The networks are in a frenzy to secure the pay-per-view rights to Manny Pacquiao's next fight.

Marquez: No Mayweather Jr. Mistakes With Pacquiao

Lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez will do everything possible to avoid the mistakes which led to a dominating decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2009. Marquez moved up by two divisions to face Mayweather at 147-pounds. On November 12 he climbs back up, by nearly two divisions, to a catch-weight of 144-pounds to face WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Marquez plans to work with a specialty group of medical physicians to shape his body and to assist him with a proper gain in weight, so the boxer retains his speed and gains power from the added muscle. Marquez blamed the "gained weight" for his loss to Mayweather. He felt weaker...

HBO may air Manny’s latest fight

MANILA—Showtime has the inside track, but HBO may yet spring a surprise and make a solid bid to air the third fight of the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez trilogy on Nov. 12. After all, a Pacquiao headliner, regardless of the opponent, is a guaranteed blockbuster as proven by the pound-for-pound king’s 147-pound clash with Shane Mosley on May 7. Though perceived to be a mismatch after it was first announced, Pacquiao-Mosley raked in a lofty 1.3 million pay-per-view buys, worth about $71 million, for Showtime, which was given the broadcast rights by fight promoter Top Rank over longtime partner HBO. As a result, Showtime enjoys the...

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR: "MARQUEZ WON'T PUT UP THE SAME FIGHT...PACQUIAO MAY STOP HIM"

I like him as a fighter, but Marquez won't put up the same fight this time around against Pacquiao," stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather sr., who shared his thoughts on the long-awaited third fight between pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao and lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacquiao Watch: Marquez gets his parting shot

Juan Manuel Marquez finally gets the third, and safe to say the last, fight he has been moving heaven and earth to have before he retreats to the sunset. There is not much money fight left in him as he approaches his 38th birthday. He has had two memorable and controversial fights with reigning pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, both when he was at the prime of his career. While both fights were close enough that they can be called both ways, Marquez never showed the kind of dominance that fellow Mexican Erik Morales did against Pacquiao during the two’s first of three fights. Like many Mexican boxers before him, Marquez failed to...

Pacquiao vs Marquez III: Showtime and HBO Bids Coming Soon

Kevin Iole (who is just a machine of Bob Arum news today) says that Top Rank executives will meet tomorrow with Showtime, as the network has "first dibs" on negotiations for the November 12 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, but an offer from HBO is also expected soon. Showtime, of course, handled the May 7 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, which was a huge story in boxing TV news in the United States, as Showtime hadn't promoted a major pay-per-view event in nearly a decade by that time. The jump by Top Rank to take Pacquiao to Showtime caught everyone by surprise, and with about 1.3 million pay-per-views...

Pacquiao – Marquez: Do The First Two Fights Even Matter?

It begs the question really, do the first two fights actually matter when speaking of a third showdown between the two superstars? Since their last encounter, Juan Manuel Marquez has established his name as the best Lightweight in the world.  Aged yes, but only in numbers as in terms of skill Marquez has yet to see any of his decline translate into a disadvantage in the ring.  He’s still one of Boxing’s best in-ring tacticians with the ability to adjust mid-fight to any fighter’s style and develop a strategy for victory on the fly. Pacquiao on the other hand, well, we all know what happened to him as we saw his star rise to...

Pacquiao-Marquez II - A Fight For The Ages!

The argument as to just who deserved the decision after Saturday's instant classic between Manny Pacquaio and Juan Manuel Marquez, in their superb rematch, will no doubt go on for some time.

As a result, both fights did not produce the pulsating action Pacquiao fights normally do. Well, guess what - Pac-Man is back to doing what he does best, namely putting the fans attending his fights through...
