This fight makes more money, and he was guaranteed $10m if he won, so that's what he should get, he won and Arum/Pac/Roach all know it. Will Pac have to take less money? If Pac doesn't take JMM or Mayweather he's getting laughed out of any P4P list, he becomes irrelevant.
Apart from the belt and Mexico thing, JMM is right. If they want the fourth fight, they should offer JMM a very generous split.
Marquez deserves around $10 million, and is likely to get it. This fight (IV) is likely to do very big numbers. Many casual fans thought III was going to be a mismatch. That won't be the case heading into IV. As far as fighting in Mexico? Not sure. Vegas makes so much money off of the Asian high-rollers that Pac brings in, as well as the many Filipinos that live in and around the Vegas area. If there is a Mexico equivalent of Vegas that is seen as appealing to Asian high rollers, then maybe. But that could be a tough sell. Maybe Marquez will settle for bringing a Mexican judge or two to Vegas, instead?
Paquiao shoule just tell JMM: Look, I beat you 2 times out of 3 with one draw. You're a whining crybaby ***** who has nearly zero marquee value, plus you're making stupidly unreasonable demands, and I have better fights out there. If you want to fight again, I offer you 5% and I expect an apology first for all your whining. Honestly, why don't you just retire your no name ass and **** off? I couldn't care less. That's the way he should handle Marquez.
Marquez ought to act a wee bit more dignified. I understand where he is coming from, but it was a close fight and while his frustration is understandable, this is a little bit too much. I thought he lost a narrow decision btw.
I think his demands can be met except ""Pacquiao admits that he lost"". The simplest demand will be the hardest to give in to.
But Pac is a gentleman and will give his opponent a fair shake...:smoke He isn't like super-safe Floyd when Oscar wanted an immediate rematch :good
He's fought him 3 times though. Enough is enough. Say what you want about the scoring, but most would agree the fights were close. Close going to the champion is standard procedure. This guy acts like he knocked paquiao down or out and is being robbed in 3 fights. He's a dishonorable whiner, and paquiao shouldn't waste his time on him and should focus on pursuing better more exciting fights like floyd or khan or some other more exciting fighter. The guy threatens to retire... let him retire. Paquiao should offer much less split than last time if he does decide to fight this fool. It's not like anyone even knows his name anyway.
What they should really do is pay him 10M just for screwing JMM over 3 times. Then they should mayweather get beat then fight JMM for another beating. I don't want to see a 4th fight. We all know JMM is the better fighter. But I can't begrudge the great man his long overdue big time payouts
He was on the back-pedal in the last five rounds...you call that a fighter? :smoke Boxer, probably.....fighter.... NO :good
NICE............ If I was JMM I would do the same..... well maybe I could drop the fight to take place in Mexico but I would definetly jack up my prize...
