Juan Manuel Marquez Rejects Joan Guzman, OKs Rocky Juarez As Sept. 15 Foe!

This is gonna be a boxing exhibition by JMM, Juarez is to slow and plodding and unlike Barrios doest throw enough punches to pose a threat to JMM. should have gone with Guzman. Guzman has a huge Dominican following and being a NY fighter has a good following in the east.

 

seriously? when were you hoping this? i mean, all of us thought that jmm was fighting barrios until today. since when were you hoping that jmm would fight guzman?

 

.....and the thing is that it's reported that JMM's team rejected Guzman, and no report as to why????
.....making it seem that JMM is afraid to fight Guzman.

We have no idea how the offer was presented.
Most likely it was presented as just a replacement fight for Barrios with the financial side of it remaining the same.

I'm sorry folks, but if I'm fighting Guzman, I'm going to demand a significant amount more.

.....add to that, who rejected Guzman and under what terms?
Under the new agreement for rights to Pac by Bob Arum and GBP, there would have to be a co-promotion between the two sides if they're fighting fighters that are promoted by each promotional team.
.....meaning GBP would have to share the profits with Bob Arum for a fight with Guzman.
Last I heard, Rocky Juarez is promoted by GBP, which means all the profits stay inhouse with GBP.
A fight with Guzman and the profits by the promoters would have to be split.
It may well be that it's GBP is who turned down Guzman, why share the PPV profits with Bob Arum for a fight with Guzman, when GBP has a viable opponent in house where they get to keep all the money!

 

exactly...
and guzman is a badass but he beat a fatass barrios..juarez can atleast say he beat barrera once....

 

Barrios, Guzman, Juarez, Valero, Soto, whatever. My first choices were Pac II or MAB II. Anything else is a consolation prize.

 

well on this we dont agree. especially after dumbgo made a thread clowning morales after his third fight with pacman. what was classless was he should a picture of morales in a stretcher after the fight and he somehow thought that was funny.:-(

 

i have stopped taking marquez seriously after the john fight.

 

oh dear

 

If this is true, FACT is that the Marquez camp REFUSED to fight Joan Guzman and instead will offer a shot to the undeserving Rocky Juarez, who already has had TWO unsuccessful chances at the WBC belt. Now he's gonna get a third??? Marquez is gonna walk right through him 12 rounds to 0 in a very, VERY boring decision.

Again if true, Marquez just BLATANTLY DUCKED Guzman FOR THE RECORD. Also, Sulaiman once again getting a free pass to be above the rules without anybody saying **** from the media. Disgusting.

 

and believe it or not, juarez is more recognized than guzman....

 

Maybe more recognized in terms of the public knowing who he is, but as far as Marquez proving he's P4P and wants to fight the best? 10 out of 10 people who know boxing will tell you Guzman is the better fight for someone who claims to be the "real champ at 130." Then unify!

 

only an IDIOT manager/promoter would let his top fighter face Guzman without a full training camp preparing for him.

This fight JMM-Juarez has no business on PPV though, and neither did JMM-Barrios.

 

I see that as shallow excuse buddy. JMM has been training since two months ago for his fight with Barrios. It's Only August 8 and that's a good more than 30 days before Sept 15 to shift and change strategy for Guzman. :yep

It's hard for fans of the sport to believe any justification from JMM camp at this point since JMM already refused two big fights before (a 700 K offer to rematch Pac and a $ 1.2 Mil offer to fight Morales . . . instead he opted to fight Cris John for 35 K)

 

Guzman is the biggest threat to Pac in the division. After he beats Soto who is a good fighter hopefully he wil get his shot at Pac and not old mexicans.

 

can you honestly say if you were his manager you would have hom switch in mid-training camp from preparing for a brawler to preparing for Guzman? If so then I hope you never become a manager cause youd wreck some careers.

I do agree that declining the Pac rematch was a bonehead move on Nacho's part. . . just beyond dumb. But this move makes sense.
