Marco Antonio BarreraHow is it possible that Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez, two marquee Mexican fighters who have circled each other for years, have somehow avoided clashing before now? Their 12-round dream fight is set for March 17 at 6PM at Mandalay Bay, with the WBC Super Featherweight Championship on the line.

Barrera (63-4, 42 KOs) would love this win to cap a storied 17-year career that includes world championships in three weight classes. But to get there he'll have to beat a stellar technician in Marquez (46-3-1, 35 KOs), who has held the featherweight championship of the world twice.

Tickets to Barrera vs Marquez are priced at $400, $300, $200, $100 and $50.
