A Manny Pacquiao - Juan Manuel Marquez 4 on December 8?

Manny Pacquiao next fight will be on December 8, but his opponent has yet to be named. Pacquiao's next opponent for his December 8 bout will be named on September 18, and talks are there will be a fourth match against his nemesis Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez.

I think I heard a saying that goes "One is enough, two is too much and three??well I forgot if there is a three or even a four" well you get what I mean. A 4th match against Marquez?? I'm not to upbeat on this fight though, if ever it will push through.

The two have fought three times in a span of nine years. They first fought in 2004, which resulted in a draw. The second fight in 2008 was won by Pacquiao via split decision. The third fight which was just last year was again won by Pacquiao with a majority decision.

The last Pacquiao-Marquez fight sold 1.3 million pay per views compared to only 900,000 for Pacquiao-Bradley.

I guess wishing for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight would never be realize.

The Day The Philippines Stood Still

Well I'm just exaggerating here hahahaha, but yes, come this Sunday, almost all the people here in Philippines will be glued either at home watching TV or at mall and restaurants watching Pay per View fights of Pacquiao versus Margarito. When Pacquiao became a ring icon in boxing, whenever he has a fight, streets are not busy, less traffic, less people on the streets, no crimes hahahaha. Pacquiao really commands that attention and support from his fellowmen. Come this Sunday I too will be glued at my TV set cheering for the pound for pound king, The PacMan, The Mexikiller, The Mexicutioner or whatever people are calling him nowadays. I hope he wins this Sunday and lure out Mayweather for their dream fight.

PACQUIAO VS CLOTTEY ON MARCH 13

There will be a fight on March 13, but it won't be against Floyd Mayweather. It will be against Josjua Clottey ina welterweight bout.

Since the Mayweather fight didn't push through, Arum moved to the next opponent, and landed a lucrative fight for Pacquiao.

Arum said he has finalized the deal to match Pacquiao against Joshua Clottey.

THE PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER FIGHT IS OFF

I posted last year that this mega fight is on, and it will be the fight of the decade. But to my dismay, it did not. Sorry for all my readers who read that post, maybe it was just the excitement in me to have read in a newspaper that the fight is on. But who else wont be excited about this fight, the whole world want to see this match. But as of my readers Mel Avila Alarilla commented

It is not yet officially on per se. Although Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum agreed on principle to stage the fight on March 13, 2010. As long as no official contract has been signed by Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., we can never say that the fight is already on. For all we know, Mayweather may chicken out and wriggle out of the match. Thanks for the post. God bless.

And yes you're right Mel, It looks like Mayweather did chicken out, because of his outrageous demands. His just making those demands as a scapegoat not to fight Manny Pacquiao.

As for Manny he said in a newspaper that “I am very disappointed that we could not make this fight for the fans and I am angered because of the false accusations from Golden Boy and the Mayweather camp that I used some type of drugs and that is why I have instructed our American lawyers to proceed with the lawsuit to clear my name,” said Pacquiao.

Well said Manny.

FINALLY PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER MATCH IS ON

Finally the match that we've been waiting for between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on, the date, March 13.

The fight is indeed happening as the pound for pound champ Manny Pacquiao agreed on the March 13 date in what is seen as the fight of the century.

Pacquiao met with Bob Arum recently in Manila and reportedly agreed in principle the terms laid down by Mayweather's camp.

Pacquiao did asked for some requirements which Arum believed won't hinder the negotiations, ike the type of gloves to be used.

Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's Canadian adviser, said that even though no contract has been signed yet the fight is a "done deal."

The fight would be at 147 pounds for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title, which he won in November with an impressive 12th round stoppage of Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

The bout could be the richest ever assuming projections are accurate. Pacquiao's fight against Cotto sld 1.25 million pay-per-views, while Mayweather's comeback victory over Juan Manuel Marquez in SEptember did 1.05 million.
