Manny Pacquiao is returning to HBO. After a stint with Showtime Boxing / CBS Sports in his fight with Shane Mosley last May, Pacquiao’s incoming third fight with Juan Manuel Marquez this November 12, 2011 will be on HBO Pay-Per-View. The move is a boon for HBO, since it will now air fights involving Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. within two months of each other. Mayweather will fight Victor Ortiz for the World Boxing Council welterweight title on September 17 in Las Vegas on HBO Pay-Per-View.
