Even though Pacquiao won their most recent fight in a close decision, Pacquiao contends Márquez has insisted he won the fight. In an interview with ESPN, Pacquiao said he chose to fight Márquez one more time in order to set the record straight. The non-title bout will be fought at the welterweight division.
At age 33 to Márquez’s 39, Pacquiao will be the younger man in the ring. Pacquiao holds the better head-to head record, as he is 2-0-1 in fights against the Mexican. When they last met in November of 2011 Pacquiao won in a controversial majority decision. Their first fight, on May 8 2004, had the featherweight championship on the line and ended in a draw. They met again in 2008, with Pacquiao winning in a split decision. Their lifetime record is startlingly similar; Pacquiao holds a lifetime 54-4-2 record with 38 KOs, while Márquez is 54-6-1 with 39 KOs.
