@ divac: It's not just Arum, it had been in the news back then--but team JMM demanded some 3M instead! Wtf?! I'm delving into some links, but what the heck... You can believe whatever spin apologists can invent, the sad and funny reality remained that traveling to the jungles of Borneo for some chump change of 32k (and ironically lose there), is an affront to one's self-respect and self-worth: something that Arum allegedly deprived JMM with (with offers ranging from 750k-1.5m which is princely enough at that time)...:-(
Can we quote you on this? What you just said meant that you can't accuse any boxer of ducking anybody when it's the promoters who actually choose the opponents. :deal
Pac's biggest payday is a fight against JMM, your kidding right. Its the other way around. Pac is the attraction not JMM. They had t cancelled JMM-Juarez fight and moved it to another date cuz nobody was buying tickets or PPV. If Pac-JMM rematch happens, this might be the first time JMM might get a million dollar purse.
:rofl :rofl :rofl So what you are saying is......JMM ducked PAC...in not so many words. Look....JMM had many opportunities to make the fight, he just prices himself out. Maybe he is ducking PAC? Who knows, but one thing is clear......PAC has TRIED many times to get a rematch only to find out that JMM is trying to get the lions share of the pot. Which is crazy b/c JMM is not a draw and doesn't get any PPV dates. For you to say PAC has no other Big money options is a joke. He has MANY options that would drawf a Rematch between the two. PAC only wants to correct the error that was made after their first fight. IT's not about Money to PAC when talking about a rematch with JMM b/c JMM doesn't bring anything to the table in terms of marketability or revenue. PAC is JMM only chance at anther big PAY DAY. So if JMM wants to finally get the ****** off his back after being GIVEN his title in their initial meeting, then he'll have to let Manny drive negotiations and take the lesser share of the $$ Pot! IT's still gonna be more than he has ever made, so he needs to be smart...or admit he just doesn't want to get in there with PAC again.
Why would that be a stupid thought. John is no where near the threat that PAC is and it was considered an easy fight......it's just that no one told Chris he was suppose to be an easy fight for JMM.
He proabably will which indicates he really don't want it with PAC. JMM is smart...he knows the business! The person who is the draw gets the lions share and JMM is just giving himself an "OUT" if he requests the larger portion of the $$$!
LOL JMM had the hardest fight of his life and it's a myth to say that after round 3 it was grade A schooling. PAC won some rounds after the 3rd and it was a good showing by both men. But the fight was won by PAC....it was the mistake of one of the judges that GAVE JMM a draw. And he as the CHampion should have wanted an immediate rematch to clear up any contreversy. Unfortunately JMM knew he got a gift and avoided the rematch altogehter.. Manny deserved the W but this fight was only a small speed bump on his way to BIGGER and better fights. JMM now needs to fight PAC b/c there is really no one else who can give him big paydays in his division since he can't draw flies if he were a big pile of ****.
Obviously you don't sound you and talk like a mexican Too bad some JMM fans believe they were even robbed:huh . They refuse to think in a logical manner. I hope the Paman vs Marquez II finally pushes through! Win or lose NO EXCUSES!!! :good
I can't believe so many Pac fans are nuthuggers. Anyone who says that JMM chose to fight Chris John rather than Pac is a complete an utter moron, no other way around it. How could JMM choose to fight John rather than Pac if JMM fought Chris an ENTIRE year after the rematch was suposed to take place and was his 2nd fight since negotiations had failed. Bringing John up as evidence that JMM was pricing hismself out against Pac is complete and utter nonsense. A different twist to the story is perhaps Pac didn't allow room for negotiations as he was utterly humiliated and wanted no part in JMM.
Why STUPID? uhhhhh, maybe because JMM fought Chris John over a year after negotiations failed, not to mention he fought #1 contender Orlando Salido before fighting Chris John...duh!atsch:roll: Any other questions Charly?
