    Marquez Making 'Almost 4 million' against Mayweather

    But with a third fight against Pacquiao not in the cards right now (although maybe down the road), Marquez is taking on a massive challenge by moving up to welterweight to face unretiring Floyd Mayweather Jr., who yielded his No. 1 pound-for-pound spot when he retired last year. Marquez faces a very difficult fight, but give him credit for taking the risk. (Of course, the almost $4 million guaranteed payday made the decision much easier.) http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...dan&id=4163789

    When it comes to these types of things, Dan Rafael doesn't say anything without a credible source, so this has to be spot on. It sucks cause he should be getting more then that, Steve Kim said Mayweather's getting 15 million, that's like an 80-20 or 85-15 split for a fight he has to move up 9 pounds.

    He should have got 5 for this fight, atleast. But, at the end of the day 4 million is 4 million. Lol.

      That's probably his guarantee and he will most likely get a piece of the ppv.

        I don't believe Floyd is getting 15 Mill for a tune-up, that's serious money. The PPV would most likely sell 600k(I predict) or around there. 4 Mill is not little, that's triple of Marquez' previous highest check(in the Pacquiao rematch he got 1.Mill+)

            4 mill is not bad by our standards. But by their standards i think Marquez got the raw end of the deal, Mayweather is getting about triple his pay, plus Marquez is the one taking the risks here (moving up in weight etc.)
