Pacquiao vs Marquez IV egging for Philippine Independence Day Celebration

EXCLUSIVE HOT POTATO via HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA  -  If it's Pacquiao on the national screen, it is safe to say his appearance definitely carries the seed of political implications. Nothing less!

HOT INSERT: Why Roach not passing even after 7 years at Marquez's Science School of Boxing

Yes, forget about Cinco de Mayo, the biggest Mexican Independence Day Celebration, to favor Juan Manuel Marquez over Manny Pacquiao's national fervor in choosing as to which date they should stage their fourth encounter. After Top Rank Godfather Robert "Bob" Arum gave Marquez that hefty check from his trilogy with Pacquiao, Marquez would not hesitate to submit to Top Rank's wishes. It's still clear Pacquiao has the upperhand in the negotiation in choosing the best date for their rematch, even after that controvertial decision Pacquiao garnered over his longtime nemesis. Afterall, it's Pacquiao who brings in the best financial package to Marquez and his family.

"It's going to be Pacquiao vs. Marquez IV on June 9," says one of the top cohorts of Team Pacquiao who consented to be interviewed on condition of anonymity. "Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is not going to happen this soon. Marquez fight is a better immediate alternative for Pacquiao. Pacquiao needs to silence Marquez convincingly, especially after that close fight in their trilogy."

"I do not know why Manny (Pacquiao) prefers June 9 to fight Marquez, but he has his own reason," he adds.

The 114th Philippine Independence Day falls on a Tuesday, June 12 next year. In the US, it is going to be celebrated on the weekend right before the said calendar date, if it does not fall on a weekend. So, it's just perfect to tap June 9, Saturday, for the Pacquiao vs. Marquez IV, preempting the national consciousness of the Maharlikans and the rest of the bloodlines in the Philippines and other parts of the earth.

Sure, Pacquiao needs that date to revive and to rally behind his political endeavor and empowerment. He knows his stock goes downward slope from his far less convincing win and performance over Marquez. It definitely translates something devastating on his political career at the national level. It's indeed pathetic. No need to debate. At which time, Marquez would feel much different physiologically, to Pacquiao's advantage, so to speak.

For Pacquiao, time heals his return and time becomes his best friend. For Marquez, time is his worst enemy; that aging process gets into his skin and bones.

Nearing the fourth decade of existence gets one to know more of his self and his sudden changes of his physiological functions.

Marquez would become the highest paid sacrificial goat, not lamb, to enhance Pacquiao's political ascendacy.
