Press Release: Manny Pacquiao will arrive in Los Angeles this evening for the 'Unfinished Business' press conference with world 130-pound champion Juan Manuel Marquez at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday. This fight will take place at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino on Saturday, March 15, 2008, giving both men a chance to improve upon the first result, a draw.  "I have a lot of respect for Marquez and I know he will be in his very best condition," Pacquiao said. "Manny knows he is going into the fight of his fight of his career, taking on Marquez who is driven by the fact he is fighting for all of Mexico," said Bob Arum of Top Rank. "There isn't a fight I've wanted more than this one," Marquez said. "Pacquiao knows what happened in our first fight - He won the first round, I won the next 11." After the press conference, Pacquiao said he will remain in Los Angeles and work with chief trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym. The Marquez vs. Pacquiao 'Unfinished Business' will be available on HBO Pay Per View. Top Rank and Golden Boy are promoting.
