And the truth will set you free, now eat it and die. http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/3317/borneo-showcase-chris-john-juan-manuel-marquez/ Offered $1.5 million to fight Morales....JMM ducked him. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2135889 following Marquez's easy decision victory against Victor Polo on May 7, duBoef said Top Rank offered Marquez $1.5 million to fight Erik Morales this fall on HBO PPV. DuBoef said the Marquez camp asked for $3.5 million, a figure even the popular Morales has never been guaranteed for a fight.
Marquez's career has suffered some chronic mis-managment. Shame as he is one of the best boxers ever to live.
gonzarelli is such a moron. ask him why jmm turned down pac and opted for 30 k he will hide his face in jmm's ass congratulations, you just owned a pacteron LOL
With as hard as Marquez fights he should really be making a lot more, but I doubt he's complaining as this is by far his biggest payday to date.
First of all, consider the source, in this case TOP RANK. JMM and Bereinstein have been personas non-grata at Top Rank since the PAC/JMM sequel fell through and they have been pretty vocal about it, so anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt. Think for yourself, don't believe everything you read:deal
Use the left side of your brain for once. Arum used to be JMM's promoter, why would he hate him so much?
Bottom line for me......the less JMM makes for this Mayweather fight, the hungrier he will be and the harder he will fight....... JMM SHOCK THE WORLD!!!
Previous report by ESPN's Dan Rafael mentioned JMM's purse as "almost $4 million".... So it's $3 million point something... Could be a 80-20 split... .
