It’s meant to promote the third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez to be held on November 12, 2011, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
This is the third stop on a four-city press tour, following Manila and New York, with Mexico City still to come. Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO) will be putting his WBO welterweight title on the line against Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO), who currently holds the legitimate world championship at lightweight, as well as the WBA and WBO trinkets.
The fight is, of course, the third meeting between the two, following their controversial draw in 2004, and the controversial split decision win in 2008 for Pacquiao. Trilogy rivalries rarely stretch out over seven years, but this one has had a lot of breaks, with great success for both fighters in between.
WWE superstar The Miz was in attendance at the Pacquiao vs Marquez III press conference held at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles on September 7.
He even gave the two boxers t-shirts with his famous catchphrase, “I’m Awesome!”
