Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez to Meet with Pinoy Fans at the Quirino Grandstand this Saturday, September 3



This Saturday, September 3, GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) ushers Pinoy boxing fans to the prelude of the third face-off between Filipino boxing pride Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Mexican bet Juan Manuel Marquez.



Both fighters venture on a whirlwind four-city world tour covering Manila, New York, Los Angeles and Mexico with Top Rank honcho Bob Arum to promote their upcoming bout set on November 13 (Philippine time) to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.



GMA Network is the exclusive broadcast partner, Radio and TV, for both the World Press Tour event as well as the historic fight itself in November.



Pacquiao, dubbed as the "greatest fighter of all time," welcomes another heated battle with Marquez after a draw in their first duel in 2004, and a tight split decision that favored him in their second match in 2008 to hopefully put a close to their "unfinished business."



GMA Network prepared a grand line up of festivities at the Quirino Grandstand--in a special on-ground event to be hosted by Dingdong Dantes, with the pop trio La Diva singing the Philippine national anthem, while the UST singers perform the Mexican national anthem.



An all-star cast led by Kapuso artists Ogie Alcasid, Iza Calzado, Jay R, Kyla, Rachel Ann Go, Mark Herras, Kris Bernal, Aljur Abrenica, and many others will grace the event which will air live from 2:30 to 4:00 PM over GMA-7. The special will also be seen live and exclusive via internet video streaming on GMA News Online (www.gmanews.tv).



The crowd will be further treated to a taped as live episode of Manny, Many Prizes, the Saturday game show hosted by Pacquiao himself. Joining Pacman are his co-hosts Paolo Contis, Rhian Ramos, Gladys Guevarra, Pekto, Moymoy Palaboy, and Onyok Velasco along with guest stars Jinkee Pacquiao, Wency Cornejo, Jett Pangan, Imelda Papin, Claire dela Fuente, and many others. The episode will be telecast same day at 6:00 PM.



Tickets for Manny Many Prizes will be distributed via three booths located along South Drive, Quirino Grandstand (Museo Pambata side) beginning 6:00 AM, but spectators will be allowed entry as early as 8:00 AM.



Catch the opening of the Pacquiao-Marquez World Press Tour this Saturday, September 3. The Saturday morning Manila Hotel Press Con featuring the two fighters will air live on GMA News TV (GNTV) at 10:00 AM, while exclusive interviews with the two fighters will air over GMA's 24 Oras, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Startalk, Showbiz Central, and flagship AM station DZBB 594 khz.



The main event, the much awaited boxing match, will air straight from Las Vegas on November 13 only on GMA-7.
