Theres still a few more days to go and it will be September, it means more Boxing in store for you before the Christmas season.
First thing that we will be looking at is the come back of the former pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather. The American boxer will step on the ring once again to face Victor Ortiz in a title fight this September 17 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Next to this will be the Pacquiao vs Marquez third and final fight between long-time rivals this coming November 12.
If we compare these two exciting match ups, Pacquiao and Marquez III is more popular because it really created a buzz. With so many promotions and tours the long time awaited trilogy is on the top.
“I’m not hearing much about Mayweather-Ortiz. Hopefully the buzz will pick up soon,” said Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
This is indeed true, Mayweather’s lawsuits are much more talked about than his upcoming fight. Maybe because he is fighting Ortiz not Pacquiao or maybe because his crimes is pulling him down.
Mayweather had another lawsuit that came from his former friend. And add uop his past accusations by his ex-girlfriend and the bodyguards.
On the other hand, Pacquiao who is very confident in ending Marquez’s career is hoping to have the mega fight next year.
“There is a big possibility that by next year there will be a fight between me and Mayweather . I think the fight will push through,” said Pacquiao.
While the Pacquiao-Marquez is continously reaching out to all of the boxing fans around the world, the Mayweather-Ortiz campaign is slowing down.
“The Marquez-Pacquiao III has more fans than a fight between a ducker (Mayweather) and another Mexican soutpaw. We can really tell,” said A.J Samonte of the Philippines.
“The reason why the people shows low interest in the upcoming Mayweather fight is because of Mayweather’s past actions,” Tim Jones of Carolina.
maybe the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight is really more popular since this is already branded as an epic match and the fights between these two fighters are really very controversial.. Pacquiao winning those fights created doubts in Marquez' mind believing he was really the one who won those two face-off.. so maybe, this adds to the popularity of this match and yes, they have a lot of promotions even having World Press Tours... I even found this site: https://www.gogvm.com/membership/buytickets.php and this is about winning tickets, hotel accommodation, airfare and other prizes just by signing up... and I think this will be a good deal for fans out there...
