    If this is the Philippines, then why is he wearing a sweater?

    yes and that place is where i always run. during this time of the year, if it's past 8am, it would be too hot to go for a run unless it's cloudy. but this morning is cloudy here and rained the whole day so it would not be too uncomfortable for him i guess.

    maybe not serious training. probably some roadwork only. and that area that he ran, about 30% is near a main road which is a little polluted but the rest is breathable. if he does it in early mornings, it's really a non-issue.

    Does he run regularly?

    If yes, I'll try to do my laps there this weekend in hopes of catching him.
    That'd be freaking awesome.

    As I've said countless times, Filipinos don't hat Marquez and any other Mexicans Pac fought for that matter.
    Dunno how clueless posters came up with that idea.

    i don't know but i ran early this morning in the hope that i could see him taking some laps but to my surprise, they are setting up a stage and the path was closed. then i just remembered that today is their press conference.

    or maybe just tired and jet-lagged. that picture was taken just 3 hours after they landed from more than 16 hours of flight.

    Then he asked for a rematch for three years after the second fight (which was obviously eventually made) and didn't get it until now.

    You mis-translated that Tazo......When asked by the reporter what % is this personal and what is for money?

    .....Marquez said, "95% is personal, and that for him in other fights, he does'nt fight for the money, he fights for his love of boxing."

    .....Some of the *******s will take it the wrong way because they just done like Marquez, but of course when any fighter negotiates a fight, no fighter wants to be taken advantage of and put in a situation where somebody else is going to benefit from the work he puts into it.

    The business side of boxing can get ugly because most promoters look to take advantage of fighters, but I have no doubt that Marquez fights for himself, pride, and country. He enjoys practicing his craft but of course, there is'nt a fighter out there who's going to do it for free.

    One thing I will say of Marquez, both the rematch and this fight coming in November were his doing.
    He put himself in the situation to force both fights to happen.
    The 2nd fight certainly would not have happened had Marquez not gone public and stated, "I'm agreeing to every Pacquiao demand he put out. I"ll take less money and I'll even let him chose the weight class."

    Had Marquez not conceded to every Pac demand, we'd have never witnessed the 2nd Marquez-Pacquiao fight.
