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

[Sugar Q]

Exactly. Mayweather fights P4P elites that are on winning streaks and coming off signature performances. Pac fights solid welterweights that are coming off loses, rebuilding from loses, or coming off lacklsuter performances against lesser fighters.

Morales I- Morales coming off loss to Barerra

Morales II and III- Morales coming off being completely outclassed by Zahir Raheem. Why didn't Pac fight Raheem?

JMM II- JMM rebuilding from loss to Chris John

de la Hoya- coming off a lackluster performance against "2 Pound" Forbes

Hatton- dman near KO'd by Lazcano (who couldn't punch at lightweight) two fights prior to fighting Pac

Cotto- coming off a KO loss to Margarito and lackluster performance agaginst a B Class fighter in Clottey

Clottey- Coming off a loss to Cotto who Pac had just KO'd

Margarito- coming off being completely outclassed and KO'd by Mosley

Yeah, as I look at, its nothing to criticize here. Just an ATG doing his thing.

Leave it to *******s.

They need to make a special weight division for Manny Pacquiao, and also craft a new "diamond belt" to honor these special events.

The new weight division will have no upper or lower limits. It will look somthing like a lottery ticket, where Manny can just fill in his opponents name, tick the check-boxes that apply, and then hand the card to his opponent so that they know what weight they are allowed to make.

The new "diamond belt" could, of course, only be won by Manny.

Lol, true. That's really what their doing anyway.

As a Pac fan..

all i can say is **** Arum..




140 is fair.. no catch weight!

[MegatronCEN*CAL]

These guys love catch-weights, and all of the sudden they don't want one?

[AndyShitHot]

He was actually talking about Marquez at 147, but you are correct.

That my point, the Marquez fight is pointless unless they meet half way at 140.

Leave it to *******s.

No "Too Sharp" Johnson at flyweight. No Paulie Ayala, "Bones" Adams, Israel Vazquez, Oscar Larios, or Johnny Tapia at 122. Of course, he did make Larios move up two divisions to fight him at 130 and was buzzed in the process. No Joel Casamayor or Nate Campbell at lightweight. No Braldey or Alexander. Won't take a $40M drug test to fight Mayweather. No Martinez at 154. Are you noticing a pattern here homie?

[Da Hammer]

if Pac is gonna weigh in at 144 to the weight in, does it really matter if the fight is officially at 144 or 147? Fight shouldn't happen because Marquez is not on Pac's level, not because of any weight bull****. Since Floyd is more interested in going to jail than fighting Pac, then the only real option is to fight Berto...

[Pony Boy]

It's pain and simply what Arum is say. They don't want any part of Marquez

[adp023]

Why should we watch this fight again?

I actually prefer Pac to fight Berto, but the money isn't there.

As for Pac fighting JMM or Mosley...to me, they're both the same level of opponent. A 37 yr old lightweight future HOF and a 38 yr old welterweight future HOF. Obviously any welterweight would prefer a KO win over Mosley than a KO win over Marquez. BUT, I like Mosley...whereas I wouldn't mind seeing a stubborn lying clown like Marquez KTFO!! lol
