Skycable Season Pass airs live Mayweather-Marquez

-

MANILA, Philippines - The Skycable Season Pass will telecast live the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Juan Manuel Marquez showdown dubbed “Number One/Numero Uno: Mayweather vs Marquez” on Sept. 20 starting at 8 a.m.

Beamed live from the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Mayweather-Marquez duel has been billed as one of the top boxing draws this year with the 12-round bout expected to be another classic in boxing history.

Mayweather, the former world pound-for-pound king and No. 1 in the welterweight division, is coming out of retirement to fight Marquez, the top fighter in the lightweight division who is regarded as one of the world’s top counterpunchers.

Both fighters boast of impressive records, making the upcoming bout even more exciting. Mayweather is undefeated with a record of 39 wins and six world titles in five weight divisions.

Marquez, on the other hand, has a record of 50 wins, four losses and one draw.

Meanwhile, defending champion Chris John and 2000 Olympic silver medalist Rocky Juarez headline the undercard of the Mayweather-Marquez fight in a rematch of their Feb. 28 clash for the WBA featherweight championship.

Lightweight world champion Michael Katsidis will face US Olympian Vicente Escobedo for the WBO interim lightweight championship title, while former undisputed welterweight world champion Zab Judah will take on veteran Antonio Diaz in the other match.

The Skycable Season Pass Event will be telecast live with no commercial breaks and will be available to Skycable digital subscribers in Metro Manila and Pilipino Cable subscribers in the CAMANAVA area with analog boxes.
