"A lot has been said that if I sign with Golden Boy, the third fight with Manny Pacquiao will not happen. But I do not know if that's something that the people still want to see. Right now I'm in no hurry."

Looks like Oscar doesn't want him to run away for a fight with Manny. They didn't even put that offer on the table.

Why keep chasing Pacquiao and play his B side, when you can enhance your own legacy by defending your titles against the best in your division and be the A side attraction. That's what true champions due, and Marquez already proved he can more than hang with the "pnd4pnd" best, so no offer regarding that issue was probaly needed. Like Randy Moss would say, Marquez just wants to see "straight cash homie."

People want to see a 3rd pac vs JMM......

But JMM should not over-price himself......go up to Welterweight and fight Pac....

I honestly don't think we see JMM vs Pac unless the Floyd fight doesn't fall through. Both fighters are nearing the end of their careers, especially JMM.

He wants Pac and thinks he can beat him but I don't think he can at this stage of his career and at the weight Pac would want to fight him.

JMM should just finish out his career with Guerrero and maybe some other names out there and retire the legend he is.

We know he went 1-1 with Pac, we don't need the official results.

I'm not saying it's a bad decision, I'm just laughing because Oscar was so adamant about making that fight happen over Pac-Mosley four months ago. NOW he's probably telling him it's a useless fight.

This, all true fans know JMM won at least one of those fights.

Marquez already got whooped twice against a green Pacquiao. Its obvious that Pacquiao is all he thinks about. When hes at home drinking piss and getting bj's from other dudes hes thinking about Pacquiao.

Hey Marquez guess what, no one wants to see your piss drinking ass get owned again especially since you aint a draw and don't have a title.
