    I'm not refuting how much EM has made, I'm talking bout the offer he supposedly made to JMM for $1.5mil. Tell me when! That's would be a pretty generous offer beings that JMM isn't that big a draw! Pull up that story for me!

    Pacman was not even worth 7 figures after the Barrera fight, he needed Morales to break that.

    JMM took the Mab fight because there was extreme pressure on him from the media and his fans to do something with his career,Nacho was getting blasted everywhere for the way he was manging JMM, before Barrera he spent the last 2 years preparing for a Pacquiao rematch(only fighting asian southpaws). And i dont believe JMM was afraid one bit of MaB in the first place, he would of took the MaB fight 3 years ago if it had been offered.

    Then, 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.

    That is the point of my conversation. It's not about money. Its about whether JMM ducked MAB and Morales.

    And Pacman wasn't worth 7 figures means nothing. Compare that to how much most other champion at that weight class make. He was still one of the biggest draws in the small weight classes and he was a p4p fighter.

    Pricing out is a hidden way of ducking out of a fight you dont want.
    He did it with Morales, I dont know anything about Mab, but like i said if the Mab fight was offered 3 years ago he would of taken it no matter how much he was getting.

    JMM was being unrealistic for money he wants, against guys who were the bigger draw and that were getting no where near what JMM was asking for, but was willing to fight for chulk change in someones backyard across the world.

    So its either one of the two, JMM doesnt know **** about fight Purses or didnt want these fights.

    I dont have any idea whether JMM wanted the 2nd fight or not, but I have heard that Nacho can be a very overbearing and manager, though a great trainer.

    Yes it is a hidden way of ducking. However, it makes NO sense to think that he would have fought MAB 3 years ago, but avoided Morales after and even older MAB beat him.

    It's called having Nacho Bernstien as your manager, and trainer! Even if that article is 100% true Nacho still made the calls, and JMM and Raf are very loyal to him, and honor/respect whatever decision he makes or whatever he says!! Things will sway more now that he's w/GBP!!
