BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who manages the boxing career of Manny Pacquiao; and Golden Boy Promotions President, Oscar dela Hoya, manager for Marc Antonio Barrera, led their respective camps at the Beverly Hills Hotel here, where the press conference was held Friday morning, August 10, to announce the rematch of two famous fighters to be held October 6 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In this forthcoming fight, Pacquiao will defend his Super Featherweight title against Barrera, who lost to "Pacman" in November 2003 in San Antonio, Texas.
Superstars Pacquiao and Barrera will collide in a 12-round super featherweight title fight. It will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Tickets are priced at $600, $400, $300, $200 and $100, which can be purchased at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino box office and all Las Vegas Ticketmaster locations (Smith's Food and Drug Centers, Macy's stores and Ritmo Latino).
The Pacquiao-Barrera fight, dubbed "Will to Win," is a battle between legendary three-division champions. Pacquiao (44-3-2, 35 KOs) of General Santos City, Philippines, defeated Barrera (63-5, 42 KOs) of Mexico City, Mexico, in their first exciting encounter in 2003, claiming the 'Baby Face Assasin's' featherweight title.
"Pacquiao is considered by many as boxing's pound for pound most exciting fighter of the world," as announced by Bob Arum during the press conference.
"Fighting Barrera is a career highlight for me," said Pacquiao. He added: "He has already beaten great world champions like Erik Morales, Naseem Hamed and Johnny Tapia and I know I am going to have to train harder that I ever have been before to beat him. But I am fully prepared to sacrifice and do everything necessary to beat him. And I will. It's going to be another great night for fight fans, especially for the Filipinos all over the world."
'Pacman' left Los Angeles for Cebu and immediately began practising at the Wacky Salud gym. Trainor Freddie Roach would follow soon. Hundreds of fans syrrounded the gym while Manny was doing the routine boxing practice, including shadow boxing.
Sexy Ara Mina Tangled in Pacman's Affair
Reports reaching the editorial offices of the MANILA-U.S. TIMES in Beverly Hills have it that there were rumors spreading rapidly about Ara Mina's alleged love connection with prized champion boxer, Manny Pacquiao. The tall tales ignited even more after Pacquiao left Los Angeles for Manila earlier than planned.
Interviewed by ABS-CBN's TV Patrol, Ara shared that she and Manny are just friends. Ara went on to list the shows she's performing in to back up her claim of not having any type of affair with Pacquiao -- "Los Angeles, Canada, San Diego, Las Vegas and San Francisco." She's hoping the rumors would go away so everyone could move on to concentrate on her upcoming tour, which starts on Friday, August 17, at the Pala Casino & Resort in Pala, California.
Ara Mina will be performing with the legendary Freddie Aguilar during Freddie's first US Concert Tour, accompanied by sexy comedian, Ella V of the Viva Hot Babes.
Ara hopes the rumors will die down since Manny is a happily married man, father, and international Filipino icon.
