Ok lets be real, boxing is a sport as much as it is a business. If I recall, after Marquez beat Diaz during his post fight interview Eric Gomez whispered in Marquez ear and thats when Marquez called out Mayweather. I honestly think GBP did this on purpose to lure Mayweather out cause they know Mayweather would take that challenge (hence Hatton calling out Mayweather).

Golden Boy knew that Mayweather will be up for the challenge especially since Marquez is the smaller guy. Since Golden Boy cant get the big fight with Pacquiao and Marquez there gonna try to bank on Marquez vs. Mayweather using Marquez as bait. Golden Boy in the end goes home laughing straight to the bank while Marquez looses to Floyd and also looses his 3rd chance for Pacquiao.

I don't think that's what happened, but the theory makes sense. GBP has sold out their guys before, so it ain't above em to do it wit JMM. I just think JMM challenged Mr boat buyer to spite Pac, cuz he knew that fight was a hot topic ever since Pac-DLH.

Come on we all know Mayweather took this fight cause all the advantages are with him especially now that Marquez has to move up. Golden Boy used Marquez to lure out Mayweather. They know Floyd would take it and now the fight is made and GBP are gonna cash in.

But it makes sense doesnt it. GBP knows that a Pac vs. JMM fight isnt happening anytime soon so the only best money fight out there for JMM is Floyd. Floyd will take the challenge obviously cause Floyd knows all the advantages are with him. Seriously how long does Marquez have left at his age? Might as well get the most out of him will he's still on top if not with Pac then with Floyd. Its the business side of the game.

Mayweather took this fight to try to show Pacquiao up because Pacquiao's been showing him up most likely.

True, why hasnt Pac vs. JMM 3 havent happened and it aint cause Pac is ducking, Arum knows that was a hard fight for Pac. So what does Arum do, skip that 3rd fight for now and put Pac against fighters that wont give Pac as much trouble. Now Arum has Pac right where he wants him, on top of the boxing world and entertaining even to the nonboxing and casual fans. Promoters milking there fighters.

Marquez and GBP conspiracy?
