Juan Manuel Marquez heading to an old-fashioned bullring in Cancun

One of my best memories in the sport of boxing was chronicling my good friend Nate Campbell's title pursuit of Juan 'Baby Bull' Diaz's lightweight crowns in early 2008. Despite being a heavy 5-1 underdog heading into the contest, those close to Campbell's camp down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida seemed to know that something special was on the horizon. Campbell carried his rough and jovial demeanor with him all the way to Cancun, Mexico, the setting for his date with destiny, as he readied to challenge Diaz on the 8th of March. Serving as the co-feature to and HBO World Championship Boxing telecast, Campbell and Diaz would end up duking...

The Battle for Pacquiao-Marquez III

On November 12, Manny Pacquiao will face Juan Manuel Marquez for the third time at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas; that much is known. However, what is still to be decided is just who will handle the pay-per-view broadcast. Will it be Showtime/CBS, which distributed Pacquiao’s last bout versus Shane Mosley, or HBO Pay-Per-View/Time Warner? The bidding has just begun. Bob Arum, whose company, Top Rank, handles the “Pac-Man” told Maxboxing on Friday, "All I can tell you is what’s happened; last night we got the proposal from HBO, which frankly, blew [Top Rank President]Todd [DuBoef] and myself away. It’s the most unbelievable proposal...

Improved Pacquiao might be easier for Marquez says Nacho Beristain

If you ask Hall of Fame trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain who won the first two battles between Manny Pacquiao and his fighter, Juan Manuel Marquez - the straight shooting Mexican will pull no strings. "We fought 24 hard rounds with a man who has been made into a mythical figure," said Beristain.  "After both fights, I feel my fighter beat Pacquiao, but the politics of boxing took over." The record books will forever show Pacquiao and Marquez fighting to a draw in their first fight, and Pacquiao taking a split decision in their second affair. What makes Marquez such a tough opponent for Pacquiao? "Pacquiao jumps in and out like...

Why the long delay

One thing I can’t understand is why did it take so long for Manny Pacquiao to agree to a rematch if promoter Bob Arum foresees the Trilogy with Juan Manuel Marquez  to be “a great fight.” Remember that Marquez has been openly challenging  Pacquiao to a third match, saying that he was the actual victor  in their second match staged in Las Vegas in 2008. The fight ended in a split decision win for Pacquiao. On television, Pacquiao has been ignoring if not refusing the challenge outright. He said nobody will watch  a Pacquiao-Marquez fight,  possibly because he considers the Mexican fighter a has-been. I don’t know...
