PREPARE FOR THIS SURE TO BE LEGENDARY BATTLE WITH GREATEST HITS, BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE AND EXPERT PREDICTIONS AVAILABLE ON XFINITY ON DEMAND, XFINITYTV.COM AND THROUGH THE XFINITYTV APP

What: On Saturday, November 12, Xfinity digital video customers can have a ring side seat to the third installment in one of sweet science’s most fascinating, fierce and action-packed rivalries, when Fighter of the Decade Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao defends his title against Three-Division World Champion Juan Manuel Marquez. The event is available through XfinityTV Pay-Per-View live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The first two meetings of one of modern boxing’s most evenly matched rivalries were memorable contests with very different results. In the first 2004 bout, Filipino superstar Pacquiao, an Eight-Division World Champion, made his mark early, dropping his Mexican-born foe three times in the first round, a disaster from which Marquez, a Third-Division title holder, battled back to a 12-round draw. Their 2008 rematch was a somewhat controversial split-decision won by Pacquiao, seemingly decided by a single knockdown landed by Pacquiao in Round 3, though Marquez out landed the Champ with punches.
