Luneta or Quirino Grandstand will be the first stop of a four-city press tour on Sept. 3 and that he expects a multitude to attend the event in Manila.

A similar function will be held in Marquez’s lair in Mexico City after stops in New York and Los Angeles, according to Arum, revealing that the main square called The Zocalo, which can hold more than 100,000 people, will be tapped to host it.

After the tour, Pacquiao and Marquez will head to their respective high-altitude training camps: Pacquiao in Baguio and Marquez in Toluca.

There is bad blood in this third meeting between Pacquiao and Marquez with their first two matches ending in controversy.

The first time they fought, the bout ended on a 12-round split draw and the rematch ended on a split decision victory for the Filipino.

Marquez remains bitter up to this day, saying that “he (Pacquiao) knows he’s never really beaten me.” Although he is about to fight Likar Ramos this July 16th at the Plaza de Toros in Cancum mexico. This fight could either sharpen Marquez for their coming fight with Manny Pacquiao, or this could injured him that would lessen his balance as he face pacquiao on November.

Both fighters insist there’ll be no fourth fight as the convincing result of the rubber match will prevent one from taking place.

"This fight is more of a money making than to show of who's really the best boxer. but anyway boxing is in the very first place a game of money"
