For the first time in boxing history, when Manny Pacquiao and Juan Marquez get in the ring, instant replay will be used. That’s according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer. In an interview with a Las Vegas newspaper, Kizer said instant replay will only be used if there’s a “foul or a stoppage” that immediately ends the fight. However, it will not be used “to review knockdown calls.” Pacquiao and Marquez will fight on November 12 in Las Vegas.

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather would quite possibly be the most anticipated fight of any kind EVER. Hollywood could not have drawn up a better fight than this.
In one corner is the arrogant, flashy, but undefeated Floyd "money" Mayweather, and in the other corner is the golden boy of boxing, Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao.
Something's got to give!
It's not a matter of if this fight will happen—it's when. There is simply too much money on the table for this fight not to happen.
The build-up for this match has been going on for quite a few years now. From the "ridiculous" demands that Mayweather has set for this match, many fans have agreed that Mayweather does not want to fight and that he is a coward.
As a result, Manny Pacquiao seems like the favorite when it does happen. read more...
