bob arum is enthusiastic about a possible 5th fight between pacquiao and marquez. arum said that pacquiao-marquez 5 is now the biggest fight in boxing, bigger than pacquiao–mayweather. arum is well pleased with the ppv that pacquiao-marquez 4 produced and said the original timetable for pacquiao’s next fight of april 20 is now off the table because of the nature of pacquiao’s devastating one punch ko at the hands of marquez adding that because of the magnitude of the match a considerable amount of time would have to be given to the promotion of the fight. arum said pacquiao and marquez can do the fight somewhere else outside vegas, and that’s at the dallas cowboys stadium.
freddie roach also agreed to have a rematch and said it should be held as soon as possible. pacquiaos performance in his fourth fight with marquez is proof that the pacquiao still has got what it takes to continue fighting.
asked if he will attend pacquiao’s birthday bash on December 17, roach said he couldn’t because of the many things he had neglected as he was concentrating on pacquiao’s training at the wild card gym.
your thoughts?
If they fight again one them will be physically ruined if not die as a result.
If their last fight had gone to 12 rounds at the way they were going at each other it would have hurt one or both of them real bad. It's really interesting how we spend money and time to watch them try to beat each other senseless for our amusement and later say or post some message of sympathy for the badly beaten.
But we had fun in their 4th fight......bring on the 5th!!!!!!!!!!! Who cares in what terms or where they fight, deep down inside them their only fighting for themselves anyway.
I understand all of that, but neither still has been interested in OSDT, can Arum & Team Pac really go against their stance of OSDT and now all of a sudden agree to OSDT?:nono:
It's very simple man,
If team pacquiaco (bob arum included) doesn't follow the instructions that JMM is asking for, then the fight won't happen.
Miguel herieda said in an interview a few hours before the fight that they would do OSDT as well and even juan himself was asking for it.
you really think an immediate rematch of the 4th fight will generate enough interest so JMM can get a 25 million dollar purse?:pat:
I believe that marquez now holds the cards and he will most definitely push for more money because he calls the shots now.
not only that but he will MAKE the fight happen in Mexico, He's been asking for a huge fight in MEXICO CITY for the longest and now that hes calling the shots he won't let this opportunity slip by unless of course he retires which is all good.
Money split: Marquez 65% - 35%
Location: Mexico
Testing: Full Random Blood and Urine testing
Weight Stipulations: Manny can't come in above 144lbs or suffer severe fines
make it happen.
I'd rather not.
Plus, doesn't Marquez want Olympic style testing for all his fights from now on? If he sticks to that, I'm not so sure Pacquaio will accept it.
Are you serious?
Who do you think are biggest purchasers of PPV in boxing are? Mexicans.
Did you here the crowd chanting and cheering for Marquez. Marquez sold majority of tickets it was a pro Mexican crowd as always.
I didn't here no cheering from Filipino side during the fight...not once.
If Marquez gives Pac a c ,,,hance again he will dictate the terms this time around.
I think you are the one that doesn't know anything about boxing.
Show Marquez 1million ppv buys vs anybody besides Pacquaio and Mayweather.
Pac has never done OSDT and Marquez hasnt done it either....I dont think he did Random OSDT vs Mayweather....so why would either of then do it now?
Top Rank fighters dont take random tests
He's been talking about doing OSDT for his next fight.
pacquiao didnt have to give him a 3rd or 4th either, i think marquez owes team pac one. im sure he'll get a bigger split, maybe 10 mil.
if a fifth fight happens and im sure pac will be an underdog this time, i will put 500 bucks on pac.
Pac gave him a 3rd and 4th because there were doubts within himself and the boxing public that he had even won the prior fights.
Marquez has the luxury of knowing he put his man to sleep. There is no lingering doubts on whether he was man enough to win. If Pac wants revenge he's going to need to open his wallet.
If they don't give Marquez what he wants he can tell them to go fck themselves while he happily retires.
Do they really need to have a 5th fight? No wonder Pacs not motivated anymore. They can blame it on religion or whatever. How about going after some new blood already. This is getting ridiculous.
JMM should get a bigger split.
He doesn't have to have a fifth. He can retire happily if he wants to. They need to offer him some bank to make this happen.

Sure you don't know how boxing works. Marquez is not a cash cow.

Anymore questions?
Soooooo you dont want JMM to get his revenge against Floyd? Or his he not adjusted to the weight of 147lbs yet? You want him to rematch a guy he just layed out flat? :lol1:
Pacquiao beat Marquez 2 times but still gave him a rematch.
Pacquiao made Morales quit but still gave him a rematch.
Pacquaio gave Barrera a worst beating in his career but Pac still gave him a rematch. Money talks dude.
Someone creates a profile on a forum thats new and they are automatically an ALT? In that case, anyone who signed up new to this forum in 2012 in an ALT? hmmmmm
in any case.....Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing....None of Pacs fight vs JMM have sold more than Mayweathers fight vs JMM...so why would you think that after Pac getting Iced that a 5th fight with JMM would generate more interest, attention or revenue than a rematch with Mayweather?:pat:
Well, the first time around it was a dream match of sorts. Not one in super high demand, but for me it was. Of course I knew of the weight issues, but I just wanted to see them in the ring together. I was happy to pay just for that and watch them try to out think each other. I wouldn't really mind seeing it again now that JMM looks better at the weight but that's just me.
They would need to have JMM fans on board for the fight if it is to be a successful PPV again and I'm not sure there is much to work with to promote a rematch to fans who know styles make fights.
In that case Pacquiao is coming off 2 loses in a row...he no one to be calling shots...LOL
