...does he deserve a purse of $1.5M? :confused:

...does he deserve a purse of $1.5M? :confused:

if he beats PAC maybe he will be worth something like that, but for now he ain't MAB or EM ...

if so, why do you think he's insisting on demanding for it?

P.S. how can i put picture in my webpage content? :D

JMM by himself does not put fighters in the seats. He thinks that because he has some belts and most boxing fans know who he is that he is worth a lot of money, but he will soon realize that when he has a chance to fight a real fight for short money of more than $1,000,000, it is a lot better than getting the lions share of the purse for $25,000.

See also: Winky Wright turns down ~$3,000,000 to fight Trinidad, wants $4,000,000, would get about $500,000 elsewhere. What was that guy thinking?

hes got the belts that manny wants. to have the chance to fight for them first hes gotta fork over the money. he may night put fighters in the seats but hes mannys toughest challenge between the 3 M's IMO so y shouldnt he get more money?

I guess he deserve more than what's on the table. But over half a million more than Pacquiao? Probably not. Remember that Pacquiao is probably the main attraction. And after all, this is boxing. Belts sometimes don't mean a lot in terms of money. I think there is some jealousy going on how Pacquiao and Barrera are getting more attention.

It's similar to how Winky wants the same amount as Trinidad because he holds the belt. I mean look at the Hopkins-DLH bout. Hopkins is the champ but he got less money. If I were Marquez and so confident on beating Pac, then he should step up because he'll be making a lot more if he's successful. But from what I understand, it's Marquez who wants more money to begin with, his manager advise to.

if u were fighting pac would u want more money? pac is dangerous for the whole 12 rds. winky/trinidad is diff. winky still hasnt proved anything. he beat mosely well mosely isnt a big puncher anymore and he still hurt winky. think of what trinidad will do to him..

So I guess it's an insurance. Because Pac is a big risk. And if he gets beaten, at least he has money on the way.

Well, I guess there's no point. It seems that there won't be a Marquez-Pacquiao bout. At least not in Feb.26. Although I still am keeping my finger cross till the contract is signed. Especially with Arum involve.

if so, why do you think he's insisting on demanding for it?

I think JMM deserve to have at least the same amount of purse as PAC, he earned it from the last fight, but if nobody wants to shell that amount for him he should accept what is being offered...

and maybe the reason he is insisting, its for his
RETIREMENT FUND!!!

I am crossing my fingers too buddy, i really want to see PAC-JMM 2 first and foremost than any other fight, unsettled business should be finished first ...

that just doesnt justify why he will be given the purse. Manny fights who ever thinks he's tough enough. Manny fights for glory and not for money. JMM may do so but not to a fighter who can send him to retirement.

JMM doesnt want to work for it. coz he knows his capability of winning against Pacman is just questionable. he can pretty sure get that purse after he beats Pac, MAB and EM. but obviously, he knows he wont be meeting MAB and EM after facing Pacman.

if u were fighting pac would u want more money? pac is dangerous for the whole 12 rds. winky/trinidad is diff. winky still hasnt proved anything. he beat mosely well mosely isnt a big puncher anymore and he still hurt winky. think of what trinidad will do to him..
yes. but not to an impossible purse. only up to what ever is negotiable and fair.
but if i am confident enough in beating Pacman, i'd go for it coz he'll be my way to greatness.
but if i do think that he's the man who'll send me to retirement, damn, i'd be askin' for the heaven for my purse.

I am crossing my fingers too buddy, i really want to see PAC-JMM 2 first and foremost than any other fight, unsettled business should be finished first ...
i dont know but it seems like JMM is not interested in settling the unfinished business. he knows he was just lucky to have that draw. that's exactly why he's askin' for too much purse.

that just doesnt justify why he will be given the purse. Manny fights who ever thinks he's tough enough. Manny fights for glory and not for money. JMM may do so but not to a fighter who can send him to retirement.

yeah he proved that by not taking the fight with jmm for what he was offered. instead he is gonna take the fight with em. if you think its not about the money to him then you are seriously dillusional. if it weren't about the money and it was about the glory he would take the jmm fight no matter what the monetary prize was. but this is the real world and money matters to everyone. i don't blame manny for wanting more money thats for sure.

i don't blame manny for wanting more money thats for sure.

