    Bob Arum decided on making the Pac-Morales fight instead of making the rematch.

    That is a fact.

    The difference between Floyd is that Floyd is actually a small guy. I'm not saying it was right even in those circumstances, but it is what it is.

    Canelo is HUGE and he needs a catchweight? For what reason?

    Marquez and manager-trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain were offered a career high purse of $750.000 for a second bout against Pacquiao. The Mexicans demanded double that to match what they believed Pacquiao was being paid.

    The rematch was not made and Marquez made a foolish trip for a foolish fight in a parking lot in Indonesia where, for a measly $35.000, he lost a decision to homeboy Chris John.

    These are the facts. :deal

    Yes... Its called negotiating. Why would any fighter just jump on the first offer??

    Was it a mistake, who knows, but when Morales lost to Barrera he almost immediately went to Arum and asked to fight Pacquiao who had already defeated MAB and drew with JMM.

    Now hear this. Only 4 months after Morales' war with MAB he is in the ring kicking the **** out of Pacquiao.

    Arum ceased negotiations with JMM because there was more money in a Morales fight than a JMM rematch.
