Not sure about that but it'll do monster numbers.
I don't really want to see it, though.
Like that matters.

Um... no. No, it won't.
I know the 'Flo-mo' and 'Pac-t*rd' stuff can really make anyone who spends too much time on boxing/sports message boards cynical about that fight, but that really would have been one of the all-time hyped match-ups in boxing, so let's not go crazy here and diminish what that fight could have/should have been just because it's fun to mock one guy or the other.
That said, will Pac/Marquez V (should it happen, and I really hope it doesn't) do good numbers? Quite possibly. I don't know what the promotion will consist of after they promised that 'THIS FIGHT WILL SETTLE IT!', just like they promised III would 'FINALLY SETTLE IT!', only difference here is that IV actually seemed like it settled it.
There is no weird judging controversey of a 'maybe' victory here. Pacquiao got KO'ed in dramatic Ricky Hatton fashion here. This wasn't some ticky tack ref over protection KO. This was 'I don't know if he wakes up before Christmas' KO.
That being said, this is possibly Arum's only real draw left (outside of maybe a Bradley rematch) where he can really command a huge payday for Pacquiao and Marquez has a good bargaining position for even more cash in a rematch, too, so there is definitely money in this, and we all know that cash rules everything around, so...
Oh, final note... I hate the idea that Marquez 'owes' it Pac for another one because Pac did the same for him. Pac didn't give Marquez a rematch for Marquez's benefit. Those fights were arranged because they drew, they were one of the few decent alternatives to Mayweather, and Pac never once beat Marquez decisively.
You cannot say the same about what Marquez just did.

Five times is too much especially when we would like to see other fighters fight each other for the first time. Look at how many fights Robinson had it's hard not to think he didn't fight LaMota ten times lol
I would prefer not to see another fight but if It does happen I'm not going to miss it.Last edited by minasyan; 12-09-2012, 05:32 AM.
