    :huh

    Bernard and Shane have upcoming fights, doubt they could fit a trip to Pinas in their scheds.

    De Leon and MAB? **** Ponce, I love Gerry man. Seeing MAB would be great. But then I think you're bullshiting me.:twisted:

    Sorry the letter p is ****ed up in this keyboard.
    I saw their interviews, they seem to be already here or maybe it's just a telecast abroad i don't know. Watch studio 23 and maybe you can catch them up. I am not really sure if it's in here though...

    it'll be different that the reception Morales got.
    Pac had beat Morales fair and square over 3 fights....if people in the Philippines are being honest with themselves they will know JMM beat Pac once and probably twice. I guess they won't be as warm to him.

    i would be honest to myself and say that pac beat marquez on a close fight that could also be a win for marquez. i agree that it would not be as warm as a morales reception but if he would move around the country, people will still ask for his autograph and pictures.

    Imo ac won in a very, very close decision
    pac won rnds.1,3,4,9,10,11
    jmm got the other 6.
    That is a honest score and i don't want to be bias. I'm a inoy and a jmm believer the best counter punching machine i ever saw, but alas ac really got his number, sorry.

    MARQUEZ ARRIVING FOR PENALOSA-VORAPIN SHOWDOWN!

    Sat, 05 Apr 2008

    MANILA--Filipinos will be treated to a grand drama outside of the ring tomorrow morning.

    This as former WBC superfeatherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez has been confirmed to arrive in the country tomorrow morning on a PAL flight to watch the "Invasion" card at special ringside tomorrow.


    This was confirmed today by sources close to the situation, and coincidentally, Marquez will be arriving on the same flight that Freddie Roach will be taking from Los Angeles.

    "I wouldn't know if Roach and Marquez would be talking during the plane ride," said the source.

    Pacquiao had earlier confirmed he would be arriving for the fight, and Marquez' arrival would definitely add color to the show.

    Marquez, who will be arriving upon the invitation of his promoter Golden Boy Promotions and ABS-CBN, is aching for a third battle with the Filipino boxing icon following his close defeat at the hands of the Pacman recently.

    hey guys, what time (local time) will the "Invasion" starts?

    maybe marquez isn't just here for the fight. he could be doing a commercial shoot just like what morales did when he visited the PI.
