Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao vs Marquez Will Be at 147 or No Fight

[LeadUppercut]

now that arum will let pacquiao fight marquez at 147, marquez is ducking pacquiao by asking for a catchweight...marquez should be reminded that "beggars cannot be choosers"...marquez is in need of money that only pacquiao can give

To normal posters I reply with facts and honest debate, but.....

I can't wait until you little fanny-boys are gone

I wonder when Manny's gonna step up and fight somebody with a pulse?

I don't know why Marquez has the nerve to ask for a 50-50 split and demand for a catchweight against pacman??? Is this guy simply ****** or just ******ly arrogant? Is he basing this crazy demands on the close fights he had with pacman at 130 and lighter? then the 2 dudes that ko'd pacman at fw and bw should also demand a fight with pacman with a much higher split like 70-30 in their favor coz they kod the pac. Don't marquez know that fighters change as they move up or down in weight he should know coz he was blasted by Mayweather at 144 the same man that doesnt want to face pac at 147. If marquez would just use his brain for a while he should realize that he has no right whatsoever to demand anything from pac if he really want redemption he should take whatever the cash cow demand and get on with his redemption thing and if he wins then he proved to everyone he was right all along and now he can demand the bigger slice of the pie against other fighters.

is this a joke? He's saying they want let Pacquiao starve himself to go from 144 to 142 but Ariza and Roach claim they have to forcefeed him and give him 7k calories a day JUST to make weight. Not only that Roach says that he's not a real WW. So you can't have it both ways. Enough with the excuses.

Why let Margarito drop down 4 lbs to 150???? How about fighting Cotto @ 145 lbs? LMAO, these guys are huge jokes and anyone can see it.

Marquez has no edge to demand he cant even fill up a phone boot with his fight...lol

FACT: JMM is ducking Juama.

Floyd fans are exposed

in fairness to marquez, he is entitled to no higher than 20 percent...as a compensation to being chopped like a dead meat at fight night...so, can marquez have the balls to do it at 147? no catchweight...beggars cannot be choosers...

WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is pushing very hard for a third fight with Manny Pacquiao. The three division champion from Mexico would like the fight to take place at a max catch-weight of 144-pounds. Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, is not going to budge on the weight. Arum, along with Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, are taking a hard line with Pacquiao's next fight taking place at the full welterweight limit of 147-pounds.

Funny how the Catchweight king is too heavy for JMM that anything less than 147 would kill Pac, drain him to death. Oh god, this Pac parade is easily becoming really annoying! Pac only weighed 144lbs at the weighing for Marg fight and he can't make it this time for JMM? *******ation has invaded the sport of boxing!

You are reading it out of context what Arum meant by anything less than 147 it means 140 and below. Why need a catch weight when we all know that Manny will come in @144 tops to facing JMM.

Mayweather had fought 5 fights at welter or higher when he fought JMM. Pac has fought 4. What's the difference? Hell, at least Money fought him as a tune-up after a two year layoff. Pac and his crew will be trying to pass this off as a legitimate fight.

who is trying to pass this off as a legitimate fight. manny dont even want this fight. its jmm who wants this fight. its jmm who is crying and belly aching like a jilted lover trying to secure this fight.

why would pacman concede to jmm demands. what does jmm bring to the table. maybe your the type that would bow down to someone's demand and pay them after they just insulted you.

FACT:JMM only knows how to fight going backwards. Only comes forward when opponents are weak and tired later rounds.
