It's not a good stylistic matchup for either guy. Probably not enough money for Malignaggi, too much risk for Marquez.
Paulie looks like he's going to take a gamble at beating Alexander, and see if that leads to a Mayweather/Pacquiao or Berto/Ortiz winner payday. Fighting May/Pac is wild fantasy, but I think that's pretty much how he's going to play it.
Two years ago Paulie was in negotiations with Mayweather AND Pacquiao following his win over Diaz and the first May-Pac negotiation fallout. Seemed he was guaranteed a shot at one of them. Times change fast in boxing.
