ARLINGTON, TX - Quotes from the Dallas press conference today.

Manny Pacquiao
It's nice to be back at Cowboys Stadium. I want to say thanks to all the fans. I'm not only concerned for Filipinos but all boxing fans. We want the fans happy to see our performance November 13th. Antonio Margarito will work hard. It is not my intention to fight another Mexican but these things happen.

Antonio Margarito

It's time to put Mexico back on a winning streak against Manny Pacquiao. This is not a rain but a big tornado. Freddie Roach made a name for himself using Manny Pacquiao and after this fight everyone will know Roberto Garcia. This is for Mexico. I'm bringing back the title!

Roberto Garcia (Margarito trainer)

10 weeks to go before the fight. I will prepare him (Margarito) to win this fight and put a beating on Manny Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter and great person but between now and the fight November 13th we can not be friends - we are enemies. We were friendly just to get through the press tour. We can be friends after the fight.

Freddie Roach (Pacquiao trainer)

It's going to be a big fight in the big house (Cowboys Stadium). The Tornado will be downsized to a tropical storm. Don't miss it. Thank you.

Mark Taffet (HBO PPV president)
We were fortunate to be here in March and we are back again November 13th. Manny has been in 12 pay per view events earning 6.2 million buys and $320 million in revenues. 24/7 will be back. It has earned 12 Emmy Awards and this is the fourth time for Manny to be featured. We go October 23rd, October 30th, November 6th and the night before the fight, November 12th. This fight will be available in over 80 million households.
