JMM says: "A lot has been said that if I sign with Golden Boy, the third fight with Manny Pacquiao will not happen. But I do not know if that's something that the people still want to see. Right now I'm in no hurry. I liked the offer that they gave me and I will study it. I am calm. I know that I deserve good things for everything that I have done and I am ready to continue in boxing with a firm step." Could this be an indication that Pac-FMJ has already been made?
No, it indicated that GBP made him a very serious offer, and, if the Pac fight cant get made, he will have many other attractive options, and some good money.
Golden boy seemingly losing the battle over Donaire is trying to keep the big names they have it would seem. Would still love to see the JMM vs Pac fight but JMM can't bank the rest of his career on one fight he may not even get. Waits for the JMM is ducking Pac posts. :yep
If he can't get the Pac fight, GBP is where he needs to be to set up a big money fight with Khan or Bradley later this year.
JMM vs. Soto, Judah, Malignaggi, Alexander, Rios, and Morales all sound good to me. He doesn't really have to prove anything anymore. If he doesn't get the Pacman fight, anything else he does is just a plus. He's slippin already, but still a force that could upset anyone at 140.
JMM is looking to bow out with a nice severance package. Whether that's a Pac fight or a multiple fight deal with GBP with several easier opponents, doesn't matter.
Plenty of quality fights out there for JM Marquez and tbh I'm not interested in him fighting Manny again.
If JMM thinks there's a chance of getting Pac in the ring, he'll do what he can to make it happen. GBP have obviously made him a good offer though and now he has to weigh-up whether he wants to take the chance of rejecting it and hoping Arum let's Pac fight him.
PAC fans are rejoicing over the thought of Marquez not fighting PAC again. I guess they remember what happened last time.
marquez gets knocked out at 147, I think there will be no credit for pac regardless if he wins or not. Marquez deserves the fight though, if he gets it its cool if not fine as well.
