    That's some ****ed up ****, he's the champ and he signs a contract where he gets paid less and automatically has accept a rematch if he won. I repeat, that's some ****ed up ****.

      The thing is JMM wasnt the Draw in this fight, Even though he is a very very good fighter he just doesnt have the same drawing power like pacman did, JMM had NO option but to allow all the stipulation in the contract becauseif not he would end up fighting for peanuts against unknown fighters.

          I completely understand why he would be upset. With that said, I have no problem with the decision that was casted

            thing also is jmm has been fighting in US soil twice the amount of time pac first fight here but pac has been exciting to watch since his first fight w/ ledwaba while jmm only lately has been more aggresive than a counterpuncher. ppl and promoters dont care about belts, ppl want excitement and promoters are greedy enough to take advantage of that.

              i agree. a lot of what has happened and IS happening is his fault. poor decision making has capped what could had been an amazing career.

                He could of been a star a long time ago but threw it away with that perfromance against Freddie Norwood. It took him forever to redeem himself, wasted a lot of prime yrs in obscurity.

                    I feel for Marquez. Pac didn't impress me that much.

                      Marquez still got his biggest purse to date. At 35.....I can understand why he wants another match with Pac.
