Should Marquez back out of the Mayweather fight?

[AllEyesOpen]

i'm done with joe.

i'm pissed off for marquez.

marquez got totally screwed. he got screwed when it was at 144.



he should have just waited after pac-hatton. he would have had leverage playing floyd and pac camps against each other for at least more money.

The Pac/Floyd fight would have been made before Marquez would have even been considered.

The bottom line is that Marquez knows that he is in the twilight of his career and he is mostly taking this fight for the money. He won't back out because of the weight. If they cut his pay, that would be a whole different story.

are you incinuating that marquez is fighting solely for the paycheck?

The word that I used was "mostly". That would apply to 99% of all fighters who have already reached the championship level and are near the end of their careers.

I think it's funny that I didn't hear half the amount of these types of comments when DLH called out Pacman. The difference is that Marquez called out Mayweather.

No the difference is DLH has been shot for some time. A decent win for the smaller Pac, just like Floyd would be a good win for JMM.

You don't see the difference between a guy that was p4p #1 last year and a guy that hasn't been #1 p4p for TEN years?

How did he get screwed though?

All he had to do was say.... nnnoooooooooooo.

[AllEyesOpen]

you're trippin'

everyone was bitching about that fight.

even pac fans like me didn't like it.

yeah but not even remotely as much as has been said so far, come on man the fights was announced 2 weeks ago.

To answer the original question. No! Why because JMM has every excuse in the world and is in a no lose situation.

here are some scenarios

Floyd Dominates and KO's him...JMM looses no points since everyone will say he was a career 126lb that just recently fought at lightweight.

Floyd UD's....JMM gains some respect for putting up a fight and going the distance.

Floyd wins SD...this is a victory for Marquez for defining the odds, going up in weight and making it close.

JMM win....ATG status


This is a high reward no risk fight for Marquez because Floyd isn't the type of fighter that will hurt him severly but just outbox and outclass him.

it was pretty bad.

don't know which is worse. probably more floydhaters than oscarhaters though.

i remember everyone was calling it a circus show even boxing writers and analysts.

i think he did. jmm always gets screwed over.



all the floyd stans thinking i'm just hating on floyd.

i am a floydhater but on this one i just feel bad for jmm.

The difference i see is in that DLH called out Pac and dangled the biggest payday of his life, as apposed to Marquez who called out Mayweather and is willing to fight whenever wherever for his biggest payday, people are acting like Marquez aint ****, but this is will be the toughest fight Mayweather has had in some time.

you have a point there. i just hope he still gets the pac-jmm 3 fight even though he loses.