Dude

Manny sign the contract that stipulates a fight with Marquez & Morales.

Juan Manuel Marquez is the one asking for $1.5M before signing any contract. Its very easy to determine who back out of the fight. :)

hes got the belts that manny wants. to have the chance to fight for them first hes gotta fork over the money. he may night put fighters in the seats but hes mannys toughest challenge between the 3 M's IMO so y shouldnt he get more money?
True that Juan has the belts, but Manny is the one people want to see. I mean, at least Manny has fought MAB. Who has JMM fought? Lets face it, Juan ain't the most exciting boxer out there. So for him(Beristain)to ask that much money is just big headed. Sure he was able to salvage a draw with Pac but, that's after he got eaten up in the first round. You hear alot of people on tv talking about they survived shark attacks, lions, etc. but doesn't really prove anything except they can survive.

yeah he proved that by not taking the fight with jmm for what he was offered. instead he is gonna take the fight with em. if you think its not about the money to him then you are seriously dillusional. if it weren't about the money and it was about the glory he would take the jmm fight no matter what the monetary prize was. but this is the real world and money matters to everyone. i don't blame manny for wanting more money thats for sure.
man Pac signed the contract against JMM! there's no way he counld turn back from that. JMM asked for an impossible purse so he wont have to clash against the Punisher Pacman. now, how could i be so dillutional? and how you couldnt be in this case? :(

hes got the belts that manny wants. to have the chance to fight for them first hes gotta fork over the money. he may night put fighters in the seats but hes mannys toughest challenge between the 3 M's IMO so y shouldnt he get more money?

BULL****. :cool:

He didn't ask Salido to fork that much dough and I'm sure Salido wanted those belts as much as Manny or any challenger does. The simple fact is that he is in no position to demand such a preposterous sum, with or without those belts. It's the rep that brings in the money in this day and age and not the title - sad but true.

Marquez was a nobody fighting under card type opponents all his career and none of the legitimate elite like Manny before they clashed and it's because of that stupid draw - which IMHO opinion Pac deserved to win - that he's sharing some of the limelight right now. Still he doesn't deserve crap and is back to fighting patsies like he normally does because of this latest attempt to duck Manny. Manny earned his share of the purse and is the one being shortchanged, not little miss prima donna Marquez, yet Manny would've taken whatever was offered him just to prove he was the real champ.

Bottomline is if he beat Pac, he could have asked for the moon! So the question is, was he really being stupid or was he just being a chicken? :rolleyes:

actually he only deserves half of manny's purse. these mexicans cum americans just can't stand being outdone by others especially by a filipino.

remember this. you can't win in the u.s by decision. you have to win by k.o or t.k.o just like what happened to barrera. se what happened to marquez!!! even if it was very obvious manny won these sore americans decided otherwise. they're just full of **** and tae!

I hate to quote something from another site but maxboxing had it right. It is a real shame and a damn crime that HBO would only be willing to shell out less than 1.7 million for a Marquez Pacquiao fight when they are willing to pay Mayweather alone, over 2 million to fight bruseles. Mayweather who hasnt really attracted a crowd in years. In his last fight he couldnt even fill the little stadium it was an irony that it happened to be one of his most exciting fights to date. And of course he got paid like 3 million.

