    What is it about Juan Manuel Marquez and his style that seems to give you trouble? Will you give him a fourth fight? Are there any options for you after this fight besides a fight with Marquez or Mayweather?
    I get asked a lot about my fights with Juan Manuel Marquez. Our trilogy has been as exciting for us as it has been for boxing fans. Juan really understands how to fight southpaws. He's a very smart man and an excellent fighter. His deliberate and patient style of fighting is a product that comes from experience and experience against great opposition. He's a brilliant counterpuncher.
    My trainer Freddie Roach has said many times that Juan is the only smart one out there; the only fighter who has figured me out.



    I know the fans want to see a fourth fight between us and I can understand why. Right now I can only focus on the task at hand and that's defending my title against Timothy Bradley. Just because Bradley is moving up in weight doesn't mean he is at a disadvantage, believe me I know. I've moved up in weight a few times myself. No one has ever beaten him – no one. Freddie and I have four weeks of very hard training to prepare for this fight. I cannot afford to be distracted by thinking of other fights. That is a lesson experience has taught me.

    What are Bradley’s strengths in this matchup, what are your advantages, and do you have any concerns about his physical style and the frequency of head clashes in his fights?

    Timothy Bradley brings a lot of weapons to a fight. He has youth, an aggressive style and a state of mind that only a world champion possesses. No matter how much talent a fighter has, his game is raised by being a world champion. Tim has always found a way to win. He has great determination and can adapt and change his game plan in mid fight.
    Bradley seems to be improving with every fight. His victories over Lamont Peterson and Devon Alexander, who were undefeated when he fought them, were very impressive. He knows how to impose his will on his opponents. He turns fights into wars.
    I have speed and power to counter Bradley. My experience against Hall of Fame caliber opposition is also an advantage for me. I have learned so much from fighting legends such as Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez. I also have the best teacher in my trainer Freddie Roach.
    I do have concerns about Bradley's fighting style. Anytime a southpaw fights an orthodox-style boxer headbutts are bound to happen, but with Bradley it's more of a concern because he tends to lead with his head. Hopefully we will have a good referee who will not let him do that. Regardless, it's my job to be prepared for anything he may bring.

    This is hilarious. No way in hell are these Pac's actual words. Even when translating him from his native language, he does not, EVER, express himself this clearly or with this much depth.

    The words in this "interview" were obviously provided by his management or publicist.

    What a world ....

    Pac writes his own articles and probably has somebody proof reading for grammar errors. Anyone can come up with a well written article with some help. The idea is still his.

    It's not enough when it is the equivalent of a 70-30 split in favor of Floyd by the time he gets all the PPV revenue. When Floyd fought De La Hoya, he only had 3 previous PPV fights with a high of 375,000 buys. He still got a 33% split from Oscar and $25 million, which is 5 times his highest previous earnings.

    Now he wants to offer Pac, a PPV star already, even less than that.

    That's when $40 million is not enough. :hey

    PPV history at time of De La Hoya-Mayweather fight


    Oscar De La Hoya

    1. Rafael Ruelas (5/95) 330,000 buys = $9.9 million
    2. Genaro Hernandez (9/95) 220,000 buys = $6.6 million
    3. Miguel Angel Gonzalez (1/97) 345,000 buys = $12.1 million
    4. Pernell Whitaker (4/97) 720,000 buys = $28.8 million
    5. Hector Camacho (9/97) 560,000 buys = $22.4 million
    6. Wilfredo Rivera (12/97) 240,000 buys = $9.6 million
    7. Julio Cesar Chavez II ( 9/90) 525,000 buys = $23.6 million
    8. Ike Quartey ( 2/99) 570,000 buys =$25.7 million
    9. Felix Trinidad (9/99) 1.4 million buys = $71.4 million
    10. Shane Mosley (6/00) 590,000 buys = $29.5 million
    11. Javier Castillejo (6/01) 400,000 buys = $16.0 million
    12. Fernando Vargas (9/02) 935,000 buys = $47.8 million
    13. Yory Boy Campas (5/03) 350,000 buys = $17.5 million
    14. Shane Mosley II (9/03) 950,000 buys = $48.4 million
    15. Felix Sturm (6/04) 380,000 buys = $19.0 million
    16. Bernard Hopkins (9/04) 1 million buys = $56.0 million
    17. Ricardo Mayorga (5/06) 935,000 buys = $46.3 million

    Total PPV buys: 10,430,000
    Average PPV buys: 614,706
    Total Revenue: $490.6 million
    Average Revenue: $28.9 million


    Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    1. Arturo Gatti (6/05) 369,000 buys = $16.6 million
    2. Zab Judah (4/06) 378,000 buys = $17.0 million
    3. Carlos Baldomir (11/06) 325,000 buys = $16.2 million

    Total PPV buys: 1,072,000
    Average PPV buys: 357,333
    Total Revenue: $49.8 million
    Average Revenue: $16.6 million


    Purse split:

    Oscar De La Hoya: $52 million

    Floyd Mayweather Jr.: $25 million

    Equivalent of 67-33 split in favor of Oscar De La Hoya.
