Marquez Lost Title

[Nautilus]

juan manuel marquez was just stripped of his IBF Featherweight championship because no promoter was willing to spend a minimum of $50,000 on a purse bid for his mandatory IBF defense. hes also expected to lose his WBA title too.

serves him right.

check out ESPN.com for more.

I think it was wrong to strip him of the title for this reason.
There should be a provision to deal with cases where no promoter is willing to offer a minimum bid for the mandatory defense.

JMM scared to get beat up.

Scare to get beat up? By who? Pac had him down three time in the opening round and then took Pac's best shots for the next eleven rounds. If that's what you call "scared", then we definitely have a difference of opinion.

The explain how the hell that boring JMM refused 750 K and demand 1.5 mil to fight PAC which is the entire licensing fee that HBO had offered for the rematch and after defeating Polo JMM refused 1.5 mil and demand 3.5 mil to fight Morales, a figure that was never guaranteed to more popular Morales. JMM is either way out of his mind or scared to beat up. And look at what happenend, no promoter is willing to pay that 50 K .

JMM beats everybody he faces, except an off night against Norwood and then a draw with Pac. Ask the promoters why they won't pay the 50K and they will answer "because I won't get rich enough quick enough when Marquez beats my guy". The truth is simple: Marquez beats guys and this doesn't get promoters rich very quick, especially if they're guy is the challenger.

Marquez is smart. He has nothing to prove to most fight fans, it seems, except Pac fans.

This is a smart response. The fight game is full of **** when a champ is held responsible for the lack of response from other promoters. Marquez is seeking the mandatory fight, which is his right, and that fight is not available for one solid reason .... Marquez beats those mandatories and promoters aren't gonna' sign-up for that.

what does "beating everybody" has to do wit this?!!!!!

Fact is, JMM and his camp made bad decisions. They thought they were worth mo than what they deserved. JMM' wanted 3.5 mil to fight Morales, he wants 1.5 mil to fight Pacman. Those numbers were ****in stoopid.

Stop huggin ta nuts fo a while and think befo you speak.

refusing a rematch against Pacman is......"being cautious" HOWS THAT?! Get off it!

he's not scared just wants to get paid and if you really think about it if pac man couldnt finish him off the 1st fight theirs no way he's going to beat him on the rematch. marquez learn his lesson and knows how to beat pac man even if he has to make it a boring fight.
