Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: We Will Step Back For Pacquiao-Marquez

[hb stowe]

wow oscar just hanged marquez dry. the real reason he doesn't want to promote the fight coz pacman demanded guaranteed money. pacman said this fight does not make financial sense. so if he has to fight marquez he want guaranteed prize money and he dont want to co-promote like he does with top rank( manny has mp promotions) obviously arum would not touch this fight. now oscar is washing his hands. poor marquez thats what you get when you work with gbp.

[hb stowe]

pacquiao and arum both agreed that pacquiao vs marquez III wont sell. so Top Rank and MP promotions are not gonna risk their money so marquez can have his third fight. if marquez wants his third fight he should ask dela hoya to promote it. but too bad his promoter abandoned him.

pac is ducking jmm simple and plain

How is he ducking a guy who he beat twice? I don't know anyone who thinks this would be anything other then a murder. Why should pac gift rap another beat down to jmm, just so he can retire with a lil pocket money? Pac knows he can beat him, jmm knows pac will beat him, the whole world knows pac will beat him, why do the fight?

I don't like the mosley fight either by the way, but all this "ducking" a guy he beat down years ago, who also happens to be way past his prime is just sour g****s. U can't win a fight when u keep getting knocked on ur ass, jmm needs to get over it and move on before he gets himself hatton'd.

GBP are really desperate right now. If and when Floyd do resolve his legal problems, he'll probably no longer do business with them. Shane Mosley is possibly looking for a way out. Marquez and Khan are all they got right now.

He made monay with Clottey and Marg....and you say a fight with marquez is not gonna make money/???? yeah you are scared too.

[indystress]

if i remember correctly, the 2nd pac/marquez did only 400,00...i think arum believes it wont be that much different a third time around...with mosley/pac, i can see atleast 1mil PPV buys...so its obvious that the money is with mosley.

He took what Manny owed him, so fkn what ?

A hypocrite, now let me see.....
A hypocrite would be somebody who holds a JMW title, and yet would not dare to fight an actual JMW That would be a hypocrite alright.

Or, a hypocrite.....
would be somebody who calls themself P4P, and yet demands a catchweight of 145 to fight Cotto, and yet would also demand 147 to fight Marquez.

GTFOH !!

The fact that Manny demanded a catch-weight of 145 for Cotto, and yet will not fight Marquez unless the fight is held at 147..... is priceless

NEW SLOGAN :
Team Pacquiao..... p1ss-scared of Marquez since 2004

Not fighting in middle weight? pac agreed to fight the middle weight bob arun wont agreed to it, pac will face any opponent that his promoter put in front of him!

miguel cotto go down 1lb on his natural weight which cotto agreed to it, not 147 to 140 or 142lbs like the lightweight champ asking for!

who is marquez to dictate the terms for the cash cow of the fight! his not even proven at WW! might as well GBP ask coto to go down in weight and fight marquez but i bet you he wont even win that fight!

pac is the star on the fight night with cotto, and cotto agreed to catch weight from 146 to 145 lbs, he can always say no to pac just like pac to no 140 or 143 catch weight

" I am willing to step back because it is best for Marquez "

Say what you like about Oscar.....

But you simply cannot compare that ****bag Arum and that hype-job Pacquiao, with Hoya and Marquez.

You're actually right with that.

Arum is a better promoter. Be doing it for decades.

And, Pac is an ATG top 50 somewhere while JMM and Oscar are arguably not even ATG's... First ballot HOF'er? Sure ATG? eh arguably not even top 100 material
