Pacquiao-Marquez Fight featured in USA Today


The Scheduled rematch between the two price fighters was so hyped that it landed in the sport section of USA Today. The Article examined their upcoming megafight in Las Vegas.

Having previously beaten two Mexican stars, Juan Manuel Marquez promised that his name will not be included in the list. Their previous fight almost four years ago ended in a 12-round draw. Pacquiao floored Marquez down three times in the first round but Marquez survived and put forth a valiant fight the following rounds enough to convince the judges for the draw.

During their press conference, a reporter asked perhaps the most intriguing question to Pacquiao "If you beat Marquez, would you ever dare vacation in Mexico?"

Pacquiao grinned, then said: "Maybe, but with more bodyguards."

The article takes note of what at stake aside from the belt.
"If Pacquiao beats Marquez, he would capture his third world championship in three weight classes, previously holding the flyweight and junior featherweight titles.

If he Marquez wins, he would capture something even bigger — a legacy."

The fight will be stage on March 15 at the famed Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
