Ask Marquez why he fought for 30k in Indonesia, when Pac offered a rematch for $700K. Go figure out who is the Duck?
Don't worry the JMM Pac fight will happen. And when Pac finally stopped him in 3 rds. I know you will use the old excuse, JMM past his prime & JMM Shot/Old. Can you tell me now if JMM is old or Shot fighter???
if your talking about the bigger draw that time it was PAC, and him being exciting and yes, a "new name" for the fans, and if you were JMM's managers you would recognize a good offer, knowing that $700k is more that enough if it meant defeating PAC and upgrading your value...yes people recognized JMMs talent but his drawing appeal is nothing compared to how PAC can draw a crowd while fighting lesser opponents..
ok..to you maybe he wasnt a draw back then, while i believe he was because of the fans sudden interest in PAC, ...no use arguing anymore, i just hope that JMM finds a good negotiator who knows how boxing business goes, because PAC has one and it doesnt even involves titles...
MAB was certainly a draw when PAC beat him. So I think its fair to say that PAC would have some sort of drawing power after beating someone of stature like MAB. People saw how exciting PAC could be and would certainly want to find out if PAC was more than a one hit wonder.... PAC after beating MAB was already a draw! JMM with his 2 belts and his reputation of being boring in fights is not a draw. ANd if JMM is really confident, after falling 3 times in the first round, that he would school PAC again he would've accept the rematch offer so that he would able to open possibilities of fighting MAB and Erik.
sorry to crash in...... what will be your excuse if pac put the 34 year old jmm into submission? just wondering :hey
Huh? :huh Pac going for MAB gives him more money than fighting JMM. JMM fighting John gives him less than 5% of what he would have gotten against Pac. Think about it, genius..:rofl
as i remember, both pac and jmm were to get 750K for this fight. prob is jmm asked for 1.5M instead since he was supposedly the beltholder although pac was clearly the better draw during that time. in short, jmm priced himself out of this fight and gave arum the opening to put morales in there instead. it was jmm's and berestain's fault that this immediate rematch didn't happen. and then we hear them accept 30K to fight chris john in indonesia. :-(
actually Pac is the most underratted fighter on ESB. You wanna see a fighter whos fans overrate him like he was god when in fact he's far from it look no further than Floyd Mayweather/
