LAS VEGAS ? Call it coincidence but two times, counting the Marquez duel set Saturday (Sunday in Manila), people?s champ Manny Pacquiao found himself linked to some crisis or political exercise back home.
Last July while in the middle of his demolition of another Mexican ? Emmanuel Lucero in Los Angeles ? the government was in frantic negotiation with military rebels who seized a plush Makati Hotel.
By the time Lucero has turned away from the power of Pacquiao?s blows in the third round, the rebels sued for peace in what has been known as the Oakwood mutiny.
