I don't quite see the appeal in these exhibitions, but if they want to do it, no prob. It's a good thing if they can raise some money for charity.

Is boxing in such a bad way ?

I would ask the samr question. However I am liking most of what we are getting so far this year. Good fights recently and coming up. What sucks is stuff like this getting all the attention.

Always felt like Marquez vs Cotto and Morales were the ones that got away. Probably would’ve been classics.

Eff an exhibition, make it a REAL fight!

lmao no testing, Marquez about to knock Cotto out.

If Marquez doesn't get the decision, even though it's an exhibition, he's still going to cry about the results.

If this fight happened in the past, even at 140, Cotto would take it and Marquez would once again, cry about the results.

Marquez feasted on come forward guys, Cotto would out box him and drop Marquez with his great hook, look what Katsidis did to Marquez.

I'm down for this one!

I always wanted this fight to happen when they were active. a 150-152 catchweight fight would have been awesome

Apparently this fight was in negotiations at one point but they couldn’t agree on the weight. Cotto wanted 150 while Marquez refused to consider anything higher than 147.

JMM must have ran through his money already. The man who wouldn't rematch Manny for $100M if offered has to dust off the trunks for Cotto.

Another glaring example of just how bad boxing is at the moment

[Willy Wanker]

They haven't been retired that long.

Why have an exhibition when they can have a real official fight? Make it an 8 rounder, f**k it.

It's an even playing field for both.

Whatever, should be fun even for an exhibition. I always wanted to see them fight, but their paths never really crossed.
