Manny Pacquiao, a 16-year professional boxer, is confident that he will win against Juan Manuel Marquez this coming Saturday inside the luxurious MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. His opponent Marquez is also positive of pulling the biggest upset in the sport because this is the first time he trained very hard for a fight. 18-year veteran Marquez believes his training regimen including the help of his new condition coach Angel Hernandez will give him the extra boost to take on the speed and power of Pacman.
As part of the tradition of the sport, the fans inside the fight venue welcome the boxers. Named as “Grand Arrival”, the boxers will step down from their promotional buses and walk through a jam-pack crowd inside the lobby of the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.
All the images below are captured by Chris Farina, the official photographer of Top Rank Promotions, the promotional company that promotes both Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. The weigh-in of Pacquiao vs Marquez is on November 11, 2011 and hours later will be the last episode of the Pacquiao vs Marquez 24/7 series.

Weigh in of Pacquiao-Marquez on 11-11-11
Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will have their final weigh in on November 11, 2011 or 11-11-11. Many feng shui experts believe that this is going to be a lucky day for many. Expected to weigh not above 144 lbs, Pacquiao and Marquez are going to give part of their purse to the opponent if ever they are over the agreed weight limit.
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is going to protect his WBO Welterweight Crown against Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12, 2011 inside the luxurious MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. For those who do not know, the normal welterweight weight limit in boxing is 147 lbs. Because the last time Marquez fought at the 147 lbs class - against Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2009 - he did not perform well, Pacquiao agreed to make the cut a little lower for the advantage of Juan Manuel.
Marquez is consistently saying that he won the first two fights that he and Manny fought atop the boxing ring. He even wore a shirt, which has a print "Marquez beat Pacquiao twice", after winning via TKO against Michael Katsidis.

Official Referee and Judges of the Pacman-Dinamita Fight
Six days to go before the much-awaited fight between Filipino Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Mexican Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez. Keith Kizer, the Executive Director of the NSAC (Nevada State Athletic Commission) informed the public that the official referee of the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 is Tony Weeks while the official Judges seated at ringside are Robert Hoyle, Glenn Trowbridge and Dave Moretti.
Tapped by NSAC to be the third man in the ring in the Pacman vs JuanMa fight, the commission believes Referee Weeks is capable of making the fight exciting. He will see to it that the fight has minimum foul plays such as head butt, stepping on the foot and low blows because he sees them fast and penalize the boxer if he commits a foul.
Born on August 18, 1956 in the United States, Referee Weeks now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, minutes away from the venue of the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3.
