This was the third fight between the two stars, and the long awaited return of Manny Pacquiao to HBO. Up for grabs, the welterweight title. The fight was up against the major league baseball playoffs, so the promoters required a 4-day, three continent tour just before the fight in order to get the return they hoped for. The fight did make the money as both fighters gave everything they had for 12 rounds, each one refusing to go down while taking punch after punch. In the end, all fans had to rise to their feet, as it appeared to everyone that their favorite boxer had won as the fight appeared to be a draw. The judges awarded the crown to Manny, prompting Marquez’s fans to throw all sorts of things towards the stage. In the end though, the judges did not think it was that close, as two judges awarded the fight to Manny while the third judge called it a draw (later apologizing for missing the mark on that decision), making Marquez’s fans just seem all that much angrier for nothing.
