MANILA, Philippines – The brisk ticket sales for the Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez fight in December proves that the Filipino champ remains popular among boxing fans, according to a fight analyst.
Examiner’s Michael Marley said fans are still expecting the Filipino congressman to come up with an exciting fight, especially against his greatest rival Marquez.
“The Pacquiao Popularity Well has hardly gone dry. People still want to believe that Pacman can produce a crowd-pleasing scrap, one worth their hard-earned live gate or PPV (pay-per-view) TV investment,” said Marley.
Top Rank earlier reported that more than 13,000 tickets were sold since they went on sale on Friday.
Marley said the strong ticket sales also showed Marquez’s drawing power, proving that the counterpunching specialist remains Mexico’s most popular boxer.
