If Marquez had gotten the W against Pacquiao this last time...

Marquez would not of moved to number 1, he would be moved to number 2 behind Floyd Mayweather Junior who'd of been re-instated as one.

The Mega-fight would of lost even more luster than it has through Pacquaio's poor performance in the Marquez fight and if Pac wanted it he'd need to accept a deal much lower than a $40 mil flat fee or even 60/40. Would his ego allow that to happen? I don't think so, so it'd wreck the chances of this fight.

There was also a re-match clause in the contract, meaning we'd be gearing up for Pac - Marquez 4 right now.

 

Why are people so stuck on this 40 mill or no to 50-50? It would be a bad move to say yes to 50-50 (or he would take less like Pac did) before negotiations actually begins. The fight will get made when Arum tells Pac it can be made . . . not a moment sooner. The fact is that Bob has been making every excuse in the book for this fight not to happen for the past 2 years because he wants to milk Manny for every penny he can.

If JMM would have won on the cards it would not make a difference on team money's side. He would still want the fight but would have even more leverage and offer less money. the change would be on Arums side. Pac might have retired if he lost, Arum would want to cash that final chip against PBF if Manny still wanted to fight. If Manny did want to fight he might want to have a fourth fight with JMM to regain his lustre.

BTW PBF regained #1 p4p after beating Ortrees and Pac looked really bad against JMM. Until then I had them 1a and 1b

 

had manny take his loss and not rob Marquez he would have been able to justify a Marquez rematch. the idiot decided to rob Marquez now and will get **** for it if he rematches

 

there wont be a mega fight...pac-jmm 4 more likely...

 

Floyd wouldnt want the fight anymore if Pac loses. Also, JMM would not be #1 over Floyd

 

how could he be #1 over a person who schoolded him in every round?

 

are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?

 

disagree. im sayin how can marquez be #1 if he lost to floyd not too long ago.

 

Actually, I think the way things played out (Pac looking terrible, losing the fight, yet getting an undeserved W) is the ideal situation for May wanting to take the fight.

However, it still hasn't happened, so it looks unlikely to ever happen.

 

i think you misread what I wrote because I said that he wouldnt be

 

my bad. i misread

 

I think the Pac fight could still happen but it would be down the line. Pac would have to redeem himself with another win or 2 first or everyone would rip Floyd. He was even getting ripped some now and thats with a Pac win. They felt that he's only trying to fight now because Pac didnt look good. Imagine if Pac lost. Everyone wouldve been like, "now you wanna fight him". It wouldnt have been nearly as big.

Thats actually why Im one of the few guys who dont wanna see the fight right now. Id rather see Pac kill Bradley and make the fight massive again. Its still huge now but if Pac kills someone like Bradley then the fight is mega mega again

 

No
