De La Hoya Says Barrera Received $3 Million

[Bogler]

Okay, maybe I worded it wrong. Marquez was in a more exciting fight than Pacquaio was. Regardless of the reason, casual fans don't care who's fault it is. They saw a less than stellar fight with Manny, and a better fight with Juan. Happy now? By the way, it doesn't matter who had Barrera up in the Marquez fight, because the judges didn't.

the reason why jmm-mab looks more exciting is that mab came in to fight. he knows jmm can't KO him. against pac, he doesnt want to retire w/ a double KO against pac so he came in to survive, not to win.

Are Pac's people really bitching about how much they got paid for the fight??? If so, they need to stop that **** already! If Pac signed to fight, he knew how much he was making, end of story.

Barrera is a legend who gave boxing a great career and deserved a good payday to retire. Even though I gotta admit, $3 mil seems like a lot...the $2 mil that we originally heard seemed fair, but I guess this most-likely means that Manny got paid more than $2 mil as well. Better for him!

Anyway, I hope JMM doesn't price himself out so we can get this fight out of the way. Even with his draw with Manny and win over Barrera, plus holding the WBC title, I still don't think he should get paid what MAB got. His marketability isn't on the same level. Does anyone know how much he got paid for his fight with MAB? Whatever that amount was, a little more would be fair to take on Pac...maybe $2 mil tops. How much is he (or Nacho) asking for anyway???

Are you krazy? Marquez more exciting? He's been in one good, action packed fight, the one w/ barrera, only cuz he's getting old and had no choice. Marquez better stop bitching about the money, becuz if he does....he won't get this fight....and you know wat? He's gonna get old overnight, and no one would care about him becuz all he beat was an old barrera. He will not become a legend in this sport unless he beats pacquaio, he'll be a little ***** that cried everytime money came up. Pacquaio is the one that doesn't need anybody, he beat everybody already. He could sit back and let everyone no if they want to fight him, they're gonna have to fight the guys he's fought already and win by knockout. Manny could retire and we all no he didn't back down from anyone.
