Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez final press conference at Los Angeles is filled with outdoors of fun and ruckus. Fans from both camps of the Pacquiao vs Marquez 2 fight is side by side cheering for their favorites.

A Mexican mariachi band trumpets their farewell good luck music before the Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez press conference held at La Placita Olvera, an old section of the city where the first Mexican settlement was established in 1781, which is a California State Historic Landmark. A photo opportunity ensued before the Pacquiao vs Marquez 2 Presser speech commence.

Before long Manny Pacquaio enters the outdoor stage. "Manny, Manny, Manny," chanted the crowd. Hooting, jeering, booing from both sides erupted.

"Good Morning everybody," said Pacquiao in English, "I'm happy to be here, I know you like Marquez to win the fight. I think both of us train hard for this fight, you know. On Saturday..." Manny smiled and surveyed the crowd.

Many Mexican stalls and restaurants are located in La Placita Overa Street, so it is understandable that Marquez is a homecourt favorite. Even Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum was not spared by the homecourt hooting.

"Please watch this fight and don't miss it... I know Marquez is a good fighter... May the best man win." Manny spoke what looks like a memorized one sentence Spanish, thanked the crowd at the end of his speech, before passing the stage to Juan Manuel Marquez.

Mexico City native, and World Boxing Council (WBC) super-featherweight champion Marquez cap his last speech for the final Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 2 press conference with a large sombrero:
"To knock him out is going to be hard because he is very strong but if it goes the distance of 12 rounds, I have the endurance to pull off a win," said Marquez through translator and adviser Jaime Quintana.

"This would be the best Manny Pacquiao on Saturday and I believe that the best Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter in the world. And nobody can beat the best fighter in the world," said Top Rank boss Bob Arum who already has a fight lined up for Pacquiao sometime in June at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    Well, my humble opinion is Manny Pacquiao should fight again ,perhaps give valero a chance to fight him , the way he was given a chance before by barrera,In which he won and established himself and become a boxing superstar.

    As of now, Manny Pacquiao has no title. He's fight with Oscar Dela Hoya now, is a none title fight. Manny Paquiao need's a title now. A legitimate title
