Comments Thread For: Marquez vs Diaz Rematch Close To Done For July 10

[Siggy]

Another fight thats a waste of time. Why would JMM do this instead of going for history and fighting a champ at 140. Even fighting his mando Katsidis would be something different. Dont get me wrong the Diaz fight was good and all but do we really need to see a rematch?

cuz the money aint right and he knows his limitations. he'll only fight above 135 if the money is right which would not be the case if he fought khan.

Why is everybody b!tchin'? The 1st fight was great and if the baby bull didnt get caught slippin he could've beat JMM. Ya'll can say what you want bout Juan Diaz, bit the kid is great for Boxing and has a TON of heart. I mean he was KO'd by JMM but still wants the rematch. This is what BOXING is all about. If I look at it with most of yall's logic then Joe Louis should've never gotten a shot at the title after Max Schmelling brutally KO'd him, right? Hell this is another great boxing match within the dry months of boxing(July and August).

Thank you mate, it was pleasure to read that, it could not have been said better!

PPV? You've got to be kidding me! Diaz and his people are clearly cashing in their chips. I would be amazed if Diaz fights more than 1 more time after this. Will ANYONE pay for this fight on PPV? Ridiculous. Vanity for GBP and its fighters.

To answer an earlier posters question about fights that were laughed from PPV to regular premium channels. Mosely-Mayorga was gonna be PPV and so was Marquez-Rocky Juarez. Thank god someone talked some sense into them on that one.

cool. i knew there had to be precedence but couldnt think of one.
i think cotto/foreman was initially gonna be PPV til hbo decided to pick it up.

No problem potna. I just get tired of hearing folks complain about a good old fashion Boxing match. If no matches were being televised for OUR enjoyment they would be cryin about how theres no Boxing to watch and everybody is scared to fight each other. It's just horrible to me if you b!tchin about a good scrap, when our sport doesn't get as much exposure as football, baseball, or basketball, yet it's been around longer than all of those sports. I would rather mutha****as pipe down and watch the fights or take up knitting and move around. Im a Boxing fan all day everyday.

I think it should be on regular HBO. But you never know. I see this fight going like the first fight, an easy night for JMM

Obviously you never seen the first fight. Marquez was losing before he stopped diaz. The fight was a very close fight and marquez was losing. Again how the hell that is an easy night for Marquez. And eazy night is pacquaio knocking out Hatton in 2 rounds. An easy night is floyd toying marquez for 12 rounds. An easy night is Wlad ****ing eddie chambers up and almost killed the dude. That is an easy night. Losing before knocking out an opponent is not what you call an easy fight. Its not fight of the year for nothing now.

I'm sick of HBO bending backwards for Golden Boy. The first fight was really good on paper and even better live but a lot has changed since then. Diaz should not be headlining a HBO PPV after only 'really' winning 1 fight out of his past 5.

I wouldn't care if it was on an independent PPV, the fighters and promoters can do as they please but HBO should not be putting money into this.

This fight is as pointless as Pac/Clottey .... pathetic and on PPV all these good LW's and Diaz was the one to pick? I was looking forward to see Marquez next fight but just like the last Pac fight I ain't buyin ....
