Bob Arum reckons the world of sports will see an absolute classic on November 12 – Boxing news
The promoter Bob Arum reckons the highly anticipated third fight between the current World Boxing Association, the World Boxing Organisation and the Ring Magazine’s Lightweight World Champion, Juan Manuel Marquez, and the current World Boxing Organisation
Welterweight World Champion (Super Champion), Manny Pacquiao, is going to be an absolute classic.
The Fighting Pride of Philippines, Manny Pacquiao, an eight-division world champion, and the Mexican Dinamita, Juan Marquez, who is a three-division world champion and the current number one pound-for-pound boxer in the world as per the Ring Magazine, kicked
off their international media tour last Saturday. They started with an outdoor public rally at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila to announce their third bout.
The rally later on pulled an estimated crowd of 70,000 enthusiastic Pacquiao-Marquez fans, as they wanted to show their eagerness for the mega showdown.
Therefore, Arum thinks this fight is going to be an absolute classic. Arum also claimed this fight will break all of the grossing records as of yet and will be Pacquiao’s biggest Pay-Per-View promotion ever.
He said, “The world of sports will see a classic, classic match. This match will be a credit to boxing and will be eagerly followed by all sports fans. Only an event this big would warrant a media tour this immense – one that not only includes the U.S. but
the native countries of these two great champions.”
“This will be Manny’s biggest pay-per-view promotion ever. I would especially like to thank Solar Entertainment for producing the Manila portion of this media tour. It was incredible and something none of us will ever forget,” he added.
Pacquiao and Marquez are both considered as the best boxers in the world and after what happened in their first two bouts, it is fair to say that this fight has all the hallmarks of being an absolute classic.
However let’s see who wins this mega fight, as it is certainly going to make a huge difference on the winner’s career.
