So is Barrera "Cool" for taking the fight with Marquez?

I completely agree with you, but you and I both know that the situation in boxing is one where promoters are more about their politics and fueds than making good fights, and Pacman could havew avoided all that by signing into the goldenboy stable, they ALL would have cashed in, well except Arum.

Pac made that decision and that's unpopular even among us pacfans but that does not necessarilly mean that it wasn't a good decision.

Why do side with the promoters on this one?

IF two fighters belong to different promoters then let those promoters make the fight.

Why do we justify GBP not making the fight because PAC is with TOP RANK ? Its the fighters that climb the ring not GBP or TOP Rank.

so if Top Rank offered MAB 2.5M plus PPV shares, GBP and/or MAB should at least make a counter offer.

They did made a counter offer, the problem is GBP made that counter offer directly to Pac, they don't want to recognize Arum.

I also think that PAC should pick GBP.

TOP RANks offer must be at least double than that of GBP.

I think minimum purse from GBP is 2M while TOP rank 3M. plus the signing bonus is $400K for GBP and $1M for TOP rank.

But i also think that signing 2 contracts is not a smart thing to do.

Financially in the long run that's to be seen, he could have very well made the right decision, but in the short run from a fan's perspective he made the completely wrong choice.

I'm on christmas break, i leave my spelling for my comparative literature and english composition classes, right now I'm thinking about boxing.

It's alright bro, I'm kidding to lighten up the mood. We can have a good conversation here even if we are on different sides of the fence. Happy New Year BTW!!!!

The reason why I said it is unpopular among us pacfans. On the other hand, marco also made a very bad decision of going against marquez. He could have shown hoya who the boss is , twist his arm and ask him to give him pacman. Going against pac is the more profitable and honor redeeming fight for him.

I agree that he could have done that, but i won't blame him for taking on Marquez which will be a very difficult fight for him. I just think that he feels he can beat Marquez and Pacquaio will still be there, (although maybe still unavailable) or else he would try to get that career sealing Pacquiao (financially and either done due to a loss or redemption) fight now.
