailynewtrends

MANILA, Philippines – Lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez said that he does not feel the need to ask Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao to undergo additional drug testing in preparation for their November 12 bout.
“We are not going to ask for additional tests,” Marquez told Examiner.com.
Pacquiao, the pound-for-pound king and congressman from the Philippines, has been hounded by allegations of drug use – mostly from Floyd Mayweather Jr., who refuses to fight Pacquiao without Olympic-style random drug testing.
Marquez did say that if Pacquiao has been using performance enhancing drugs, then the Filipino icon should feel bad for his victories because he had “unfair advantage.”
But the Mexican is focused on his own preparations.
“What I’m going to do is to prepare in the same manner as we’ve always done,” said Marquez. He adds that he has a doctor who will help him get to the 144-pound catchweight.
“I need to show up in excellent physical and mental condition.”
It will be the third meeting between Marquez and Pacquiao.
When the two first battled in 2004, Pacquiao knocked down Marquez three times in the first round, but Marquez still salvaged a draw.
