I don't think PAC's hunger has diminished....Not based on his schedule over the last 5 yrs or so. JMM at 130 or 135 or even 126 is NOT the JMM we see today. Definitly NOT above 140. The fight should be made at 135 or at most 140 for this to be taken seriously. To me it just seems as though JMM is looking to get paid...which I don't hate him for doing. But accepting the fight with PAC at147 so quickly was an indication that he is looking at the money than the chance at winning. I know JMM is a warrior and won't lay down but beggers can't be choosers. If he wants the money, take the proposal as is from PAC...get him in the ring and get paid. With Arum in the mix JMM ain't gonna get what he is asking for. That ship will saild the **** off if he wants to push the issue. The fights with JMM were no dobut classics....CLOSE COMPETITIVE FIGHTS! And yea....PAC took a ****ing beating and in the first one he was outboxed for most of the fight...but lets not forget the amount of damage JMM took over 24 rounds where he visited the canvas 4 or 5 times.
This fight is not gonna get made until JMM gets beaten severly. Man JMM should have stayed down in the 3rd round against Katsidis. Then the fight would have been signed already. Its funny how people keep brining up money as the reason for why the fight should not happen yet when PBF wanted a bigger share of the pie the same people were saying it should just be 50-50 even though PBF is the star and has made more money than Pac against every opponent in coomon and also in total. Hypocrites. A few fun facts for you here. -Pac wanted 50-50 when the PBF talks weer in place. so PBF gave him 50-50 then Pac still ducked. -PBF said random test. They went to mediation. He agreed to 14 days which Pac denied saying that would haev made it work. The mediator said PBF did agree to 14 days. Pac just ducked. -After JMM-Katsidis. Roach said 147 or no fight since he knew JMM did not want it there. JMM said ok. Now its the money which everyone thinks its a fair share but team Pac. Pac ducks -After the 2nd fight. GBP offers 7 mil for the 3rd match. Pac says no thanks i doubt i can get lucky again and i will fight Diaz for 3 mil instead. -After the 1st fight JMM was asking for the bigger share since he was teh unified FW champ and Pac didnt even have one title. they didnt offer it to him so he went and fought 2 fighters for a purse total of about 300k then he fought CJ for 30k since no one else was left to fight. Once again Pac ducks.
Still Marquez will get less. Floyd ppv vs Pac ppv= slight difference.:deal Pac ppv vs Marquez ppv= Big,big,big difference.:deal
I say $2.5M but since he's from GBP camp... Give him $1.5M. Idiot GBP jumping into Roid accusation on Manny and now they want JMM againts Manny.
Big star to whom? Boxing fans or mainstream fans? Pretty sure mainstream fans unless from Mexico has never heard of him. Look at his performance when is headlining. If you based it on boxing skills and performance JMM deserves 10-15 million. If you based it on actual draw - he deserves like $2 million dollars. And I have his OWN PROMOTION company put up the bill for the promotions. Let him prove that he deserves to ride on the coattail of Pac's popularity.
I think JMM deserves 5mil, he's a good lil fighter. But it's not really a question of what JMM deserves. If he really wanted this fights then whatever purse should suffice. He is suppose to be out for redemption or to get some closure, right? If thats the case then he should accept whatever reasonable purse as long as he's not getting totally cleaned out. If he really felt like he was unjustly wronged than money should be a secondary concern. But still he is talking about purse requirements? It's starting to sound like he's more interested in a huge payday than this whole rhetoric about personal redemption. Maybe this is Pac just gauging JMM's real motivation for a third fight...which in all likelihood wont even be competitive.
+1 If you were Pacquiao, are you going to give this disrespectful, sore loser,cry baby a good pay day. If I were Pac, I will let him die begging.
AND MANNY DID ABOUT 15K LESS AT THE GATE THEN HIS LAST FIGHT......VS A MUCH MORE KNOWN OPPONENT :deal
It's overpricing since marquez has nothing to lose and everthing to gain. There is really nothing in it for pacquiao rather then money, and he can fight other people for less.
Marquez is the one dying for this fight, not PAC. What Marquez should really be doing is fight PAC for free....proof that he can really beat PAC. If Top Rank offer any money onto than it's a bonus. Right now he's acting like he's just looking for a payday. If you really think you can beat PAC and want a shot at him, take whatever Top Rank give you just to get the fight.