For Marquez vs Pacquiao one thing is a for sure thing, the arena was going to sell out, and more people would have tuned in then are gonna tune for Mayweather against someone no knows. (except us ESPN watching folks.)

people like u are so ignorant. Americans are unfair? what happened to roy jones? what happened to fighters in Europe and every other part of the world? you are an idiot and anyone who thinks like u is an even bigger idiot. you can see corruption in boxing throughout the whole world and please.. dont say u never have a biased dec. in the philipines cuz then u r just a bull****ter. u guys get one fighter that is getting worldwide recognition and you guys praise him to the ****in sky. i cant wait for his ass to be on the floor.

well be honest, we all knew Salido wasnt gonna be that big a task. pac is diff and i would ask for money like that too if i was fighting. i woulve gone for 1 mil but not 1.5. only he and god know why he demanded so much. me? i dont think hes scared of pac. just scared that if he does lose, he wont get many big fights not to mention, dream bouts with morales and barrera so hes asking for a big payday. i thought he shouldve gotten it tho since he showed that pac couldnt finish him. hes got heart and would probably make mab and em look foolish at times.

that's the point, our poor country has only one great boxing sensation time to time, so what the heck? give him the sky, he is the only one who stands up among the best and definitely deserves the credit. and take a look. it only took one manny pacquiao to take the world into a frenzy, he became a bigger name than the 3 M's and i suppose every mexican in the world wants to fight, except for marquez the chicken ****.

Can you prove these points of yours:
1. These Mexicans can't stand being outdone by others esp. a Filipino;
2. You can't win in the US by decision;
3. It was very obvious Manny won;
4. These Americans decided otherwise.

I personally think you should post more sensibly. Do you think 3 judges represent the sentiment and opinion of the American public?

In fairness to JMM, he used to be ignored by big fighters in his division because of the high risk, low return he poses . It's just sad that he blew probably the only chance to raise his marketability. He probably deserves more than what Arum offered him but with the way he fights, he'll never dictate the market.

Manny, Erik and Marco deserves the high purse because of what they gave to the public. These are wars we always wanted to see.

in fairness to manny, he actually "gave" JMM the chance to shine, roach didn't want the fight to happen, nazario din't want the fight to happen, but the warrior in manny told them otherwise. manny was a hot commodity entering their fight so i think it was still manny who drew people and fight fans to watch it. but regarding the purse, i think it wasn't fair for marquez to be given such an offer. arum is disgusting, he should have at least offered the same amount to JMM, following a split draw in their last match...

hes got the belts that manny wants. to have the chance to fight for them first hes gotta fork over the money. he may night put fighters in the seats but hes mannys toughest challenge between the 3 M's IMO so y shouldnt he get more money?

manny wants belts? that's laughable. marquez pussed out, so manny is moving on. besides, pacquiao already kicked his ass once

I think JMM deserve to have at least the same amount of purse as PAC, he earned it from the last fight, but if nobody wants to shell that amount for him he should accept what is being offered...

oh yeah, he's an accountant isn't he?

forget Marquez, he means nothing

forget Marquez, he means nothing

manny knocked him down 3 times and got outboxed the rest of the fight. that doesnt mean manny messed him up cuz of one round.

manny knocked him down 3 times and got outboxed the rest of the fight. that doesnt mean manny messed him up cuz of one round.

there goes the 11-round argument for marquez again. some people think they can change the outcome of the fight by constantly telling that jmm won 11 rounds of that fight. you may be blind or a real nuthugger to see that. pac easily rounds 1,2,7,9,11 and rd 12 was pretty close.

Evander Holyfield took 8 million dollars for the first Tyson fight while Tyson recieved 30 million. Holyfield took the cash, didn`t complain once, why? Because he knew he would win and set up future pay days. Hopkins took the cash against De La Hoya because even while getting less than Oscar, it was still a career high payday.
Ronald Wright maybe angling for money because he fears losing and wants to softner the blow. But his point is that he is an undisputed champion and Tito has accomplished **** since losing to Hopkins. So, theres that side of the arguement also. Which one you believe, its up to you!

manny knocked him down 3 times and got outboxed the rest of the fight. that doesnt mean manny messed him up cuz of one round.


So are you saying that JMM won 11 rounds after the first?? :D
Why don't you give us how you scored it? :rolleyes:
