After three fights, we need a fourth one?
After three fights with Pacquiao the winner of two after the first one ended in a questionable draw, we need a fourth one?
After three fights and Marquez suffering four knockdowns in the first two fights, we need a fourth one?
What for? To make Pacquiao the winner yet again–on points–and then delight in hearing a mindless mob howl that Marquez was robbed, yet again?
Ah, what are we up to, this time, if not another boxing trapeze set to traipse into yet another infamy.
What?s happening to the world, attorney?
Attorney, here, of course is Bob Arum, Manny Pacquiao?s American promoter.
Arum, a Harvard-educated lawyer, was quoted as saying he would arrange for a fourth Pacquiao-Marquez fight, either in May or June, in, yes, Las Vegas–yet again.
Never mind the hail of hits the fight might draw from a camp steeped in the machinations of pugilism.
Toss out the window the cynics out to label the fight, ?The Boredom of the Century.?
Of course, there?s always a ready reason to counter criticisms, to derail the heckling of the rabble-rousers.
For, take this: Arum, the wisest man on planet boxing, can take care of that. There?s nothing in Arum?s arsenal that can?t handle one obstacle after another.
When it comes to hurdling a boxing steeplechase, Arum is incomparable.
