    Maybe because he's going to get paid millions for the fight. You would rather fight on HBO for 1 million or fight on PPV for millions? JMM made his biggest payday against Floyd and that's why he decided to fight Floyd. JMM is just looking for a payday right now because he's at the very end of his career.

    How can you blame a guy at then end of his career looking for a payday?

    Let's see...

    Fight a mandatory for 1 million, or fight Poochiao on PPV for at least 5M?

    Not a hard decision especially since JMM has been chasing Pac for years.
    Owning? I made a valid question? Why sign the contract if you know your going to be at fully disadvantage that your not be able to win?

    And your answer was you can not blame the guy for looking at a payday?
    So he is in for the money, and he is the only one to be blamed for losing.

      Juan cant carry the weight like Pac can. He loses his reflexes and that is all he has as a counter puncher. He gets killed at 147 against Pac. They all know it.

        because those same people said that marquez was fat, slow and useless as a welterweight.

        remember september of 2009?

          Every big name boxer is in it for the money. Floyd, Manny, etc and even JMM, but JMM has no problem fighting the best in the sport. That's the difference between him and Floyd/Manny. JMM has no fear and he acts like a true p4p fighter by ducking no one.

          JMM, Floyd, Manny, Cotto, etc are prize fighters now.

          Answer my question... Why is it okay for Manny to fight a past prime 37 year old LW at 147, but Floyd can't do the same? You forgot how much **** Floyd got in 2009 for fighting JMM?

            Thats your problem with the *******s not mines. Didnt Mosley just fought not so long ago? about 6 months ago? Why is he considered now shot or past prime. Its either he is or he is not?

            But anyways, I am just looking for an answer that people believe that Pac and Marquez is now at a different level at this time of their career. And thats all there is too it.

              Mosley was still good when Floyd fought him at 147 because he was the #3 p4p fighter in the world, champ, and best WW at the time. Floyd destroyed him for 12 rounds and he had a draw against Mora. (I think he won the fight). Mosley is only good against guys that come forward like Margacheato. He's shot because he found out he can't pull the trigger anymore.

              Manny is in his prime, became a better boxer, is fighting in his natural weight class, is in his prime right now, etc.

              Marquez is already way past his prime, has slowed down, his face gets cut easily and bruises after every fight, loses speed and power when he fights over 135, etc.

                Mosley was p4p 3rd and a legit WW. Btw don't see how its an issue if the fight is at 140 since everyone's saying Pac is a natural 140er.
