Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is planning a world tour to promote Pacquiao vs Marquez trilogy. The event takes place on November 12 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Arum says the tour will involve seven cities in eight countries. The early schedule has the tour starting in the last week of August in Manila, Philippines, which is going to be followed by a whirlwind promotional tour of cities like Tokyo, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, London, New York and Los Angeles, and the tour will end in Mexico City in early September. Arum explained why the two boxers will travel thousands of miles all over the world.
"Pacquiao has long ceased to only be a product in the Philippines, the United States or Mexico. He is already a global icon, and therefore, we are going to travel the world [promoting] this great fight. We'll start this in August and end it in September, with the [necessary] time required for both fighters to return to their camps. It will be a great fight, and we expect 1.6 million homes on pay-per-view," Arum told Sal Rodriguez.
