Pacquiao headed to LA!

Superstar Manny Pacquiao will arrive in Los Angeles this evening to begin work with chief trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in preparation for his March 15 clash with Juan Manuel Marquez at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. “I have a lot of respect for Marquez and I know he will be in his very best condition,” said Pacquiao, who previously fought to a draw with Marquez. “Manny knows he is going into the fight of his fight of his career, taking on Marquez who is driven by the fact he is fighting for all of Mexico,” said Bob Arum of Top Rank. WBC super featherweight champion Marquez disputes the result of the first fight and is looking forward to the rematch. “There isn’t a fight I’ve wanted more than this one,” Marquez said. “Pacquiao knows what happened in our first fight – he won the first round, I won the next 11.” The fighters will meet tomorrow at a press conference in Beverly Hills to officially announce ‘Unfinished Business,’ which will be available on HBO Pay Per View. Top Rank and Golden Boy are promoting.
