    Marquez reported priced himself out by asking for $5M in fighting Pac.
    Do you think he is in the position to demand such a big amount? If he
    really wants to fight Manny and prove that he's the best, he will not
    demand a big purse which he believes he cannot get. $2M is good enough for
    Marquez, IMO.

    Fighters like JMM deserve as much as they can possibly get. He is by far the most enjoyable fighter to watch IMO.

    Yeah, considering that this fight will take out a lot of both guys and his own status in boxing fandom.

    $5 million is overpricing himself when cotto got a guaranteed purse of less than 5 million and margarito 3 million. GBP believes that marquez vs. pacquiao can generate at least the same revenue as pacquiao vs. margarito, but they cannot guarantee pac $22 million, the amount he earned vs. margarito.

    Considering his performance against the #2 P4P fighter in the world I say 1 million to 2 million is all he should get... Sure he did well against Pac in both fights but he also Lost both IMO and to add to it those fights were years ago recently Marquez hasnt looked like that.

    Mmmhm. Marquez has every right. If this were 1975, the amount would be absurd. Now, not so much.

    I believe Cotto got around 8M and it went up to 17M after PPV's

    From the scene of boxing:

    "Marquez needs to decide if he's going to stop talking out of his mouth and out of his ass. He comes out and says 'I beat Manny, I'll fight Manny, I'll fight Manny at 147.' But then when he talks out of his ass - He says 'I'll fight him for $5 million dollars.' Do you see what I'm saying? Man up. Take whatever they are offering you and then kill him like you say you can, like you say you can beat him, and then go and get that big payday that you want. You know that you're the king of the mountain after you beat Manny," Ariza told the scene.

    "Quit pricing yourself out of the game. Man up. Quit saying that you're going to do one thing on this side of the fence and then hop on the other side of the fence behind closed doors, and behind the cell phone, and behind your promoter, and say 'I want $5 million dollars,' when you know that you are never going to see that money."

    Look at the *******s justifying the fight not being made. He just FOTY last year and a candidate for FOTY from the talks here. Also the guy has arguably beat Pac twice. Its a plain duck form Pacs team. They know JMM could derail a possible PBF fight so they make excuses. Wait until JMM gets beat a couple of times and then Pacs team will be talking about settling it once and for all.

    Also didnt Pac turn down 7 mil from JMM to fight Diaz for 3 mil a few years back.
    Hmmm i wonder whos ducking.....
