Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire Jr. are clearly the best and most popular Filipino boxers this generation has ever seen – and both were born in General Santos City, southern Philippines – yet they have never been in the same fight card together!
But that is about to change this coming November 5 because for the first time in history, these two will finally be headlining a fight card together! This is surely exciting news for their fans – and definitely reason enough for more Filipinos to subscribe for the fight’s pay-per-view.

While Donaire will be defending his title against Mexican American Jessie Magdaleno, Pacquiao will face off against Jessie Vargas, another Mexican-American.
