Thirty Thousand Mexicans can't be wrong showing public love for Manny Pacquiao

Fan Frenzy as Guesstimated 30,000 Fight Fans Turn Out to Cheer Both Homeboy Juan Manuel Marquez and "Honorary Mexicano" Manny Pacquiao.   MEXICO CITY--Some of those windbags and layabouts who "serve" the American people in Washington like to prattle on and on about "reaching across the aisle" seeking viable compromises with the opposing party. From what I saw and heard today, the Congressman from Sarangani named Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao could teach Democrats, Republicans and maybe even staunch Tea Party types how to effectively work with those with a different perspective. Pacman, you see, had most of the guesstimated 30,000...

Pacquiao expected to silence Marquez

He will get his payback,” Roach added. The...

Pacquiao Nice Guy no more

LOS ANGELES — They’ve been telling the public that they’re friends and there’s nothing personal between them. But there’s a feeling of revulsion whenever Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are within spitting distance of each other as evidenced by their actions in Manila and New York and here on Tuesday during the dizzying four-city press tour promoting their Nov. 12 trilogy. The last few times he has fought, Pacquiao has been very friendly with his foes to the extent that he has been oftentimes criticized for being too nice to them. Pacquiao horsed around with Ricky Hatton during a darts exhibition match in Manchester, posed...

Pacquiao says improved skill, style will beat Marquez, not weight

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- If Manny Pacquiao dominates Juan Manuel Marquez in their anticipated third bout on Nov. 12, many observers will chalk it up to weight and the 5-to-1 underdog’s inability to carry it. Although Marquez gave Pacquiao hell in their first two bouts -- a draw at featherweight and a split-decision loss at junior lightweight -- the general consensus is that the Filipino icon is better suited to fighting at the contracted 144-pound catchweight of the their third bout than the Mexican master boxer.  However, Pacquiao and his promoter, Bob Arum, don‘t believe that weight is as much of a factor in this fight as odds...

Manny Pacquiao intends payback against Juan Manuel Marquez

Pacquiao's camp says a Nov. 12 bout in Las Vegas is 'more personal.' Marquez had worn a shirt proclaiming 'We were robbed' after a previous loss to Pacquiao.Manny Pacquiao's road to stardom was established by power punching and a pair of compelling back-and-forth bouts against his rival from Mexico, Juan Manuel Marquez. As Pacquiao prepares for his third fight against Marquez on Nov. 12 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the Filipino star's attention is locked on the goal to reaffirm his power reputation by quieting Marquez once and for all. "Everybody knows Marquez has been talking too much," Pacquiao said Wednesday as he and Marquez continued...

A part of Roach is nervous about Pacquiao's fight against Marquez

LOS ANGELES – On an intellectual level, Freddie Roach breaks down the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez fight on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas and can see only one result: a one-sided victory for his fighter. On a gut level, a small part of him isn’t so sure. Pacquiao and Marquez fought on even terms in 2004 (draw) and 2008 (Pacquiao split decision), which failed to answer the question of who is the better fighter. Maybe Marquez simply knows how to be competitive with Pacquiao. “Sometimes people have people’s number,” said Roach, speaking at a news conference Wednesday at The Beverly Hills Hotel. “Will Manny fall into...

Pacquiao/Marquez Los Angeles Press Conference

After a self made, man-fulfilling steak and egg breakfast and a 20-minute strengthening workout, I trekked, for the second time this year, to the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset in Los Angeles for a Manny Pacquiao press conference. Sitting in bumper to bumper traffic through most of my journey with the odometer hitting upwards of 90 plus degrees, (it would hit 109 before the day was done) I was happier than ever to reach my destination and receive a valet ticket and jump inside the plush hotel. With oodles of time before the conference even began, I found myself on a couch listening to the new Jay-Z/Kanye West album as I watched the circus...

No more Mr Nice Guy as Pacquiao girds for battle

DID REALITY FINALLY SINK IN?

Beverly Hills, CA:- Watching both Pacquiao and Marquez today at the third leg of the promotional press conference held at the famed Beverly Hills Hotel to hype their third fight scheduled on November 12th at the MGM Grand Arena allowed me to capture a few poignant photos. As a photographer I do not mind too much what is being said at the podium. That is the job of the “writers”. I primarily focus on people hoping to capture telling photos related to the event. That is exactly what I got today. Juan Manuel Marquez must not be a seasoned traveler. Jet lag caught up with him. In fact, he himself said that they traveled thousands of miles in...

Images from L.A.: Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez meet once again

Earlier today in Los Angeles, inside of the Beverly Hills Hotel, Manny Pacquiao and respected rival Juan Manuel Marquez met once again. The two men are scheduled to meet on November 12th inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada for a third time but much more than Pacquiao’s WBO belt will be on the line. Pacquiao and Marquez first battled to a split-draw in May of 2004, a fight that saw Marquez dropped three times before the Mexico City star recovered to make a fight out of things. Nearly four years later Pacquiao would edge Marquez via split-decision in an equally thrilling battle. So far the candor between both teams has been respectful,...
