Of the three previous fights, there was a tie in 2004 and then Pacquiao won a split decision in 2008 and last year, when Marquez said he was robbed.

Answering the call of the last great Mexican champion, to the thousands of fans cared little more than two hours they had to wait to enter the Arena Mexico City, where they were offered free access to what would be the presentation of combat.

Marquez is the champion even without the title and so I came to give my
support, "said Marco Suarez, a 21-year-old, who along with four of his teammates took the morning off to go to the promotional event.

On a stage set up in the middle of the arena, a Pacquiao visibly tired by the bustle of a five-day tour has made stops
promotional in Los Angeles and New York, sat in a chair beside his eyes downcast Marquez before uttering his only words of the day.

Too bad I have to go back to fight a Mexican, but things like that happen, "Pacquiao said. "While it is an honor to fight a great Mexican warrior as Marquez is a tough fighter and I'm going to prepare for a big fight."

The bout will take place on December 8 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"Thanks for the support, I'm very excited to be here with all of you, know that the fight is going to dedicate, I'll put up the name of Mexico, as I have always done," said Marquez. "Thanks to Manny for taking this fight because we stole it last."

Marquez (01/06/54, 39 KOs) just had a fight with the Ukrainian Ukrainian Serhiy Fedchenko in April after losing to the Philippines for the last time.

At 39 years old, the prime of his career seems to be already in the past.

"I beat him three times before and I'll get back to winning again, now more clear to leave no doubt," said the Mexican.
