Like it or not, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are ready to do battle once again.
The longtime in-ring rivals are set to square off December 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As was the case with chapters two and three, the bout will air live on HBO PPV. The bout was officially announced during a Monday afternoon press conference in downtown Los Angeles as the first stop of a three-city fight tour.
Fret not, however. There are some fresh storylines for an otherwise exhausted topic.
This will be the first (and possibly only) entry of the series in which no title – lineal or alphabet - will be at stake. Pacquiao’s controversial loss to Tim Bradley in June ended a 2 ½ year stay as a welterweight titlist, while Marquez moving up in weight means his 140 lb. belt is not on the line.
