Marquez Wanted Manny Pacquiao Bout For Pride

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC super featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez “really wanted the fight (against Pacquiao) and made significant concessions” according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer who sealed the rematch with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum last Friday. [details]

I respect that. Too many fighters these days thinking too much about money. The pride, willingness to take risks to become part of history has been gone for the most part.

something very rare in the sport today. bhop and mayweather could learn a thing or 2 from fighters like that.

Got to give Juan all the respect for making this fight happen. It is just another great bout in the NEW greatest year in boxing history.

Didn't Barrera say the same thing

But seriously, Go Marquez. We better not be hearing "Pacquiao in great shape! He jogs everyday!" Articles everyday again.

"Pacquiao himself proved he isn’t scared of anybody by picking the dangerous l Marquez in the much-awaited rematch at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel and Casino on March 15 which will settle an old score last May 8, 2004 when Pacquiao dropped Marquez three times in the first round but hampered by leg cramps and looking for a one-punch knockout couldn’t finish the job allowing Marquez to come back with some tremendous counter-punching to salvage what to some was a controversial draw."

rofl, ****** nuthugger, why doesnt Ronnie add that the socks was the issue? "allowing marquez to come back..." wtf? Pacquiao allowed himself get counter-punched by being so ****ing one-dimensional!

wow you memorized every win by mexican to filipinos........ nice signature! but those filipinos are not considered legends..... but you know the cool thing is......

pacman vs barrera....... knock out 11th round
pacman vs morales....... morales win by decision with the help of a headbutt
pacman vs morales 2......... knock out 10th round
pacman vs morales 3......... 3rd round knock out
pacman vs barrera 2.......... barrera lost via decision coz he constantly run

wow they were legends THEN...... but now they retired.... i dunno because of who....... maybe because of a single person....... maybe its better if y'all would let Zorro fight pacquiao that would be a good fight...... or maybe esperalda! peace!
