    if ever they will rematch?

    Some things to consider:
    JMM is a titleholder, Pac is not.
    Pac is obvioulsy a certified huge draw, JMM is not.
    They both have a settle to score between them.

    Pac has already mentioned that he won't entertain this fight if JMM takes the bigger purse.

    Thoughts?

    No, Pacman should get the bigger purse. He is the bigger draw, higher rated in his weight class, higher rated P4P.

    pac should have the bigger purse being the obvious draw. jmm may "outprice" himself again if he insists on getting the larger purse. having a paper title doesn't mean you should get the bigger purse.

    even if jmm gets the smaller purse, it will still be the biggest payday of his career. he will make about 3M compared to pac's 4-4.5M. far cry from the 30K he got for losing to john.

    JMM's title isn't paper....it hasn't been vacant for 5 years or so, so he won a legit title.

    All ABC belts aren't paper.

    God, I hope it doesn't go the way of the first rematch talks between Pac and JMM. If we get another situation like that (w/ Chris John) I'm going to be pissed. And if JMM prices himself out again, I would say, yes he's officially ducking PAC. JMM has a lot more to gain than Pac does anyway.

    Marquez better rush to the phone now or risk losing the biggest fight in his horizon if Pac's camp moves to 135lb...

    Even if JMM holds the three belts at 130lb the most he can get is purse parity against Manny Pacquiao...at least the Pacquiao of today. There is no question who is going to be the draw in a Pac-JMM rematch.

    Freddie Roach is a wise man. He did'nt want Paquiao to face JMM the first time, and by word coming from Roach now, it looks like he wants to steer Manny clear from the 130 lbs division and onto lightweight!:huh

    What the hell is there at lightweight that could come even close to comparing the competition of JMM, Soto, Guzman and Valero at 130 lbs!

    It looks like Pac will have faced everyone but the very best 130 pounders during his stay there if he leaves to 135 lbs for his next fights!:-(

    Listen up forum, if Pac moves to 135 lbs, no doubt in my mind he'd be ducking not only JMM, but the other sound 130 pounders the division has to offer.:-(

    Attention Manny Pac and Freddie Roach, the best competition is at 130 lbs, not 135 lbs!:deal
