    Depends how much money the fight makes. He is within his rights to name a hight price.
    Should stick to it.

    Marquez deserves a big payday. He hasn't been well-compensated throughout his career, and he won the last fight.

    I don't think they'll be able to come up with that much money just through a regular fight at a Vegas casino though. It'd need to be at a bigger stadium for a bigger gate, like Cowboy's Stadium, Estadio Azteca, the LA Colosseum, or something like that.

    If I'm Pac I'd tell JMM go **** yourself with that 20 Million ****. You don't deserve $6M let alone 20.

    He's not getting a 20 mill guarantee. This is probably just posturing - but win or lose Pac is still the bigger draw. JMM isn't making millions without Pac end of story and he isnt fighting Floyd, so..

    I hope this fight doesnt end up happening anyway, I wanna see these guys fight somebody else and retire.

    Hmm its tricky to say the least; not sure if JMM has the pull that Manny did pre-ktfo. In the end if they get 50/50 or maybe 55 to JMM that'd probly be reasonable

    consider that hatton got ktfo and got 48/52 on Pac

    He's not getting 20 million, but he deserves a big payday.

    What you deserve pay wise in sports entertainment i.e.; Combat Sports is based upon your ability to draw.

    Pac has charisma, an exciting style, and communicates well (to anglican speaking crowds) despite being foriegn born. This is why he makes the big bucks.

    Juan on the other hand can't draw anything if the opponent across him isn't MP. He has a boring style and is a personality dud (again only in to anglican speaking crowds, as on spanish tv his personality shines). This is why he can't draw **** where the money is, here in the U.S.

    Thus it should be obvious that 20mill is unlikely., unless he fights someone else and proves that he can now draw big #'s.

    He lost money over robberies & is in drivers seat, pac needs this Marquez doesn't.Arum even admits Mexicans buy most ppvs when a mexican fighter is included ,shouldn't be surprise as there was mostly mexicans in their fights so makes sense they'd buy most ppvs as well.Marquez deserves every bit of 20 mill no less than 15.
