    This fight was much too close to give any camp "bragging rights".

    Yeah I agree. I PM'd C HOP after the fight because we had a bet and I won. But I told him that he doesnt really need to take the 1 month off bet between us because I thought JMM was just as deserving to win the fight. C HOP disagreed though and said that he'll honor our deal and take the 1 month off bet...

    But yeah, I defo agree that ALL the time off bets should be officialy off. Both men were winners in all honesty.

    GO PAC-JMM 3!!! PLEASE PAC RECONSIDER!!!

    I couldn't pick a winner for this fight, at first I thought pac would win, then thought Marquez after re-watching the first fight but then decided its too close to call and it looks like I was right :yep no bets should be honoured.

    I was so ready to honor that one month off bet, if ever Pacquiao loses.

    In fact, I was about to sign up for my new alias, named Pampangueno. :yep

    (A pinoy in-joke. They'll get it.)

    not trying to sound like a dick but i don't think it's that much money. plus withthe odds on JMM i though it was a great bet to make. i also thought he won the fight but it was close as hell. i was very confident making the bet to tell the truth.:patsch

    I had it 116-111 to Marquez.:bart

    Marquez landed clearly the cleaner punches.

    Here's a free tip for the future: in a close fight where the betting underdog you think will end up winning you pick to win by UD rather than stoppage, NEVER bet on that fighter if the other fighter is younger and a bigger star. Boxing is a business and they're not in the business of having their stars lose.

    Pacquiao was always going to be given the nod in a close fight because he is jounger, the bigger star and has a better record against Mexican fighters. Unless you are a legend, like El Terrible, you are unlikely to be given a close decision against a star, like Pacquiao!
