JUAN Manuel Marquez has started his quest for ring immortality by engaging in an obligatory tune-up before his crucial third match with Manny Pacquiao.
It?s a Nov. 12 faceoff at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and the concluding reprise of their earlier fights has raised questions not on how much they?ll get paid, but on purses on unmade fights involving (would you believe) a talented but raw Canelo Alvarez and the ol? stand by Floyd Mayweather Jr.
It is an argument that is not a debate, but a messy mix-up of metaphors?
