Manny Pacquiao lied

Super_Lightweight18y ago

This sucks, as a Pac fan. I think he may need to move to 135. But, he's fighting Marquez at 130. This makes me unsure if Pac will have the energy necessary to beat Marquez. Blargh.

Comments (11)

He lied because the fans clamor for him to settle the score with Marquez? Anyways from all Ive read, it was just Arum trumpeting the 135 not him. I personally wouldve like him to take JMM before going up.

18y ago

What sucks even worse is they are fighting for a vacant title, but if Pacquiao wins he'll just vacate it again. It sucks. I hope Marquez pulls it out so he'l win The Ring title and make another title defense. THey are fighting for marquez's belt

18y ago

I don't think Pacman will be weight drained for the fight.

18y ago

Isn't the fight at 132 anyway? Or am I making that up?

18y ago

I wasn't sitting in on these conversations, but I was under the impression that Arum wanted the David Diaz fight (he promotes them both) and Roach wanted the JMM fight. Apparently Roach got the last word, plus there was better money in the Marquez fight. I can concur with that ssumption. I am pretty sure Arum felt the Diaz fight was much easier for him while the JMM fight was what Roach w anted to clear the score. It could be a very good year for Manny Pac if he does what he needs to do.

18y ago

He wanted to fight David Diaz but that's not what the people want. They want the Marquez rematch. Arum convinced him to battle with Marquez and delay the Diaz fight. I'm glad....things need to be settled before JMM gets older.

He said he was done at 130. Remember? My bad. I'm pretty sure this will be his last fight at 130 before he fights David Diaz. Personally I think he is doing the right thing by settling the score with JMM. To me, the fans win this way.
