Diaz: "Me and Pacquiao, an All-Out War"

[Papa Ace]

I agree, but I bet what happens is that Pac fights David Diaz now, then fights Marquez in the middle of the year and then hopefully if were lucky Pac will fight for a third time in the year and fight Juan Diaz.

Yeah I think thats the track is going although theyre ridiculously looking at the 3rd fight to be with DLH. Maybe JMM for the meantime should move and challenge Santa Cruz thats good too.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

What type of bills does he have? 350K and he spent it all. Diaz should fight the people's champ Santa Cruz and Pacquiao should take on Marquez. Thats what SHOULD happen for boxing.

Minus taxes, manager, co-promoter 8 Count Promotions, training expenses, trainer = 125K if he's lucky.

Maybe Pac will do a Mayweather, beat David Diaz and Casamayor, but then duck Juan Diaz, and call himself the best lightweight in the world.

Diaz drooling over possible Pacquiao fight

David Diaz is not embarrassed to admit that he sees lots of dollar sign when told about a Manny Pacquiao fight.

"I am not a greedy person," Diaz, the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion told the Bulletin yesterday morning from his Chicago home. "But I have a family and I need to earn and it is Pacquiao that would guarantee a big paycheck."

"I think I deserve it," Diaz answered when told if $ 1 million will be enough.

The 31-year-old Diaz, who is of Mexican descent, said he "had barely enough" after winning over Erik Morales last August and a Pacquiao fight would help his family of four in their needs.

"The bills just keep on coming," said Diaz, who was paid $ 350,000 in the Morales fight, a far cry from the millions that Pacquiao has been getting the past several years.

Diaz lives in the Windy City with wife Tanya and kids David Anselmo, who is 2 and a half years old and Elias Armando, who is six months old, and is aching to land a megabuck payday.

A lefty like Pacquiao, Diaz holds a 31-1-1 win-loss-draw card with 17 knockouts and was a decorated amateur fighter, having been a three-time US Golden Gloves champion and a member of the US squad to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Diaz is the frontrunner in the race for the coveted post of becoming Pacquiao’s opponent on March 15, 2008 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas although WBC superfeatherweight titlist Juan Manuel Marquez is also being seriously considered because of some unfinished business with the Filipino southpaw.

While money makes Diaz drool over Pacquiao, his desire to lock horns with Pacquiao further heightened when told that there’s never been a Filipino boxer who has ever won the world lightweight title.

Flash Elorde failed twice in the 1960s to capture the 135-lb crown, while other losers include Bert Somodio, Andy Ganigan, Dindo Canoy and Randy Suico.

"Is that so?" Diaz responded. "It’s only motivating me even more," Diaz said. "When Morales fought me, he was aiming for a third title."

If and when he answers the bell against the 28-year-old Pacquiao, Diaz had this to say: "It’s going to be an all-out war."

Unlike Diaz, the 33-year-old Marquez is making noise in an effort to land a Pacquiao rematch, saying he is even willing to be paid lower than Pacquiao and that he is doing everything possible for them to come to terms.

Marquez concluded that in the event Pacquiao opts to face Diaz, then it would only mean that Pacquiao is scared of him.

Meanwhile, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum said "Manny Pacquiao hasn’t made a decision" on the choice of his next foe.

An internet report said on Wednesday that Diaz had already been chosen by Team Pacquiao.

"That’s absolutely not true," said Arum although he is openly batting for Diaz, who is a Top Rank fighter.

Arum said that Marquez is "the last of the 130-pounders" and at lightweight, "there’ll be a whole number of guys" who’ll provide much bigger **** for the bucks for Pacquiao although he admits that a Pacquiao-Marquez rematch looks "appealing" at this point.

"Joan Guzman is a runner," said Arum, referring to the way Guzman emerged victorious from Top Rank fighter Humberto Soto over the weekend.

Arum said a decision will be made in the next few days after he confers with Pacquiao in the US.
