PACQUIAO MARQUEZ THIRD OFFERING
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, best pound for pound fighter, will be facing another exciting boxer, Juan Manuel Marquez, in a boxing encounter that many consider as the most exciting fight this year taking place in Las Vegas on Nov. 12, 2011.
Promoter Bob Arum confirmed it and said this fight is almost finalized, and once again, his opponent will not be Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Instead, Pacquiao is in the process of signing a contract for a third fight against Juan Manuel Marquez.
HOW MUCH WOULD THIS FIGHT COST?
According to the news, this fight would pay Marquez at least $5 million at a catch weight of 144 pounds or 65 kgs.
Once the contract is signed, Golden Boy Promotions, Marquez Promoter, still must provide its final "approval and consent" for the fight to take place. It is believed Top Rank and Golden Boy have agreed to a deal to make Marquez fight boxing legend Pacquiao.
