Pacquiao's '17 world tour: Bring Marquez 5th fight in Manila





Team Pacquiao is planning to stage 4 contests this year ending the only eight division world champion’s boxing career in a world tour fashion.
U.K., Russia, Middle East and Australia are possible venues.
This April 23rd, Pacquiao might face Australia’s Jeff Horn, a legit contender who is still unknown to many. And Terence Crawford a title holder, undefeated retired boxer Mayweather names also popped. 


But of all possible foes, Pacquiao have said that Marquez is above them all. A fifth bout is his chief priority.
In a recent talk with Freddie Webb and Boyet Sison (hosts of sports radio program DZMM’s fastbreak), Pacquiao detailed He wants to get Marquez in Manila.


Pacquiao have asked Department of Tourism (DOT) secretary Wanda Corazon to fund the competition at the end of the year with $60 Million.


“Approximately sabi ko sa kanya nasa 3 o 2.5 billion. Kasi plano ko mag-rematch kay Marquez tapos dito ko dalhin si Marquez sa Pilipinas,”  “Maganda kasi pag kami naglaban, hindi takbu-takbuhan.”  Pacquiao


The Mexican warrior Juan Manuel Marquez is now 43 who were last seen in the boxing ring on May 2014 with a Unanimous Decision win over Mike Alvarado.
We have seen both rivals fought 4 times. A controversial draw back in 2004. Two close verdicts in 2008 and 2011 won by Pacquiao. And lastly a brutal KO that shook the boxing world courtesy of Marquez in 2012.


While Pacquiao have plans in getting a last dance with Marquez, the legendary Mexican warrior shows no interest to it. What Marquez believed is that He was got held-up three times. Now He claims he beat Pacquiao 4 times.


But anything can still happen. Marquez’s mind can still change. It depends on what Team Pacquiao can bring on the table.
It’s all about what Marquez could get. Pacquiao should have a great deal on mind to lure Marquez and redeem himself to close out his 2017 show with a style.
