On his own he can't draw flies.

The guy always needs Pacquiao to make fans watch him.

I guess you aren't aware of the 25,000 seat arena he sold out.

That's a pattern for Marquez. ("pattern" is often used these days.)

His stock is usually raised after a Pac fight. Fans then start taking notice. His fights with Katsidis, Diaz, Casamayor, etc. were just massively watched for free via internet stream. You were one of those who were asking for a stream link, remember? In other words, even so-called boxing fans would rather not pay to watch his fights.

50/50 of Pac's 6 mil purse is kinda pathetic when you think about it. Marquez got paid more fighting Fredchenko lmao.

Taking the statements at face value you are the idiot. If the capacity of the MGM is 16k it should be easier to sell out that a stadium with a capacity of 25k.

Your point about the Clottey fight is valid.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told Sports Illustrated that he was approached on Thursday by Top Rank for a trilogy bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. A shocking demand was made by Marquez. He requested a 50-50 split on the money with Pacquiao. For a guy chasing a Pacquiao trilogy since their 2008 rematch, Marquez found an amazing way to say "no thank you." [Click Here To Read More]

50-50???

[therealpugilist]

Marquez deserves 50/50 all their fights are close...he is a champion in his own right and out of 3 of those fights he should at least have one win...especially the last one....Marquez is a great fighter and will never get a win over Pacquaio unless he kayos him....might as well get paid if youre gonna get robbed again
