Manny Pacquiao Still Invisible…

There have been numerous media reports which state that HBO is the clear front runner to host the November 12 Pacquiao – Marquez trilogy. Showtime hosted Pacquiao’s last fight with Shane Mosley on May 7 and a bidding war has erupted between Showtime and HBO to host the lucrative  Manny Pacquiao – Marquez fight. Pay Per View (PPV) buys for Pacquiao – Mosley were in the 1.3 million range and it is believed that Pacquiao – Marquez could exceed 1.4 million. It has been rumored that one of the reasons Ross Greenburg no longer holds his position at HBO was because of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum’s decision to go with Showtime for the Manny...

No Package Deal with Pacquiao vs Marquez, Cotto vs Margarito Fights

Despite reports that Top Rank was basically packaging their November 12 and December 3 pay-per-view events, Steve Kim spoke to Top Rank President Todd duBoef, who denied that any such package deal was in place: The idea of packaging the two pay-per-view events (Pacquiao vs Marquez and Cotto vs Margarito) was an interesting one, as it would have required someone to, in all likelihood, overpay a bit for Cotto vs Margarito. Kim also reported on Twitter that Top Rank is looking at October 15 for the rematch between Juan Manuel Lopez and Orlando Salido, but that's the date of HBO's PPV headlined by Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson. Whether...

No decision yet on Pacquiao vs. Marquez network, HBO tipped as front-runner

It is widely rumored Manny Pacquiao's November 12th trilogy fight with Juan Manuel Marquez now looks set to air on HBO and not Showtime who aired his May fight with Shane Mosley. Stories from Philstar, Michael Marley and Fighthype earlier today all supported the idea, each of whom were informed by Top Rank insiders only for the promotional heavyweight to later announce that no official decision has yet been made. Of course this could be Bob Arum's not so subtle way of creating a bidding war, unofficially informing Showtime that their offer needs improvement if they really want the fight. A typically shrewd move from the veteran promoter...

Manny Pacquiao Still a Heavy Favorite vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

Short of ending Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s undefeated streak before November 12, there is absolutely nothing Juan Manuel Marquez can do to improve his betting odds heading into his match against Manny Pacquiao. Everything that can be said about Pacquiao and Marquez’s coming fight has already been said. It’s the third part of a somewhat epic trilogy between the two men, but it’s coming at least one year too late. It looks good on paper given the history involved, but in practice it promises to be just the latest in a long line of beatings handed down by boxing’s main attraction to an overwhelmed challenger. And, perhaps most importantly,...

Pacman tiff to be aired on HBO?

MANILA, Philippines - HBO just won’t let the big fish get away – a second time. After losing out to Showtime in airing the Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley bout last May, it seems that HBO has won the bidding war regarding Pacquiao’s fight with Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12. Pacquiao’s adviser, Michael Koncz, said he would talk with Top Rank chief Bob Arum today regarding the decision but he did not confirm nor deny that HBO had sealed the deal. “Bob and I will talk tomorrow,” Koncz told The STAR. A report, however, came out of Fighthype yesterday saying HBO may have gained the inside track because of its HBO World Championship boxing card featuring...
