According to ESPN, Nacho Beristain admitted that Marquez has an offer of 15 million dollars (tax free) to fight the WBF champion Zolani Marali in Dubai.
He also mentioned that Marquez is ultimately going to take the decision, but according to Beristain that is a fight offer that can't be rejected.

Dubai is one of the richest cities in the world. Why wouldn't it be real?
They better put it on the April 20th card or on HBO though.
Yes, but when is the last time you had a card in Dubai? So the inaugural will be between a Mexican and a South African nobody's ever heard of, for the price that'll buy you the best fight card you can imagine not starring Floyd and Pac. Why not Marquez Morales then, it's not like it'd cost more? Why are they invested in this Marali dude? If Dubai is serious about boxing, why aren't they throwing $15m at Haye to fight Lebanese Charr, people there would care about that matchup?
Cause there's no chance the offer is real.

Some random muthafucka on the other side of the globe is offering him $15M to go kick his ass, why shouldn't he do it??

Huh?
This is probably more than he got for Pac or Floyd, if true!
He'd lose my respect not to take it.
Or, are you gonna tell me that you would take an easily winnable fight for FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS?
I do get it though. It sucks to take some ****ty, pointless fight for no reason just to wait out another Pac fight. Especially something like Vargas or Senchenko. :nonono:
15 million to fight some guy though....That's a winner in anyones language.
**** the Pac fight though! He just KHTFO brutally, with one punch. Forget it! I don't want to see a fifth fight. I wanna see him in with Garcia, Rios or Bradley.
Yeah except Pac 5 is the only fight that can get him 15m+. He can fight those 3 guys you listed, plus Marali 5 times and he won't make 15m.
So what's the problem, is it not easily winnable? Why would you rather see Marali than the 5th?
idk, this sh1t is getting pathetic.
I lost respect for Marquez.
