how much was jmm's guarantee against wifebeater jr? $5 million?

The americans love Mosley more than Marquez. Only a few know Marquez. They will buy the ppv if it is Mosley.

mosley is proven to be a better sell than jmm... that I cannot deny. plus mosley isn't asking for $5 million. hmmm..... if you were pac, which fight would be the most logical and make the most money for you?

That was a tuneup fight.. When you have tune-up against a titlist in your first fight at LW and still make 5M, then I say its not bad..

JMM beat the #1 guy in the division in his first fight. That's the difference.

I got news for you JMM is not the best for Pac at this point.. Its just a bad alternative to an even worse match in Pac/Mosley....A JMM win over Katsidis is way overrated...I would rather have Pac fight Berto, or the winner of Alexander/Bradley fight..

JMM is pricing himself out of this match.. He should be thankful that Team Pac are even lookin at him as a possible next opponent...

another dissenting voice... looks like jmm asking for $5 million might be outrageous after all... considering a win over katsidis is overrated.

arum is really pretty cool to even bring the offer to pac if what you say is true.

interesting.... isn't that division is 2 lower than pac's current divsion?

You mean an aging Casamayor who was losing against Katsidis. The same guy who robbed Pitalua of a win 2 fights before...

Mosley obviously because he's shot. Less risk more reward. But comon now man people aren't ******, the only people who will order that fight are strictly Manny Pacquiao fans. Fans of Mosley(like myself) know he's shot and over the hill and the fight wouldn't be competitive. People WANT a competitive fight. Mosley is not a competitive fight. I guarantee you it won't sell 1mill+ I guarantee you that.

Thats what they said about Pac-Marg, and that fight made 1.15M ppv buys...

Those same 1.4million people who ordered Mayweather vs. Mosley saw what Mosley can do. Do you honestly think Mosley vs. Pacquiao will do bigger numbers than Marquez vs. Pacquiao 3? If so please go back to school because business is obviously not one of your best attributes.

If HBO gave Marquez Pacquiao 3 with a 24/7 and showed both fights on HBO before hand people will get excited. It'll be just like the 2nd fight, half crowd Mexican, half crowd Filipino. This fight would sell huge on PPV. You'll have 50% of the people thinking Marquez won and 50% of the people thinking Pacquiao won. What better way to settle it once and for all then with a 3rd fight?


Like I said, it's the biggest fight that can be made besides Mayweather.

Easily could sell out the MGM Grand and do 1.5mill+ EASY.

so people saw what mosley could do against wifebeater and so won't by the pac/mosley fight... but people saw what jmm could do against wifebeater and so they will buy the pac/jmm III fight?

Floyd-JMM fight sold 1 M ppv buys... But that is after being postpone for 2 more months allowing more time to promote the fight...Then you have Floyd coming out of retirement.. And then JMM status as P4P# 2.. And then the perception of how good JMM above 140... A lot of hype and anticipation on that fight...

interesting... so now that jmm has lost a lot of hype and anticipation for his first dip above 135 lbs... you're saying that the hype and anticipation the 2nd time around won't be there?

How much less money did Pacquiao take against David Diaz than he would've got in the rubber match against JMM? How many PPVs did it do? 95,000 buys? Lol.

interesting... so did david diaz get a $5 million guarantee in that fight? does that mean that jmm should also get a $5 milllion guarantee in a rubbermatch?
