i can not beleive what i heard on golpe a golpe show arum saying NO 1 outside of boxing knows who JM marquez is that they confuse him with juanma lopez i think its backwards at this point only hardcore boxing fans know who is juanma lopez marquez is popular with every mexican and mexican american..pacquiao said he wont fight marquez because he doesnt think people will purchase the fight..OK...what about jashua clottey who has 0-fan base LOL.this midget is truely getting exposed as a DUCKER
I've come to live with the fact that Pac-Shane is going to happen next. If Mayweather fight doesn't happen, I see Berto or Marquez coming next. Marquez would have the upperhand with PPV this time.
edit: and as bad as a 140-147 fight would be, I see people excusing Pac more than Floyd due to the fact that both fighters would come in under 149 on fight night.
Bob's obviously lying on this one. Marquez was part of the highest selling fight (under WW) in the history of the sport with his 2008 bout against Manny Pacquiao.
Also If I'm not mistaken....outside of Floyd and Manny, he has been in more PPV's than anyone else (maybe Cotto... I'm not sure).
Still....this fight is a waste as Marquez doesn't last more than 5-7 rounds. Floyd got heat for taking on Marquez above 135 as did Khan.
IMO Manny should get the same heat if he chose Marquez as his next opponent.
he was on the ropes alot he let katsidis land all he had
That's more attributed I think to age. Roy Jones, James Toney and even Pacquiao to an extent have ventured closer and closer to the ropes for longer periods of time as their legs got older.
the old piece of sh** souldn't worry about the outside world of boxing,he should stop hiding duckquiao behind scales,top rank and catch weights...the TRUTH is he beat duckquiao twice.
lol so juanma is bigger than juan manuel marquez according to arum, yeah juanmas a celeb in puerto rican communities but thats mainly down to felix trinidad and ivan calderon backing him publicly
Arum is a true scumbag. Robert Lee who is the founder of the IBF told people that Arum said " I let the blacks and latino's fight inside the ring while i count the money outside of it" He also is on record making the racist comment about all ufc fans being white skinheads.
People like Bob Arum should NEVER complain or bemoan the lack of interest for Boxing in American, the emergence of MMA, as its people like him who are responsible.
Let's hope Bob Arum dies sooner rather than later.
Don't be a prick.

Anyway as a promoter its his job to say **** like that, I don't exactly agree with his statements, I doubt he agrees with half the stuff he says but when you're trying to sell a product against a rival you hype your brand up.
You don't exactly hear Nike saying Addidas are better for sports wear.
lol! you said that 'jmm will have a diff game plan like what he did to katsidis by not going toe to toe" what's funny and confusing about your opinion is that jmm went "toe to toe" with katsidis in that fight and if this is what jmm game plan then he wont last long with pac!.
he was on the ropes alot he let katsidis land all he had
marquez will have a new gameplan he wont put himslef in harms way by going toe-toe with pac like he did the last 2 fights if he does what he did to katsidis he will beat pacquiao 8-4 on score cards.

This greedy fu*k is only talking sh*t about Marquez now because he no longer promotes him.
Marquez will get beat AGAIN by PACQUIAO! And really, taco beristain is very overated, and the fight if it happens is at 147, not 142 or 140! It will be at 147!!!! PACQUIAO is the MAN, you fight at what HE says the fight will be at!!! Pac don't need Marquez, Marquez is the one who needs a payday and will recieve an *SS whipping and the payday for accepting the fight!!!!
Nacho Beristain is a hall of famer and has produced plenty of Mexican champions under his leadership, quit hating.... :smashfrea
He's right, very few outside of boxing know who Juan Manuel Marquez is.
But Marquez is very much so the more popular of those two guys, and it's not even close. Lopez has yet to really establish himself as a dominant fighter against top opposition the way that Marquez, who has been in marquee matches (including the highest grossing bout PPV under lightweight in history against Pacquiao) his whole career.
Pac don't need Marquez, Marquez is the one who needs a payday and will recieve an *SS whipping and the payday for accepting the fight!!!!
I'd rather see Pac fight Marquez instead of Mosley.
