if Arum pulls this off, this is the biggest event in boxing of 2012 and easily trumps Mayweather-Cotto.
TR has to separate themselves a bit from the "corruption" thing. Vegas probably isn't a good look for that fight right now if it happens.
It would sell in Texas but boxing fans are already skeptical of the commission there. Obviously Mexico isn't neutral ground but I think there or LA would be the only places where the public would perceive that 1) JMM can get a fair shake and 2) a win for Manny wouldn't immediately be under suspicion if it's another close fight...
I would love to see it in Mexico just as a throw back the the atmosphere of JCC Jr/Haugen or something like that but it's not quite neutral ground lol. It would be a fkkn spectacle, but PPV's here in the US might hurt, etc so I kind of agree with you there.
I think having it in LA would obviously sellout, have a split crowd with slight majority JMM support, mixed in with real deal boxing fans...good commission imo, built-in media market to help promotion, same amount of celebs, boxing town, etc. might creative SOME positive feelings about the fight in such a toxic atmosphere around these proposed rematch.
la is practically mexicans everywhere, lol, it doesnt make a difference if in texas, mexico df , los angeles, lol, those 3 sites will over outnumber pacs fan base mainly because those 3 sites are extremely full of mexicans,
This fight isn't happening in Mexico.
Only an idiot would believe a Pac vs Marquez fight goes down there.

It would be good if they fight for their FINAL FIGHT and lay it to rest...though it sounds good initially for Pacquiao to fight Marquez in Mexico, it could be a hostile environment. How about a neutral place....
• Maybe in London, England
• Maybe in New Jersey? LOL
• Maybe in Zaire (like Ali-Foreman)
• Thrilla in Manila is out of the question due to neutrality. But they could have fought one in Manila (previously) and then in Mexico City (for the 4th). TOO LATE.

it should be if you just want to make a mass fortune, mexico is the top boxing country as fanwise and mexico city is one of the biggest cities in the world, azteca stadium will make anything in the u s of a look small, problem is marquez is from mexico city so it will be a all pro marquez atmosphere
PAC by devastating KO. He is now hungrier than ever. He wants a JMM fight to prove he is still the world's best. WAR PACMAN!!!
yeah sure he cant even knock out pillow punching bradley! it will go 12th rounds again, judges will give it to pacquiao again
You mean if he gets ROBBED. It won't happen if Pacquiao can close the show
mexican fans are honest fans, lol, when chavez jr won nin a fight they thought he lost against vanda i think, lol, they threw beer at his azz and bottles and they booed the younger chaves,
Another dam CW that kills an opponent , how about Manny just go up to 154 and fight for that title for real not some BS 150 CW for a 154 title .
yeah you know, lol, boxing has come to this, pacquiao gets robbed after robbing marquez to set up a catchweight fight in mexico thatll ruin chavez jr lil chance of winning, lol, i still love boxing even though its ****ed up as ****
then make manny vs chavez jr at a catchweight, one is a superstar and the other is a undefeated star and son of a all time great legend , lol, itll also be mexico vs the phillipines for possibly a ninth different weight division title for pacquiao

If Pac wins a decision there will be a riot just like the one in Argentina. He shouldn't do it.
thats only if he wins a decision like in the third marquez fight
Soto would never get a shot, he's been trying to follow Pac and JMM up in weight for the last 3-4 years, I dont think he could fight at WW to be honest
was thinking the same for soto..................well then, chavez jr???????????
We have seen it 3 times already and to be honest I dont want to see it again , to sell this fight in Mexico is all about money and the fight wont be any different than if it were held at the MGM , fight Mayweather Manny anywhere and that will be bigger than any fight Manny can take , waaaaaaaaaaay bigger !

there isn't enough $$$ in a rematch at this point... I know bradley would love it, but $$ wise, I dont know why they took the risk from the get go. They knew Bradley had a small fan base. the people that bought the PPV wanted to see Pac. If Pac is going to carry an event it might as well be against any ole fighter with less risk maybe a magicman in a really small ring and let Pac swing away. Paulie's legs would get tested for sure. Throw a millie at Paulie and he will bite

I don't think people want to see Salido-Gamboa again.
But I admit that is a great idea. Mexico Vs. The World.
Juanma wants to fight but cant in the states. Mexico it is...And he is Bob's too
