Comments Thread For: Arum on Pacquiao's Health, Staging Marquez Rematch

[Concord76]

The only one who needs a complete brain check up is Arum. He'll squeeze every last penny out of Pacqauio regardless of his health. Arum cares about Arum and that's all.

Just like marquez deserved a third fight and fat paycheck from pacquiao right? And no, Marquez won neither of the first two fights.

The knockout came as a result of manny being too careless. He smelled blood from having marquez hurt, and went for the kill. Instead of coming in with his hands up, the last couple of rounds he came in with his hands around his waist, just looking to trade and ko marquez. It was a careless mistake, and marquez is too good to make careless mistakes against.

Marquez looked like a fish out of water those last couple of rounds. He couldnt answer pacquiao, and pac was really starting to lay it on him. He was on his way to catching a beating, and got the easy out with the ko punch. He didnt prove anything as far as im concerned, other than getting a definite victory saturday night.

If pac wants a rematch, he deserves it. Id expect more from an atg than to just run away.

that knock out came because marquez kept taggin pac with it, you can call it luck or perfect timing, if there is a 5th fight it will end the same. to me marquez beat pac on the first and 3rd fight ohh and the forth also.

you think JMM fighting an unknown opponent will be on PPV? pac fighting a b class fighter will surely be. so who's the bigger draw?

if ever they fight, i agree jmm has a big case to up his purse from the previous fight. but you're not facing reality if you think the purse split should be reversed. pac can just as walk away and get his millions the next fight while jmm will be fighting on hbo. money talks.

jmm does bring in a big crowd, if he didnt he sure as hell does now.

This should be Marquez terms

1. He gets the bigger share
2. They both take the test
3. Marquez should ask for a Manny weight of 138. Marquez already fought at Pacs desired weight and knocked him out, now lets turn the table and see how Pac likes it.

excellent post,

smh @ Ariza... The single biggest factor in the Marquez win was precise sharpshooting - timing. The second biggest factor was Pacquiao tripping over Marquez' foot as he planed into the finishing right hand. Alex Ariza must think the world revolves around him.

pac lost to a mexican ONCE.

should we do a tally of mexicans pac mexicuted?

savor this moment cabron. itll be short lived.

Marquez is the 2nd Mexican to give Manny a loss; time to brush up on your history. He's the first to do it in such a spectacular fashion. Manny owes as much to Mexican boxers as much as Marquez does to Manny. His legacy wouldn't be the same without them.

The mexicutioner thing is obviously not something he would pick for himself. That's all fans & media hype, but obviously adds to the drama. I'm sure Rios would give em a chance to continue his executioner legacy.

Manny was deliberately trying to step on Marquez' foot. The cheater got what he deserved.

Cannot agree with you more why should there be a fifth fight pacquiao said he wanted to leave no doubt marquez was saying he was robbed in their previous meetings and said he didn't want to put it in the hands of the judges marquez capitilized in vintage fashion I think this is closure and after the fight pac even wore the tee finished buisness when in fact it was marquez who finished buisness.

why? it's really simple:

1. 3 or the 4 fights foty contenders, last one the best
2. JMM gets to make at least 2x his career best purse

there's more, but bottom line, it's prizefighting, and most people prefer watching great fights.
