MANNY PACQUAIO
"First like to thank God for giving me the sign everyday. To both promoters and MP Promotions I thank you. Thanks to my wife who is very supportive of my boxing career. It will be a great fight on Saturday as I heard Marquez has trained very hard and doesn't want to let his countrymen down. But I don't either as I need to win this fight for my people as this is the key to the Filipino unity. Not only for myself but all the people who love boxing. I want them to be satisfied with my performance and not disappoint them on Saturday. I will do my best to make them happy. I also pray that both Marquez and me will be safe and all fighters will not get hurt in the ring."

FREDDIE ROACH, TRAINER
"Manny came to camp early and we usually have a rule that we don't play basketball and I didn't even have to worry about it. He said he didn't want to play this time because this fight is so important.
"We are ready and I am looking forward to the fight and Saturday night."

BOB ARUM, PROMOTER
"Not too many words or hyperboles for this fight. I've heard Juan Manuel is in great shape but I have witnessed with my own eyes how Manny Pacquaio trained for this fight. If I could get a blueprint for how he trained and get all other fighters to use it, we would have great fights night after night. The conditioning is so important as his stamina and ability to withstand punishment is at his highest peak. I don't know another fighter—and we have Pavlik and Cotto who worked hard—but I have never seen anyone prepare like Manny Pacquaio has for this fight. [/FONT]

TEAM MARQUEZ:
JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ
"Thank your for being here. I am happy to be here for this fight and everyone watching this fight is a war. I have prepared very hard for three months. I don't really like to talk in the ring I do it in the ring. This fight is for my country, my people and I will win it with my heart."

IGNACIO BERISTAIN, TRAINER
"After recouping and swallowing the sour decision of the Juan's brother Rafael's fight against Vasquez, please watch and witness what well be a great fight with two warriors."

RICHARD SCHAEFER, PROMOTER
"Another great night of boxing and it can't get much better than this, there is one dream match-up and this is the one they wanted to see (polls taken showed us that). Support has been tremendous and everyone has embraced this great event. And so did the sponsors.....Golden Boy is extremely pleased to be working with Juan Manuel and his team. He is an unbelievable champion and you will truly see a magnificent performance by him Saturday night. This is a fight between two great warriors and I don't think anyone will be disappointed."
