Is JMM the most horribly mismanaged high profile boxer ever?

[Haglerwins]

How so? SSM has fought high profile fights for over 10 years now. He has made ALOT of dough. He fought everybody. He matched up bad with Forrest and Wright but fought them anyway. He got beat by Cotto but fought a great fight.

The man can't a draw a dime though. It's one of the most depressing things going. It must eat at him Floyd gets the shine, and here he is with the exciting style and outside of mixing it up with DLH, he's ignored on the PPV side.

Mosley's face should be all over TV. Terribly managed career.

Oh, and can we not forget he's being treated like a homeless man right now when it comes to a big fight.

If the fight with Floyd was his last fight I'd say it was good business, still a mismatch. But he's the LW champion, he has to loose weight again when he's too old for that, this remind me when RJJ came back from heavyweight and got K.Oed.

What were the alternative choices?

fight at 140 lbs and get acclimated to the excess weight.

Pros: Money

Cons: Got beat, future earnings, Exposure

fixed it.

the only think jmm got from this fight was a payday. jmm got bad exposure not good exposure. i mean he let them tape him drinking his own urine. this definitely hurts his future earnings cause now he'll never get pac or any of the other paydays at WW.

I feel sorry for JMM that drinking his urine didnt help him beat PBF, so it was all for nothing. Unless he has drunk his urine for years and likes that sipple.

JMM drinking his own urine sold the fight imho.... once jmm drank his own piss... a ****load of interest came to the fight

Marquez fighting Floyd is good for him IMO.

for his bank account, that's about it

If he didn't then he would have maybe fought a fighter who isn't as famous like another Chris John and lost.

yeah, but nobody saw that fight and nobody counts it... but everybody saw him getting whupped by floyd in an uneven fight... i mean jmm didn't even win one round.

I think he can beat a come forward fighter in Katsidis though. If he doesn't get tagged as much as Juan Diaz anyway. His chin can't take too many more wars.

he definitely should fight katsidis.

He made lots of money.

yep

He got some exposure

for drinking piss and not winning one round

and lost to the P4P number 1. It didn't hurt Hatton and he was embarassed

nah, man, it hurt hatton on the inside that he got KTFO. I'm sure it hurt JMM that he considers himself a master in boxing but got handled so easily by floyd. that **** gotta hurt.

and got to fight Manny for another huge payday.

yeah, but the british are just happy to have a guy... the mexicans may not be as forgiving.

Infact he may have Hatton next for another huge payday because he aint gonna beat Pac at 140.

its an ok fight.... for the runner ups to fight.

I feel Pac wuld have KO'd the Marquez that fought Floyd.

marquez can't fight heavy.. he lost his speed and has no power.

Who would he have fought at 140 to make that money?

*** the money, save some face and position yourself for a fight w/ pac (a guy that is closer jmm in size).

he should have drank his piss publicly in the begining of his career. he would have gotten more fights.

you think hamed,mab,em, & pac could live down ducking a piss drinker?

Come on man! Pac wasn't even thinking about fighting JMM!

I never said that... I said jmm should position himself for a rubbermatch with JMM... look, while pac is ****in around w/ WWs... JMM can unify 140 lbs... eventually pac will come back to 140, because pac is too small for WW and the paydays will dry up... that's what jmm should've did.

that's the hardway...

but jmm tried to do it the easy way and got stomped. now jmm's rep (as a master boxer with unparalleled skills) is affected by being completely outclassed by pbf.

Exactly. He became impatient and too overzealous.

You have to take his age into consideration when you think like that. To unify 140....which I don't think he could have done and wait for Pac to come back down could have taken him 4 more years. He would be 40/41 by that time and severely eroded skill wise.
