    The problem with him actually is he has no charisma, unlike MAB and EM...

    Skillswise, he ranks there with the best, but in terms of gaining the imagination of boxing fans, he is lagging behind.

    Nobody could ever understand why Marquez turned down a $750K purse fight with Pac.

    Or does anyone here?

    someone else said that he turned it down as part of regular negiotiations, and that while they were still negotiating Pac was offered a bigger fight against Morales and took it.

    Its like saying you won't pay 20k for a car hoping the guy will lower his price, but you know damn well that if he doesn't lower it you will come back the next day and pay 20k, but then when you come back, someone else bought it for 25k

    According to this article the Erik fight was offered to JMM first.

    Pac wasnt JMMs only choice..Shoot for 1.4Million..I would have jumped at the Erik offer...

    PAC did...

    Now in hindsight it has to be true because PAC / EM 1 just happened..all of a sudden there was a fight

    I dont know about you but at the time when I heard it

    I was damn PACs crazy..MAB, JMM,then EM..

    Now that I think about it PAC ducks no one.

    I mean even when he lost to EM...He wanted that rematch rightaway

    Boy how quickly we forget:-(

    Now PAc is ducking JMM

    The offer to JMM was made with a 3 weeks notice before the fight. Unprepared and going against a war loving Morales at that time is stretching the risks a bit far, so you can sort of give him the benefit of the doubt here.

    Besides, who the **** believes Arum????:patsch

    The notorious promotor with the world famous quote of "Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth". :nut

    This guy is up there with Gary Shaw in messing with his fighters.

    i remeber pac taking the ledwaba fight as a very late replacement on 2-3 weeks notice. same with the first barrera fight, this time with about a month's notice.

    Yes thats probably true, but what if Marquez was not in shape, it would be suicide.

    So lets put your calculus in practice. Lets make it easier.
    First question for yor

    which is greater?:hey
    31 or 750?

    next question?

    which is greater:hey

    31,505usd or 750,000usd

    Now, for once BLACK, be logical! The more you say things the more you look stupid defending that is was a right choice to choose 30K over 750k.

    It's your choice Mr Mathematician :rofl ! Or you could simply redeem yourself and say, YEAH! It was a bad decision after all! But if you think it was a GREAT decision to make 31K instead of 750k! So be it! Can't agrue to somebody who does not have logic! :hey

    Next time you are offered a job! 31k/yr vs 750k per year. THE WAY YOU THINK! It's quit obvious! :yep

    You can play dumb, act dumb, pretend dumb or maybe you are really dumb? You always have a choice! Sorry for the choice of words but I can't think of finer words to describe yr SUPPORT that it was a good idea to earn 31k instead of 750k!:hi:

    His manager also happens to be his trainer, who is one of the best (if not THE best) in the game.
