Pac offered him a rematch right after and JMM turned it down and fought for way less money and went all the way to Indonesia to fight a guy who was a nobody at the time... So how did JMM wanted Pac more then what Pac wanted him at the time? And, again you not even looking at the time frame. He was barely at 130 for a whole year at the time... He was at 122 4yrs prior... To ask him to move up to 135 was probably asking too much for a jump...

    And, again Morales and the Judah situation was the damn same situation there is no way you can spin it... Both fights were not signed but were agreed upon... And, just like how people wanted to see Floyd-Judah, people also still wanted to see Pac-Morales... There is nothing different about that situation the only thing different is that Zab had really a paper title but that can cancel out cuz Morales had a victory over Pac... So is the same scenario...
    they not the same Jro....a paper title is still better than NO title and Morales got spanked against raheem. Judah was atleast competitive and everyone chalked it up to a off night!



    and wasn't Pacquaio weighing like 140+ at his fights back then on fight night. i hardly think 135 was too much for him then. And besides, Raheem isn't a big 135er and his style doesn't impose weight. he a boxer, weight wouldn't have been a factor.

      spinks was bargaining ploy for Baldomir to come down in his ridiculous price demand. he never wanted to fight Spinks.

        Judah was a great matchup.

          Murad Muhammad did the same to Pacquaio that Bob Arum is doing to Pacquaio and all his other fighters -- taking advantage of them. The only difference is that Bob Arum has a lot more money, power and influence, so when he takes 27 percent of Pac's purse on top of all the promotional money and forces Cotto to sign a two year extension if he wanted the Pacquaio fight, no one complains because the fighters still made a lot of money.

          If Mayweather had wanted to fight Margarito, he would have had to sign a two year extension with Arum just like Cotto. Cotto should have walked away just like Mayweather did. If he had, he would be fighting Mayweather for $15 million instead of the $7 million he received against Pac and the fight would have been at 147.

            This is like Bob Arum saying stuff about Mayweather but people still believe and eat up everything Arum says.

              Can I get proof from you that Arum gets 27% of Pac's purse after the the money he makes from the promotion of it please.

                    Jrose I know you know the lower weight classes like I do inside and out. Me and you both were fans of those divisions for a long time so you already know what it is. As a black person, I hate all of this racist ****, and black people like this make other black people look bad. I mean I have experience hard core racism living in Texas and to see a fa99ot like this use "race" when it isn't even needed, with very inaccurate statements, is disgusting.

                    We get it..Muhammad doesn't like Pac. Why bring the race card when it's not even needed.
