This fight needs to happen again, its the only fight that really matters and when a guy is robbed, maybe thats an extremem word but he was the champion and im one that feels a champion must be beaten clearly and Marquez clearly was not. It looks like Pac wants no part of it though, Marquez even said is willing to fight at 135 or 140 if he has to. read the whole article at fight news. com
Golden Boy Promotions, CEO Richard Schaefer and Top Rank president, Bob Arum got into a highly volatile debate at last night’s post fight press conference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schaefer: “I find it hard to believe that a judge was changed in the week leading up to the fight. That same judge scored the fight 114-113 for Pacquiao. There is no fight fan in the world that doesn’t want to see this again. We can all agree that there was controversy.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arum: “As a promoter it would be silly to do an immediate rematch after another just happened. It does not allow you to maximize the revenue. You have to let the cake bake in the oven before it is ready to be served.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arum: “I don’t feel comfortable for the title to be given out by a magazine, especially if I don’t have a part of ownership of the magazine.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schaefer: ““Obviously Bob Arum is a more experienced promoter than I am so I am willing to buy out Pacquiao for six million dollars right now because this is the fight that the fans want. Coincidentally Marquez asked Pacquiao asked for a rematch inside the ring and Pacman immediately said no.”
for the record at the presser Manny said that it was up to his promoter to make the fight when JMM asked him for a third fight so he never said no. It's Arum who is balking at a third fight and even then he said he wanted to put "air" between this one and a third one because PPVs coming off back to back fights dont do well and cited Pavlik Taylor II as a source. I agree as the Barrera Morales trilogy spanned from 2000 to 2004 and it did well numbers wise. I think its smart to let this build again but to still have it by late 08 early 09.
The boxingscene article also says his immediate reactions was a no, but im thinking this fight will definately happen again, if its at 135 I dont think it will be immediately and Pac might grab that belt to make the third one also for a championship.

Pacquiao had told Marquez who asked for a title rematch at the end of the bout last Sunday that he was basically not willing, but appeared to be ready to change his stand if he felt the price is right.

No offence to Marquez but Pac has more lucrative fish to fry. Why fight Marq for 6 mil when he will end up fighting Hatton for 10+. I do think there should be a rematch though, this could be another great trilogy.
In the heat of the event that just happened pacquiao might have said that but later on says:
PACQUIAO: WE CAN FIGHT AGAIN!

ok schafer said it.
Until a journalist writes it down its a complete BS.
I cant help but wonder how one judge got it 115-112 to Pacqiou!
same with Lederman's 115-112 for Pac. Some would also wonder how another judge had it 115-112 scored for JMM. This same judge who had JMM winning incidentally scored the 12th round to Pac.
But come to think of it. It's just a couple of rounds swing. so it's acceptable.
really? is that in spanish? you fuckin liar. show me an article and i'll take it back
read the original post, all of it, instead of just jumping to the end of the thread.
Marquez asked him in the ring, and Pac said no. Thats what Schaefer said.
who is making shit up? its in the press release that was said after the fight. Did you read the article?

K lol what a fucking pussy.
He knows he'd have an equally tough time sliding by on the judges ballhugging. They see him put his hands in the air after taking a flush combo in an exchange and they score the round 10-7 for Pac.
once is enough for a wise man... You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough. now he got two chances already. sorry game ova
