Mas kakagatin ang Pacquiao-Marquez IV

- Russell Cadayona - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Kumpara sa pagdaraos ng rematch nina Manny Pac­quiao at Timothy Bradley, Jr., mas tatangkilikin ng mga boxing fans ang pang apat na pagtatagpo nina ‘Pac­man’ at Juan Manuel Mar­quez.

Naniniwala si Mexican le­gendary trainer Ignacio 'Na­cho' Beristain na mapaplantsa nina promoters Bob Arum at Fernando Beltran ang naturang Pacquiao-Mar­­quez IV.

“Bob Arum and Fernando Beltran, the promoters of Pacquiao and Marquez, are intelligent and looking for good profits,” sabi ni Be­­ristain. “I think it’s better to make the fourth fight bet­­ween Marquez and Pac­­quiao.”

Idinagdag pa ng Me­xican trainer na ang Pacquiao-Marquez IV ang mu­ling hahatak sa mga bo­xing fans matapos madis­maya sa kontrobersyal na split de­cision loss ng Filipino bo­xing superstar kay Bradley no­ong Hunyo 9 sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, Ne­va­da.

“Right now there is a 80 percent chance that the fight will be made,” wika ni Be­ristain, ang chief trainer ng four-time world champion na si Marquez. “It’s a fight that generates more pub­lic interest and more mo­ney than a rematch with Ti­mothy Bradley.”

May nakasaad na ‘re­match clause’ sa fight con­tract nina Pacquiao at Bradley na nakatakda sa Nobyembre 10.

Subalit wala pang de­sis­yon ang Sarangani Congressman kung gusto muli nitong labanan si Bradley.

Tinalo ni Pacquiao ang 38-anyos na si Marquez via majority decision sa ka­­nilang pangatlong pagki­kita noong Nobyembre 12, 2011.

Ang laban pa rin kay Floyd Mayweather, Jr. ang ipinipilit ng legal counsel ni Pacquiao na si Atty. Franklin Gacal na maitakda.

“I think the fight with Floyd Mayweather should be on top of the agenda when he meets with Bob Arum next week,” wika ni Ga­­cal kay Pacquiao.
