  If the fundamental Planck scale is near a TeV, then TeV scale black holes
should be produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC where \sqrt{s} = 14
TeV. As the temperature of the black holes can be ~ 1 TeV we also expect
production of Higgs bosons from them via Hawking radiation. This is a different
production mode for the Higgs boson, which would normally be produced via
direct pQCD parton fusion processes. In this paper we compare total cross
sections and transverse momentum distributions d\sigma/dp_T for Higgs
production from black holes at the LHC with those from direct parton fusion
processes at next-to-next-to-leading order and next-to-leading order
respectively. We find that the Higgs production from black holes can be larger
or smaller than the direct pQCD production depending upon the Planck mass and
black hole mass. We also find that d\sigma/dp_T of Higgs production from black
holes increases as a function of p_T which is in sharp contrast with the pQCD
predictions where d\sigma/dp_T decreases so we suggest that the measurement of
an increase in d\sigma/dp_T as p_T increases for Higgs (or any other heavy
particle) production can be a useful signature for black holes at the LHC.
