Pacquiao Wins Fight Against Marquez (November 12, 2011)

By

Filipino boxing champ and Saranggani congressman Manny Pacquiao won the match against the Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in the fight held on November 12, 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao was declared the winner via majority decision after a very close fight that lasted 12 rounds.

This was the third fight between the two boxers. Their 2004 match ended in a draw while in 2008, their fight ended in a split decision in favor of Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao was guaranteed to receive $20-M for this fight, and that's win or lose. That doesn't include the sum he would make on HBO's Pay Per View. It was said that Pacquiao's fights are among those that register the highest income for the cable channel, so we can only imagine how much money he would bring home.

Filipino-American and American Idol 10 finalist Thia Megia sang the US National Anthem before the fight. The Philippine National Anthem, on the other hand, was sung by Filipino-Canadian and YouTube sensation Maria Aragon.
