JMM: Plans don't depend on Manny; looking to unify at 140, names Garcia & Matthysse

Just mentioned this on Golpe a Golpe.

Some other bits:

He also mentioned his new book is intended to communicate the struggle he had to personally go through to get to the level where he can succeed at the top level against the likes of Pacquiao. He said he can't do that one on one with fans, so he's releasing this book for that purpose, and depending on its reception, could write another on his broader career.

When asked about whether people would rather see Pacquiao rematch with him or Cotto, he said that he's already fought with Manny 3 times, and he felt Manny caught him at a bad moment, so fans would be more eager to see them rematch now that Cotto's recovering in what could be his best moment.

When asked what stars he sees emerging once he, Floyd, and Manny have retired, he says he has faith in JCC Jr's potential, provided he comes out victorious against Martinez.

When asked about same-day weigh-ins, he said he thinks there should be a 10lb maximum re-hydration limit, but would keep weigh-ins the day before.

He also did a cool in-ring breakdown of Jr.'s improvements and how a fight with Martinez might go down, which I'll translate once it's up.

 

Maybe if he moves up to 140. Right now he and da brush are just naming peeps at 140 on youtube videos. Without a belt or even a divisional ranking, the can man can't offer much.

 

How? I think HBO would put a similar amount of money into an action-packed card where JMM-Matthysse headlined, than it would for JMM-Broner.
