LAS VEGAS ? Rarely has two fighters on top of their game face each other for pride and honor. While Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are going to be compensated well for Saturday night?s (Sunday morning in Manila) featherweight war at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the winner of this bout will gain entry into the sport?s inner circle that has Roy Jones and Oscar dela Hoya as major players.
More than the money they would be earning, Pacquiao and Marquez will tear at each other in front of a huge crowd to determine who is mas macho.
Despite the fact that he holds two-third of the world featherweight titles, Marquez has been unable to get the recognition that he deserves as shown by the sports book display that lists Pacquiao as the heavy favorite to take the Mexican?s precious jewels, the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation 126-lb crowns.
