I can't believe people here think Marquez is a draw... Talk about delusional.
Mayweather is a bigger draw than Pacquiao. That's why he did 1 million against Marquez.
Pacquiao/Marquez won't even do 700K.
Marquez is a nobody... Shane Mosley drew 400K more against Floyd and he did it without a national holiday.
Why fight a guy who has no fans?
Marquez has been fighting C fighters for the last couple of years except Floyd.
If he didn't duck Khan like a *****, and beat him on Saturday he would have a claim for a shot against Pac.
Marquez asked for a 50-50 split last time.
I don't know why he's crying about Pacquiao when he's making stupid demands.
If he doesn't take a 95-5 split or a 90-10 split he won't get the fight.
who from japan and korea did they conquer? and floyd dont drink if he do i dont think he will get wasted. but yeah that was a shot towards manny. floyd=fun
he's giving a shoutout to his fans in those countries. notice how he says japan/korea i love you.
best fight the best?
anyone that saw alexander vs kotelnik knew that alexander isn't even top 5.
hbo needs to stop overhyping **** fighters and making it seem like a high level fight.
9/19/2009 Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Márquez ----1,050,000 PPV BUYS
5/1/2010 Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley ---- 1,400,000 PPV BUYS
Live Gate Attendance of their most recent fights:
Mosley vs Mora = 13, 592 (Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA)--> seating capacity(20,000).
Marquez vs Katsidis = 4,920 (MGM Grand garden arena, Las Vegas, NV) --> seating capacity(17,000).
and Mosley is not with GBP while JMM is with GBP.
this says it all. numbers don't lie, mosley is a much bigger draw than marquez. casual boxing fans don't care if JMM beat guys in fights that they don't even bother to watch.
bradley's best win is Alexander, who was exposed by kotelnik. guess what khan did to kotelnik?
it's clear bradley saw what happened to berto and he wants to fight more bums before he gets exposed and loses his million dollar pay days.
if he ducks khan, absolutely. he has no fans and he isn't in a position to make demands.
at least hypejobs like alexander can sell out his hometown, but this guy can't sell out his backyard.
If Haye KO's Wlad, the Vitali fight might not even happen.
Haye will demand like a 90-10 split which will piss Vitali off.
But then again, Vitali is pretty badass and might take the fight even with a bad split.
Mayweather fought a 30% Mosley. He wasn't allowed to use roids thanks to the Olympic style testing.
That's why the old man gassed in 2 rounds. The fight was a joke.
Fedor is just way too small. He was able to dominate the smaller HW's from back then but Bigfoot is 280lbs (according to the announcer) so he can't stop his takedowns.
if he just cuts to 25lbs to 205, he wouldn't be losing like this.
sad ending fight for the most exciting fighter in mma and one of the best ever.
it has very little to do with size. Fedor has beaten guys like Semmy Schilt, Hong Man Choi, Brett Rodgers, Mark Hunt and Tim SYlvia....all big bastards.
hes just past his best, and was never the best around on his feet or on his back. he always excelled on top of his opponents.
None of those guys know how to wrestle though. Semmy Schilt/HMC/Hunt are K-1 strikers with 0 wrestling experience. Rogers is a full time mechanic and Tim Sylvia is...
Size and strength matters more in MMA than boxing imo, because you can't get back up when someone takes you down and is way stronger than you.
Marquez doesn't have any fans.
Shane/Floyd drew 40% more than Marquez/Floyd and that was on MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY.
The casuals simply don't care about Marquez if you look at the numbers.
Even though Shane is a ****ty fight, at least Shane will draw more fans + ask for less money than Marquez.
Pacquiao should fight Bradley. Bradley is slowly becoming a star (12,000 arena fight?) and he will draw more than Marquez.
de la hoya should pay someone to run his company. maybe someone that knows what the **** they're doing.
i won't be surprised if arum told donaire to join golden boy so he could own them in a lawsuit. he wants to kill golden boy slowly and it's working.
this should be about 25:1 for floyd.
honestly, just bet your money on floyd and you're guaranteed to cash out.
just because he beat a bum like berto doesn't mean he has any chance against someone as special as floyd.
Shane/Floyd drew 40% more than Marquez/Floyd and that was on a Mexican holiday.
Draw wise, Marquez is a nonentity. He should be happy with 5%.
I don't give a **** about either fight though. I want Pac to fight Bradley or Berto.
