Mabuhay Pilipinas!!! Viva Mexico!!! The warriors are set to faceoff for the first leg of the press tour. Another memorable history has come in the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Manila last August 3, 2011. There are thousands of people in attendance at the Quirino Grandstand in order to witness the Pacquiao-Marquez Press Tour. The Press Tour was set first here in the Philippines then they proceed to New York (Second Leg), Los Angeles (third Leg) and in Mexico (country of Juan Manuel Marquez) for the last leg of the Press Tour. (MORE STORY BELOW)
It was an amazing day yesterday as the Filipinos and people around the world witnessed the star-studded and great production of the Press Tour. I was proud to be part of it because the event is very successful and we Filipinos are friendly enough in welcoming Juan Manuel “Dynamita” Marquez. I think that the “Dynamita” doesn’t show his real emotion because we heard no Trash Talk during the interview. Well, Let’s say “Natakot ba dahil nandito sa Pinas or masyado lang siya nadala sa pakikitungo natin at nalaman niya na very friendly and hospitable and mga Pinoy? Kaya hindi siya nakapagsabi ng kanyang hinanakit o masamang saloobin kay Pacman.”
We all know that there’s a personal grudge between the two warriors because of Pacquiao thought that he win the first fight but set to be a draw. While in second fight, Marquez insist that he won the fight but the score card of the judges favors Pacquiao. So, in the Pacquiao-Marquez III on November 12, 2011 (November 13 here in the Philippines), the two fighters promised that they will give us a full pack entertainment as they will bring best fight.
The conversation during the event yesterday is described as friendly talk between the two. No harsh talk just an inspirational talk that they told each other to train well in order to bring good fight. And they cracking jokes also as people are laughing while listening.
Here are some talks that I summarized during the interview proper of the Press Tour. The Interviewers are the well known broadcaster Arnold Clavio and Sports caster Chito Trinidad. It includes also the Top Rank CEO Bob Arum in the conversation. Bob Arum says that we must watch the fight on November 12 in order to find who the best fighter in the history of boxing is.
Manny Pacquiao says that their previous fights are very controversial in results in order to end up the battle between them; they must have the 3rd fight. Pacquiao also added that if he wins the fight, there’s already no doubt in the 2nd fight where he is the winner. Marquez answers that, forget the past and the future, we must talk on the present that November 12, people around the world will find out who will be the greatest warrior between them. Marquez says that Pacquiao must train well because he is training well also with all of his heart in order to win the battle. Both fighters told that they are not fighting just for their selves but they fight because of their dedications in their country. They can give the best fight as people wanted to see it. Pacquiao is promised that he can defeat Marquez for the 2nd time around. Marquez replied that he is not sure to defeat Pacquaio but he promise that he will fight with his heart and if he lost, he says that it might be time that he retire in boxing.
In continuation of the conversation, Arnold Clavio asked Manny Pacquiao if ever he wins the fight, is there any possibility to make it in 4th fight? Manny says that if he wins, there is still fourth fight but not already a boxing. He says that their fourth fight might be playing Basketball and no more boxing between them. When Chito Trinidad asked Marquez in comparing the upcoming fight to Pacman from his previous fight with Mayweather, the “Dynamita” says that is fight with Pacquaio is full battle of two warriors. They can box each other from time to time and no more running as he describes Mayweather as a running fighter that’s why he lost the match. Same with Pacquiao, he says that people will fully entertain in their fight because it will be a bloody fight as both of them is facing each other and box all the time. No running tactics to use just a full faceoff boxing. Lastly, both warriors insist that they must train well heart to heart and they give their best in giving the best fight. The both fighters are inviting Filipinos and people around the globe to watch their fight on November 12, 2011 and find out the best fighter between them.
