MANILA, Philippines – Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao’s 3rd bout against Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez may be broadcast by HBO, according to various reports.
Michael Marley of Examiner.com said Top Rank boss Bob Arum will confirm by Wednesday or Thursday whether HBO will present the trilogy bout between Pacquiao and Marquez.
Pacquiao's last bout, a unanimous decision victory over Shane Mosley, was shown in Showtime. Despite being criticized as a 'boring' fight, it earned Pacquiao the highest pay-per-view numbers of his career.
Marley cites a source who said that Top Rank has gone back to HBO.
"They've gone back to HBO, nothing against Showtime, because for the trilogy bout with Marquez, HBO has come up with a superior offer," the source told Marley.
But Top Ranks public relations officer Lee Samuels told BoxingScene.com that no official decision has been made.
Samuels said that Arum and Top Rank President Todd duBoef are still reviewing the offers of both HBO and Showtime.
