Is Pacquiao-Marquez 3 the Right Fight at the Wrong Time?

Critics of Manny Pacquiao like to point fingers and make claims of cherry-picking and convenient matchmaking and, Lord knows, I have engaged in such behavior over the years as the Filipino Phenom has gotten bigger, both literally and figuratively, as a pugilistic icon. In my opinion, the criticisms have been warranted in five of his last seven fights. However, as Manny's November fight with Juan Manuel Marquez approaches, this critic will go on record as saying that Pacquiao is fighting the right fight for all the right reasons. The one question, though, is whether the right fight is taking place at the wrong time. The first two...

Notebook: The HBO Pacquio deal, Pavlik update, and more

It seems that Bob Arum is depending more on his stepson, Todd duBoef who also is the President of Top Rank. That is now evident after the deal was made last week with HBO pay-per-view to distribute and produce the Manny Pacquiao welterweight title defense against Manuel Marquez on November 12 from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Arum took part in the negotiations, but the ultimate decision making process was in the hands of duBoef, the eventual successor to Arum in the company. Showtime PPV had the rights to the last Pacquiao title defense against Shane Mosley in May, and there was every reason to believe that they would get another...

Loaded Dynamite: Marquez Looks to Prove He’s Better Than Pacquiao

The boxing world received quite a hit last week when respected trainer Nazeem Richardson spoke about lightweight champion Juan “Dinamita” Manuel Marquez in an interview. Nazeem, trainer of veterans Shane Mosley and Bernard Hopkins, stated that Marquez is no doubt one of the best fighters of the current era and that Juan may even be a better boxer than his nemesis and pound for pound number one fighter in the world Manny Pacquiao. No one can reasonably dispute Richardson’s knowledge of the game as he’s been around the sports for many, many years and has recently guided his charge Bernard Hopkins to a history making win over ex champ Jean...

Pacquiao-Marquez III is a Pinoy action flick

They don’t make them anymore but a Filipino action picture with a hero, guns, fistfights, a love interest, a comic sidekick and a catchy title always had its loyal followers. Whether it be FPJ, Joseph Estrada, Lito Lapid, Ronnie Ricketts, Philip Salvador or Robin Padilla starring, Pinoy movie fans would watch to escape the ennui of life or to imagine, even for an hour and a half, what it would be like to be a hero. There was always that moment, the “trailer scene” if you will, where the star would blurt out the title of the film just before the final gun battle (won of course by the hero). Pinned down under a hail of gunfire, the...

Bubbly Harold Lederman: Manny Pacquiao, world's Numero Uno, came home to HBO

When Manny Pacquiao departed his American broadcast home of HBO for a one off, a fight on archrival Showtime against Sugar Shane Mosley, HBO's Unofficial Fight Judge Harold Lederman was wounded emotionally. Lederman. who wears his emotions on his sleeve anyway, acted like the pretty high school cheerleaqder who suddenly realize the football quarterback was two-timing her. "I felt that HBO helped make Manny legendary," Lederman said at the time. "I felt it was somewhat disloyal for him to go elsewhere." But, at least for his Nov. 12 trilogy bout against Mexican master counterpuncher Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacman is returning to the HBO airwaves. This...
