    FOR THE RECORD: Juan Manuel Marquez has given Pac his biggest paydays pre-DLH and post-DLH.

    And now his name recognition is sky high thanks to that one-for-the-ages
    concussive KO.

    Anyone suggesting JMM does not deserve a huge pay day is simply full-o-shite!

    50/50 for the 5th fight sound reasonable.

    if they fought in Asia or wherever Fantasy Island they want to fight it, I'm sure it would do much better box office wise than in tired Las Vegas.

    I think Pac would go for this. I feel he is so desperate to avenge that KO loss.

    I think Arum's role is to lower JMM demands but whatever it is the minimum that JMM will settle for, Arum will agree to it and get the fight signed.

    I think a 5th fight will be worth more than $40 mill definitely.

    If Pac truly wants to avenge the BS Bradley loss and his KO to JMM, he will take short money.

    If you're trying to say Juan wasn't, you're the one who cannot be taken seriously. Manny could've been dropped way earlier than the last second of he sixth.
    Re-watch the fight and then do it over again. You missed Juan's altered efforts.

    You have a fair point with the $ aspect though. Marquez and Bob need to work out a more realistic figure if this fight does move forward.

    Assuming this fight does take place, I hope Marquez asks for team Pacquiao to go down to 140 or even lower.
    The weight issue is what has made Marquez the better man in the last two bouts.

    1.5 million buys at 60 bucks a pop =90 million dollars

    There is most certainly 20+ million for each fighter.

    The 3rd fight generated 1.4 million.

    The 4th fight was competing against a free UFC card I believe, and the fans had been turned off with Pacquiao's previous 2 fights being bogus decisions. It still drew 1.15 million.

    A 5th fight is almost certain to surpass the 1.4 million of the 3rd fight as people now understand Marquez is no joke.

    Arum needs to guarantee both fighters 20 million and upside of the PPV's.
    The only way Arum does'nt make money with such a guarantee is if it sells less PPV than the 4th fight, which is not going to happen.

    Wonder if Marquez will be allowed to use his steroid expert strength trainer who is the very best at cheating on drug tests? Man, this guy admitted to give drugs to athletes and told on his friends to keep from going to prison. Marquez should be ashamed.................Hell, it was all over the news..........

    At least Marquez is willing to take the random blood and urine tests, Manny ducked them for $40.000.000

    :lol::rofl:lol:
