By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing - Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III is this Saturday on HBO Pay-Per-View. It maybe felt as unfortunate that this fight is being shown after two disastrous back to back Boxing PPV events in Chad Dawson vs. Bernard Hopkins, and Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz.

These events were no doubt horrible and if you are like me, it ended up being a disgustingly poor way to spend my hard earned dollars. Hey, I am not rich to begin with, and watching the sport I love has hurt me in more ways than one in the last few months. My pocket book feels as if it was gutted in some kind of bizarre back alley abortion that went terribly wrong.

Yes, I will be buying Pacquiao vs. Marquez... but you got to wonder if others aren't hurt and discourgaged over the last few PPVs.

Boxing Promoter Bob Arum who is putting on Saturday's event is a little weary over the fact of two poor events being shown on PPV before his. Speaking to Steve Kim of MaxBoxing, Arum stated: “Obviously, we would've wanted the fights that preceded Manny's fights to be barnburners but you can't always get what you want.”

Arum added: “Will it hurt our pay-per-view that the Mayweather fight had the bizarre ending, etc.? I don't know. It might but what can you do? As far as the other fight is concerned (Dawson vs Hopkins), nobody watched it anyways. No harm, no foul."

(Dawson vs Hopkins reportedly did awful with only about 50,000 PPV buys.)

Pacquiao vs. Marquez III will go down at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and carried on TV, live with HBO-PPV (pay-per-view). Check with your local cable provider or satellite dish receiver for purchasing price and start times.
