    He turned it down because they offered him something like 400K.

    Naz ducked JMM and Morales. JMM waited for 2 years to get a good offer from Naz, but Naz ducked him instead of being exposed by JMM and EM.

      That maybe, but Steward was Naz's trainer and Naz's trainer done said they purposely avoided JMM.

        When did Steward say that? JMMs people said at the time that they turned down the Naz fight.

          Steward has made multiple comments during JMM's fights and during interviews. Steward said he told Naz to avoid JMM, EM, and MAB, but decided to fight MAB after his loss because Naz felt MAB was over the hill.

            during a freaking HBO telecast of a JMM fight. someone posted a vid not too long ago as well. It was either the Jaca fight or another fight.

This came from the best source possible, Hamed's own trainer. So people can link all the articles they want, they can post all the hearsay.

                Emmanuel Stewart himself said they straight out ducked JMM.
                it does not matter if steward wanted to avoid jmm or not.

                the fact is the fight was offered. marquez turned it down.

                call it what you want. bad negotiations. overpricing yourself. whatever.


                those are the facts.

                  BT: That’s something I wanted to get into. No one will argue your prowess or hall of fame credentials as a trainer. However, as a manager many in the boxing community have questioned your calls; such as passing up $750,000 for a mega-fight with “Prince” Naseem Hamed for $30,000 against a relative unknown at the time Chris John in his backyard, Indonesia.


                  NB: Not true. Most of the information you find in articles, I believe, is done as a mandate or perhaps they receive a salary from Top Rank. That fight that we took in Indonesia was not just because I wanted to take it. They are placing the blame on me and I never wanted that fight. It’s just that the people don’t understand that we entered a purse bid and they set a trap for us. After we entered into the purse bid, everyone bailed out and they left us alone. It’s a detail that will stay with me for the rest of my life; not everything in boxing is clean. They withdrew from the bidding and left us on our own and we had a commitment to fulfill. It’s a commitment I absolutely did not want. If we did not follow through with our commitment, we would have come off as very cowardly. And Juan Manuel told me, “Let’s go, no problem.” And they robbed us. They did whatever they pleased at the hour of reckoning. They did not let us use the Mexican gloves, and well, it’s just too much to get into, too much to try to convince the people. Many people intervened to try and destroy the career of Juan Manuel because we did not want to continue with the promoter (Top Rank) that we had at the time. But no one, nowhere, when there is a great champion in a division can impede that they once again become champion of the world. They took his titles in total gangster fashion and we unfortunately did not have the resources to engage in a legal battle we would have easily won. It was everything boxing shouldn’t be; a fighter losing his titles at a desk.

                    LOL, was he going to admit that while? He admitted this information about 3 years ago. He would have no reason to lie.
