I wouldnt be against that fight but Im not sure JMM believes he can win....it would be interesting to see how this version of JMM fairs.
Wouldn't blame JMM one bit if he decided to go for the money. But only a ****** would not understand what beating Bradley and taking that belt would do to JMM's legacy. 5 Div champ. Puts him in the boxing stratosphere.
I think the 4th fight settled everything. Especially now that JMM is no way near as fast as he was, the only way he'd win is by KO. The only way Pacquiao will win is by outpointing Marquez and being as safe as he could ever be in a boxing ring. If Pacquiao trades with Marquez like in the 4th fight, Pac will get KO'd. Simple. It solves nothing. Marquez will almost be 41 years old! lol ancient. His body would have aged much more as well.
:rastaWhich is precisely why Marquez-Pacquiao5 will get outdone easily on the PPV #'s ratings by the Mayweather-Alvarez fight, which will go down that same exact month if all goes according to plan!
arum just wants to get paid the most if somebody offered him 200million for pacquiao and marquez to fight in somebodys garage the fight would happen.
I think Pacquiao might be coming back sooner if he's fighting in Dallas, since his suspension is from the NSAC.
Manny will get his ass knocked out again. JMM is getting older but he still has that ring IQ and Manny will still make the same mistakes. JMM landed that same shot several times and he barely missed or mis timed that shot several times as well. JMM should go get some mega bucks and fight Floyd and roll out. He closed that chapter on Manny.
Beating Pacquiao by viscous KO has done more for JMM's legacy than a win over Bradley could ever hope to do. Beating Bradley @ this point in his career is meaningless. Plus, it's a fight only the hardcore boxing audience wants to see. If JMM is smart, he'll fight Pacquiao and/or Mayweather then retire...
:deal JMM and Pac should both tell Arum to stick it. It's easy to say JMM would earn maybe $10m, but he should earn the lion's share, having won the last fight. Truth be told, Arum is the only one truly profiting from these two guys fighting each other, and all the money in the world won't change the fact that Arum ain't the one being punched in the face (now THAT would be a PPV worth buying). **** that greedy old *******. Besides, any fight for JMM now would be an anticlimactic step down from KTFO Pac.
On one hand, Id advise Pac to stay well away from Marquez, which he probably should have done after their 2nd fight.... but on the other, Pacs a pure warrior, no doubt he will try and try and try to defeat JMM.... and I cant blame him for that mentality. Hes in a tough spot..... its hard for a champion like Pac to just accept defeat like that Im sure. As for JMM, I understand taking a 5th Pac fight, for the money.... but really, as a boxing fan Id rather see him in so many other fights right now. Garcia, Bradley, Mathysse, Rios, the possibilities are amazing.
